Rocksteady is one of my favorite albums of theirs. It benefited from Nellee Hooper's production. Nice Third Eye Blind OG. So many hits off of that one. Their sophomore release was available on vinyl upon its release (1999). It's somewhat forgettable, though. Damon is an incredible artist. Wow, congratulations on Tripod. You weren't lying when you said you were bringing on the heat!

Hey Buddie. Nice 90s finds, as always. You never disappoint! That N.W.A tho 🔥!

"I'm ANGRY... Get in the ring with me!"

Enjoy the holiday, Chance

Big ups to Jeff, I hope he does well! Getting someone who used to work 3rd Man? 😬. Cheers! Tom

Pretty amazing how a record plant was set up, that is crazy. Dang, too bad Denver now has a pressing plant. I had a lot of extra room in my pool shop warehouse. Very nice interview Chance , you always ask great questions and keep the conversation going

The Art Rooney of Records! That’s a huge accomplishment, Jeff! All the best to you. What’s most impressive is your connection to city government officials and the ability to secure financing for a million dollar loan in this day and age. That must have been one hell of a great business plan you presented! Congratulations! Pittsburgh strong 💪🏽

Cannot believe the downers on Miles Davis and everyone jumping up and down for more Steely Dan - each to there own - but double standards

Great to hear Jeff’s story about his love for music & records turned into an opportunity to “make the donuts” instead of just eating them! Thanks Buddie! ✌🏻👍🏻

Good interview. The more pressing plants we can get here the better off the hobby will be

Great chat as usual guys. The only podcast I make a point of watching on YT. Cheers Nige

Nice one Chance, great interview and very informative. Jeff comes across as a thoroughly decent guy. Cheers Nige

I hope records are here to stay. CDs too. 😊

Great job with this, Buddie. Knocked it out of the park again. ✌🏻

Great interview Chance. And Jeff seemed like a pretty nice and motivated guy himself. Hopefully Hellbender Records will be a huge success and I'll keep a lookout for their label or logo on my records as I buy them 👍 Brian in Fort Worth, 🎶

I believe there’s two markets when it comes to vinyl records. The veteran collector’s market (those who have been collecting for 10 plus years and will collect regardless of market conditions) and the retail newbie’s market. Covid is 100% responsible for the spike in record sales but not just vinyl records alone, all things in the online retail market were selling like never before. People didn’t have to pay rent, they were receiving stimulus checks and unemployment checks monthly, never before did society have more money to save and spend on whatever they wanted. Covid created a retail market which temporarily performed like a push up bra or even worse full blown D cup booby pads. False impression of long term reality always lead to disappointment. The buzz from the club has worn off, the bra has dropped and the lights are on bright. The vinyl market is never going to die off completely. It’s simply changing from D cups to B cups.

How was the Ohio players able to get away with those covers in the 80’s in America…. I pulled one out to listen to the other day and my wife gave me a look like what the heck 😂

Is a butcher cover not the perfect example of a record that deserves to be slabbed? Or do we think that someone who owns a butcher cover should be playing that particular copy of when they want to listen to the album yesterday and today? Why wouldn’t they just listen to another copy? Because they should give one of the copies to someone else so that someone else can enjoy it? Do we honestly think that there will ever be a reality where a butcher cover being slabbed is what keeps someone from being able to listen to yesterday and today? Same goes for many albums, the turquoise zeppelin, an unpeeled velvet underground and Nico torso cover. Id even say a first UK dark side, and so many more. These things are pieces of history they are treasure and they belong in a museum, aka my house.

Seriously everytime I see one of these thumbnails I get a sense of happiness come over me and get excited to listen to the record rant. Best long form podcast in the VC in my opinion.

David, you have a sealed Butcher counterfeit from Japan. Probably has a colored vinyl record inside. Frank

Jason, do you have a #3 or #6 on the back lower right corner on your half peeled Butcher? Looks like a #6 with the strong glue. Thanks Mr Stickermania

I want to be the girl with the most cake

5 seconds of crowd and dealers walls,thanks for nothing

Are you gonna show stuff or drop names

I hate when trolls say: “That’s easy for you to say because you hide behind a keyboard.” I told the guy “at least you can see my face, you’re a hypocrite bc you are hiding behind a keyboard.”

Nice pickups chance! I caught most of those Brooklyn stores on my last NY trip. I need to pick up Amanda’s list for aure

Good stuff

Great finds Buddie! I knew you’d end up with some kind of 90s OG. Sweet Nirvana and PJ! And great pickup with the Shuggie Otis. Nicely done! 🍻

My sister just bought a VG + copy of Purple Rain with the poster 💜 She really loves Prince music. The singles on this record are 80s classics.

Sounds like Arnoldo was wanting you to have the same luck with buying records he does 😂

Good stuff.

My sister lives in Brooklyn …we gotta get up there and drag her around.😂

I copped “strictly business” from A1.. eons ago. This channels dope.

Shuggie Otis! ‘Dad Approved’

I'll take the Shuggie and Tim Maia please 🙂. EPMD Strictly Business...total classic. The legend that was John Peel played their debut 12" in 1987 on his BBC 1 radio show and I recorded it. Crazy that the guy championed the likes of Zappa/Beefheart, Velvet Underground, T Rex, Bowie, The Fall, The Smiths etc etc when they were unknowns and was playing underground hip hop in the 80s. Anyway, I digress....great buys all round mate. Cheers Nige

Very cool update sir congrats on your Brooklyn grail

On behalf of all record stores in NYC we want to thank you for spurring our economy to new heights. I have never heard of a Tim Maia but I guess this is the album to have. As usual I am missing out.

Great finds! Inspiration information is one of my favorite albums and favorite songs. I picked up a mint unplayed WLP in Sedona seven years ago for $15.00. Sweet Barry Wine that’s a nice Nirvana!! Shuggie VS Prince? 🤔 Two of a kind in that they both are multi instrumentalists, writers and producers of their own music. Shuggie was anti establishment and anti record company executives. He didn’t want anything to with Pop music or its culture. He was a real maverick. Why shouldn’t he be, he’s the son of the great Johnny Otis. We love Prince and his music too just for different reasons. Shuggie transcends the meaning of music. Prince plays basketball in high heals. 😂

Amanda's dad had the BEST record store in the 80s. Spent all my money there as a teenager. He still does shows.

Appreciate the shoutout, man! I appreciate you supporting my local shops even more. ❤ i'm ecstatic you found good stuff.

Who tf is Tim Maia?

One of these days Duder, you're going to have the baddest 90's collection around

that damned Noble Records looks darn near dangerous...😂

Some great finds. I need that hole 7-inch. She didn't kill Kurdt!!!

Great finds at the NY record stores Chance. I also have that Nirvana muddy banks album too (mine has the hypesticker, I got it a few years ago sealed). Hole, Pearl Jam 45’s 👏🏼👏🏼

Hey concert buddy, it was nice meeting you and Arnaldo at the record fair. I was the dude over by Billie’s table when he pointed out you guys behind me. Glad you got to check out the other record stores around the city. Academy on 12th street is my favorite. I check them out all the time, best prices in the city for original pressings.

Love the PJ single !!! ....that Purple Rain is nice ...but its not the purple one...... 😉

Nice score on that Purple Rain; bought a sealed one growing up. Amazingly, middle schoolers today can walk into a Target and also get one LOL! That WFMU show totally went under my radar. But I might go to a show in the UK or Spain next year, I need to anyway (to meet my British Airways mileage requirements). Y'all will know when you see the upload(s).

Sounds like it was a great trip. Nice scores! “He shoots, he scores!!”

It was a pleasure to have you in NYC. So many rekkids but so little time. Looking forward to the next time you visit. ✌🏻
