I Found $500 - $2,000 Worth of Rare Soul 45s in a Thrift Store!

- I bought thirty 45s for $150 this weekend at a local thrift store and Discogs says they are worth between $500 and $2000. It's been a VERY (very!!!) long time since I've had this kind of score at a thrift store. Watch to see which rare 45s I found.
I'll admit, some of these are common and not that valuable, but I included them anyway as I will use them for my DJ sets.

For the most part people looking for records are looking for LPs and ignore 45s, which is a huge mistake. Usually worth more than what Discogs says too. I found a record for $1 called Harvell guiton and it sold for almost $1300 on eBay with a sales history of 500 or less, so you never know.
$150 at a thrift store is INSANE for 45s...what kind of thrift store is this - i've bought entire collections of 45s in cases at thrift stores for $5 - they must be lusting over online prices at this thrift store..which really isn't a thrift due to those prices. Some good titles though in general. Nothing to feel bad about obviously but these thrift stores are more like boutiques now. DIscogs has actually levelled the playing field... good and bad depends on what you're expecting to sell.
Thanks for watching. If there’s one thing I know for sure about thrifting is whatever I pay, someone always finds it for a better price lol 🤷🏻
I'd say 90% discount of what they would sell for is about normal for thrift stores these days.
I am addicted to collecting the 45rpm now after finding an original copy of Robby Lawsons Burning Sensation on Kyser Label, incredibly rare. Found it with 50 plus other 45s in a plastic storage bin for only $5!!
Amazing!
Nice score! 45's are always the "sleepers" that can often get overlooked. My greatest financial find is still "What Will Tomorrow Bring" by Waymond Hall on the Jamal label. I got $950.00 for it! Not bad considering I bagged the whole boxful of discs at a yard sale for 20 bucks!
Amazing find and sale, congrats! I LOVE looking through 45s - they are so much more interesting when shopping for vinyl these days. Thanks for watching and sharing!
The break on The Winston's "Amen Brother" is one of the most sampled breaks of all time. Just about every jungle track samples that break.
Agreed. Thank you for watching!
not hard to find yes it's been sampled to death was cool in 1992 for sure. THe original song is bangin great arrangment over all.
Wow…thought you were going to something good like play the music. Record collecting is not only about money
I can’t play music here without licensing the songs which isn’t something I can afford to do on the platform. Thanks.
Drake and the Ensolids. Please leave me. Know it well, was huge in UK 78/79
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
That's a nice pick up of some great 45s. As for the name/address stickers, I have found that using a bit of soap and warm water with a Q-Tip type swab, and getting the sticker wet, let it soak for about 10 seconds, and use the cotton swab to gently push at it from the corners and sides will often remove the sticker completely and safely from the label. The trick is to keep the label and swab wet (not soaked), and keep working it from all four sides. I have had very good success doing this, although some labels have a lot of glue, and in those cases won't work, but the address labels may come off. You might want to experiment a bit first on a less rare record. Good luck.
Great advice thank you!
how do you deal with the red color of some labels that bleed no matter what you use
@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 Labels such as the '64-'69 Red Columbia labels and others- I use a less wet Q-Tip, more like damp, keep working the label from all 4 corners. I have sometimes used a bit of toilet paper or a tissue and dabbed around it. It does take a bit of practice but is doable. I have removed them from various red-colored labels.

Good finds. Not showing the condition of these 45s would make one think they are VG- or less. Some look very bad. Condition major factor in pricing.
Yeah, I hear ya but a video showing exact condition of each 45 would be pretty boring and painful to watch lol. Regardless, I listened to them all, graded properly and any duplicates or others I decided not to keep sold FAST.
@@ForeverAnalog when I look at i e my J. Brown Please please please LP (mint -) It's never boring and painful to watch lol. Mint cover with 2" label I'm excited. Have over 100s in great condition. It matters.
45 collectors care less about condition than LP collectors. Some of them are rare enough that even if they’re in G condition, they’re still sought after and valuable.
Soulhawk is a Detroit label, I think.
Yes it is a Detroit label
Discogs is more accurate than they guy trying to low ball you.
that's what I like about it , it has levelled the field to some degree , some records that were thought to be rare..suddenly copies appear due to ease of posting on the site.. but I do think some are like 'drop shipper' scams. That's something I'm wary of but I don't buy too often online.
@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 The old website GEMM used to back and support sellers who sold others products and "piggybacked" their listings. There's only one issue with that. They really can't pass a grade as the item is not before them and there's a very high likelihood of the item selling. Those sellers all had a 50-80% fill rate and GEMM proudly disclosed that fact. That's why they went under.
That Third Party was more Detroit soul.
Play your cards close to your vest; don't tell collectors you have multiples. I know a guy who sold sports cards and listed 5 of the same card on Ebay all at once. It was purchased by a speculator when it became a no-brainer to by all 5 and flip individually.
Smart! Thanks for watching.
The hope you have is in our hearts. Great find.
Another trick to removing the address labels is to take some vegetable oil and gently rub it into the labels and let it sit for a few hours to soak in and break down the old adhesive from the labels after the oil has been put on the labels check every 3 to 6 hours gently pulling up at the corners of the labels, usually after a few hours the old labels will come right off.
Awesome, thank you!
Drake and En-Solids is rare and sought after in uk for last 40 years!
I was so happy to find!!!
Nordern soul
Drake and the En-Solids is a very good record and Brothers of Soul on Boo is OK also but Brothers of Soul isn't so easy to sell.
Sundays is a good northern soul tune
Amazing finds and all amazing songs
Thank you!
Cool score!
If I have a bunch of these laying around could I take em to a pawnshop?
I think a record store would be more fair in their pricing and payment to you.
@@ForeverAnalog thanks for the help 🙏🏿
Yowzer!! Outstanding finds ✊🏾
Thank you!
What if they got like a drill hole in the record?
They can still be valuable with the hole.
it's a deleted record usually has no drop in value - usually means it was ignored in the stores and lost a place in the racks when first released..sometimes it means promotional record.
Does using generic sleeves lessen the value?
I don’t think so
A treasure trove! 😍
Indeed!
