You're still a young family man Alex and it saddens me that you didn't get to have your Dad in your life awhile longer. May his records and the fond memories associated with them bring you a sense of his presence.
My mother was the record collector in our family. When I was about 13 years old, my uncle bought me my first LP for my birthday. It was the Mammas and the Pappas "California Dreaming". That started off my collection of records, which grew and grew and grew until about the 1980's when vinyl records were no longer sold in South Africa because the CD was the new in thing. I was mesmerised when you were going through your Dad's records, especially the 45's. It must have been heartbreaking for you to have to sell your Dad's precious collection, but there always comes a time in life when difficult choices must be made.
yeah, I know the feeling my uncle had about 10,000 records but my aunt thought she could sell them without my expert help (i have been collecting too for about 30 years 78s and cylinders mostly) and she got a really shitty deal the guy basically scammed her out of thousands! I would have taken in the records so she would have had room in her house and I would have divided it into sections from trash to treasure and auctioned them off on our national record fair's auction section far better than a local record dump dealer who pays 5 bucks a kilo! so people do some research and a place where 2 to 3 million collectors come to forage is probably the best option. also, I would have done that all for free you do that for family and dear friends.
@@OhMaryJo no never assume just ask and always talk about inheritance. also, do the homework because if you sell too cheap it is your own fault. when I buy bulk I recon on value of just a few items I can see the rest comes later so if I get a collection worth thousands instead of hundreds it is not my fault but a lucky find for me if you find an expensive painting in a thrift store for a dollar the owner wouldn't call you a scammer. getting an appraiser helps in these circumstances or sell at auction. when Alex got that huge collection of watches and parts for a low price then you would not call him a scammer, would you? I don't even know if the term scammer applies I think the right terminology is a swindler. so for your own stuff, I would say be careful do the homework google and eBay know a lot (eBay past sales) it all has to come from you because most countries' laws say that a deal is a deal if you get swindled then you lost.
I had gone back to watch your earlier videos and realized that the first video you shared was you and your father record hunting! Very bittersweet indeed. :( Bless you and how wonderful that your dad left you such a legacy, you're a good son!
Your video brought back memories of my father’s passing 2 years ago. He was a well-known voice in the music industry and had been an avid collector since he was a kid. I believe at one time he had 30,000 items (78s, 33s, 45s and CDs)! It was a lot of work going through, so I know your struggle. Music has always been an important part of my upbringing, and I cherish so many of those memories, it brings me closer to him.
I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I get so emotional when you put clips of your dad in videos. I lost my dad when I was 23. Dad's are one of those special things that can't be replaced. Mom's can't be replaced either, but we both still have ours. I can only imagine how difficult this was for you. I still have some of my dad's stuff that some may would love to collect, others only I have any connection to.
Oh the music!!! Born in 64 I was brought up on a lot of these, my dad was only 18 and loved music, which he passed on to me 😍 While I was away at school he sold off a load of LPs to his students and when I returned home I was furious, as some were mine... Turned out he sold them to his students (he was a cool teacher and often had the latest albums he would tape on request lol). The boy who bought most of them became my husband, so I got my records back!!! 🤣
What a cool collection of music and comedy recordings. I could lose myself listening to it. Stephen sure has grown since that clip with your dad. I love it that you have the Ghostbusters' Sta-Puft marshmallow man on your ambulance key chain.
I can only imagine there are some Beatle fans melting as you go through these. Keep some for your kids, I bet they'll get into the Beatles when they are older.
you got the turn table set up start playing these albums, someone will walk in and hear it and will want to buy it, you would be surprised how many times I have gone out to buy an album or cd when I walk into a small store and hear an old song I like and ask the owner who they are playing and what album. for you its right here for x amount.
What an amazing collection of records! I'm a bit jealous, in the sense that I want to kick back and listen to all my favorites and a few new to me. So much fun in those albums!
Debbie Mcwaters EVPEACE I had the same thing happen to me. I lost 2/3 of my collection😩. I had the Beatles on capital and from there up to early punk, rock, all kinds. It seems the 1/3 that made it are all the meh ones!
Thank you for taking me down memory lane. I had many of these albums until they were stolen in the early 60s. I loved in a purple shellacked house at the time. In northern Ohio.
Wow Alex 😍 Your Daddy's collection is so amazing!! Such a treasure of rarities too!! I was drooling 😂. I hope you let Heather pick some out for keep sakes ❤️ There was a story on the news here in Dallas, TX over the weekend how albums are going to out cell CD'S this year & how old school record stores are popping up every where😍 I love all of that music in your Daddy's collection.
I am sorry for your lost. My husband passed away a few months ago and my father. I truly understand what you are going through. My husband was a musician and worked in the film industry and also collected records. God bless you!
A very nice coworker of my husband repaired my mom’s old stereo record player from the early 60’s. I ordered a number of records used and new (reissued) to add to my small collection. Just like listening to vinyl now and again. Brings back fond memories.
Awww, how great. Greetings from Calgary 😀 What a fabulous walk back through memory lane for you I bet eh?. Sure wish I lived in Edmonton I'd be in your store every weekend. Happy New Years to you and your family...wishing you all the best! 🎉🎊
I am a record collector and enjoy listening to my records everyday. I also enjoy the hunt of finding those special 'grails' that's on my 'wantlist'! When the time comes, my kids will inherit my collection and hopefully enjoy the wonderful experience of listening to music on vinyl.
Alex, I'm so glad that you still have some of your fathers collection of albums. He has some really good titles from what I've seen. I thought of my dad when I saw your video. My dad was a talented local drummer and loved music of many different types. He had decent album collection (not as big as your dads') and I remember looking through his albums when I was a kid. Sadly he passed away in 1996 and his record collection was destroyed. So that is why I'm happy that you have some of your dads albums
I know this must be bittersweet for you. Yet it is good that you will find a good home for some of these, keep some of these, and maybe Heather will want some to gain insight into her dad too. It is all good as you incorporate some into your life, and move some on to new good homes. Lots of the titles were part of my teenage time, brought back memories. I loved the video.
@@melw401 Nope it's a '64. I didn't want to get it wrong and I thought it was a '64 or '65 so I googled both and the pictures I found of '64 sedan devilles are exactly it. Then to verify, I went back and checked the video where Alex bought it and he says in the video it's a '64.
So sad when one person's passion doesn't transfer down the generations. I get how you are feeling Alex. I'm dreading being the recipient of my mother's spoon collection when the time comes. It will bring up a lot of memories and emotions, but they aren't something that I have the desire to keep and add to the collection. I think I'll probably photograph them in their display racks to hang on to the memories, and then let them go.
Hi Alex, I'm blind mellow jelly , I want My Daddy's records ‼️ that just came to mind when I thought about Redd Foxx And bubba . There's a lot of good music there. Some of it reminded me of just how old I really am.‼️😂🤣😆 enjoy the rest of your day 😃🖐🏼
I own many of these albums,I still play my albums every day ! Music,and scent are very important to me,both "Trigger" certain memories for me.I love the "Hans" intro ! How are the "Boys" doin ? (Josh, Hans, and Jakota) I miss seeing them, Did Mary's house ever sell, or are you still renting ? Happy New Year to The Archbold Family ! I love you all,what a kind,caring,wonderful family ! I never miss a video of yours. Happiness always, Cindy
You going through your dad's records remind me of my Mom's records. She had a collection I think of 500,000. Rooms were taken up. 45s and albums of all sorts of music.
Wow!!! really some great records. I used to buy collections back in the 70’s 80’s 90’s and early 2000’s and set up at record shows. Did about 22 shows a year. But now I’m 80 and lucky if I can do one a year. All my good records are long gone. But still have many 78rpms and 45’s, that includes 300 Christmas 45’s
Alex, Very wise-pace yourself. You don't need to do this all at once. And you're right, we can't keep everyTHING. However, we can keep the tunes and the memories that come with them. Lilghten your load but keep your heart full.
So Alex. Things are a little rough today down here in the states. Thanks for your wonderful videos. They provide great info and a great escape. You are appreciated.
I was totally entranced by your Dads collection. I love Vinyl records, unfortunately all my records were stolen in a burglary many years ago broke my heart at the time (still does). I doubt any were worth much monetary wise (I could only afford second hand mostly then) but memory wise they were priceless. Still trying to replace some now don’t think I will ever replace them all and my memory is kinda patchy now anyway. Enjoy the going through them part and yes hold on to the more special to you ones.
i love your shop and channel . your dad had a great collection . i understand how those records are meaning alot to you .i had the same thing happen to me when my dad died . only it was fishing gear . Take care Alex
It's actually a pretty bad idea! The fit is too tight, and corners aren't sturdy enough, so if the corners getting hit in transport, the corner of the cover will be damaged too! There are specialized record-mailers, with a lot of extra space and sturdiness to protect the record. They cost a bit of money, but if you are shipping records from 30 till a 100 $ it's worth it!
You can tell so much about a person from their music. Brian Auger, Link Ray, Stephane Grappelli... I think I would have liked your dad:) This must be so hard for you... Awesome video, thank you!
YES! Record collections get very heavy. I have 1500 LPs...well I lost count after 1500, and over 2000 45s. Having worked in radio for over 40 years I got to digitize all of the records for the radio station before they moved to their new location....guess who got the records? Yes Me. The radio station library plus all the many records I had before. Having moved last year I understand the issue of all the weight boxes and boxes of records create, in fact I used the sale type of U-Haul boxes during my move like you did.
Oh man, not sure the tracking turntable was as popular like you think. I had one and trying to get it to hit the right track was a pain lol. The direct drives were the best. Man watching that brings back memories. I got rid of my huge collection in the 90’s, wish I had saved it. I had a ton of early punk and metal stuff. Watching this video made me want to get back into collecting, till you reminded me about having to move them.
such a awsome collection must be a sad time for you.just going through all those albums must be a thrill those songs from long ago just bring back some great memories.
Another super video. I can understand your emotions. That turntable looks like my Technics SLQ2

You asked if we might watch full ads, as it is better for the channel, well, I just watched "Line Rider" the ad for the ap here, sooooo cooool! Watched the whole of it too, to Beethoven's 5th! That should pay toward's your electric bill! You're welcome.
this is a daunting task!!!! As you know, the condition is everything so even after you have sorted from covers, you are, at best, 1/2 way there! Wowzzaa.
I agree. Keep those albums that have meaning to you... for now. They are a tangible link to your dad, and his passing is too recent. Keep those you know, for the time being. In the future, your emotions won't be so raw, and you can consider letting go of them... or put them in safe storage for your kids.
This opens a great opportunity for Heather to have some memories of her father and his likes and passions and first hand experiences.
@nick
That's how they're related by their father.
@nick they have the same father but different mothers.
You're still a young family man Alex and it saddens me that you didn't get to have your Dad in your life awhile longer. May his records and the fond memories associated with them bring you a sense of his presence.
It is incredible how music can so easily take us on such incredible trips back to other times in our lives.
Oh wow. I am a collector. Gold. So very collectable. You will be blown away at the prices of Beatles 45's. Your dad had taste and an eye.
Love the Hans drop in!
hopefully will find some stuff for him to help out with again soon :)
@@CuriosityIncorporated maybe you should buy an old farm and renovate it - or an old theatre or a hotel :)
I too miss your father. I loved the videos he was in. Thank you for sharing this special memory❣️

It is wonderful for you to have some of your Dads's records for yourself, a real treasure!!!
Your dad sounds like a fascinating person, he's certainly passed along a legacy of love, music and art. He's proud of you Alex.

The feels from the vlog. New beginnings and old memories
Pizza boxes are great. I pick them up all the time when I can get them cheap. My main use is actually for dinner plates. Usually inside of a main box
I had gone back to watch your earlier videos and realized that the first video you shared was you and your father record hunting! Very bittersweet indeed. :( Bless you and how wonderful that your dad left you such a legacy, you're a good son!
I think it's so cool that you drive the caddy so much. Many people wouldn't but I would be driving too.
it's actually a very good all season car :)
@@CuriosityIncorporated and I've always said why have it if you're not going to drive it
@@CuriosityIncorporated They just don't make cars as good as they did then in my humble opinion.

What a wonderful collection, your home was full of music ♡ and nothing sounds better than an original lp. I like that ♡♡
I'm from your parent's generation. This is an incredible collection! So many musical meories as you flipped through the pile!
Oh the music!!!

Your knowledge of music is your dad's legacy. This nostalgic trip was a treat for me.
Thanks for the video.
Peace
Great video Alex. Thank you for sharing your Dads collection with us!💙❤💚
What a great way to honor your dad - sharing his live of great music!
I can only imagine there are some Beatle fans melting as you go through these. Keep some for your kids, I bet they'll get into the Beatles when they are older.
Yes! I actually have a few of the Beatles albums and singles that he shows here.
I grew up in the 60's. Love the music from that era. All these records bring back so many memories 🙂

I love your laugh, Alex. I noticed the Elvis Presley movie poster in the ambulance, would love to have that.
That's so funny on that Beatles Hits album. I know my Dad has that one but I never noticed that.
What an amazing collection of records! I'm a bit jealous, in the sense that I want to kick back and listen to all my favorites and a few new to me. So much fun in those albums!
That would have been so hard for you😓 Thanks for sharing with us Alex, fantastic collection❤
Makes me miss all my old albums. Got lost in a move. Love the Beatles stuff esp. Lots there to Love. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

Oh dear Alex, so bitter sweet. I really feel for you all. Great memories though 💖💖💖🇦🇺. 🤣🤣, Beatleshits 👏👏
Sort them alphabetically by performers. That’s generally how people would look for a particular album.
Exactly what I was telling the video, lol I don't think Alex heard me.😆
Cathi FAM Journey 🤭😀
Thanks Alex for sharing! Your Dad was quite an artist, and I Like Frank Zappa too!
That's cool to remember your dad that way that's the way I am I just bought a bunch the other day you got some good ones there
My dad's favourite song is nights in white satin and deepest shade of pale,both my mum and dad are both into 1960s and 1970s,we grow up hearing them
That can’t have been easy for you, so lovely to have the records playing in the shop x
I’m glad you kept the special ones.

such a awsome collection must be a sad time for you.just going through all those albums must be a thrill those songs from long ago just bring back some great memories.
Another super video. I can understand your emotions. That turntable looks like my Technics SLQ2
You asked if we might watch full ads, as it is better for the channel, well, I just watched "Line Rider" the ad for the ap here, sooooo cooool! Watched the whole of it too, to Beethoven's 5th! That should pay toward's your electric bill! You're welcome.
this is a daunting task!!!! As you know, the condition is everything so even after you have sorted from covers, you are, at best, 1/2 way there! Wowzzaa.
I agree. Keep those albums that have meaning to you... for now. They are a tangible link to your dad, and his passing is too recent. Keep those you know, for the time being. In the future, your emotions won't be so raw, and you can consider letting go of them... or put them in safe storage for your kids.
Yah I remember going through my dads stuff. Some smiles and then some sadness in going through the stuff.
