Rule of thumb...don't collect records as an investment...collect what you like and what you'll play. Records are fun, they come in 12X12" covers with liner notes on the back. You can put your favorite album on the turntable, sit back, light up a spliff and read the notes to find out about the group or the songs your listening to. MP3 can't do that, neither can CDs.
"Cuts" or "cut outs" are generally record store returns of unsold stock. They were sold to distributors or rack jobbers at a highly discounted rates, then resold and marked down at a discounted prices. Promotional copies often have a stamp or an indicator on the album cover, record sleeve or label, as being a "promo" or "for promotional use"
Those cutouts are for overstocked albums selling at a reduced price, not for promo albums. They would also use a hole punch or cut off a tiny piece of the corner of the cover at an angle.
Thank you so much for the video, it was very helpful! I inherited a collection recently and this definitely helped me get started trying to figure out how to sell them. (I am usually the type of person who buys the $1.99 records you speak of)
When I started crate digging, I didn't have a clue about labels, reissues, etc - I just wanted to build a collection. The good thing is, after a few years of looking through boxes of records, you start to get a really good idea of what's common and what's rare - if I come across a band I've never heard of, that's a good sign. If it's a punk band with a DIY looking cover, that's really exciting. Now I have the Discogs app on my phone, so I can check on the spot if a) it's something I already own and b) which issue it is, etc. One reason that collectors are keen to know if it's a repressing or not, is that the original can have a better (or sometimes worse) sound quality.
This was the first video of yours that I have seen -- very good.
Well, you know none of us collected records for the money ! We just like records , i have a large collection and i dont really sell them as i would miss them ,but a guy paid my 600 for a chain Lp once ,,well im not really a chain Fan so i sold it, I really only like the one song called i remember when i was young,,, but sales like that are rare and lets face it we dont collect records for the money its for the love of music and records.
I always wondered what those little cuts in the jacket were. Interesting video!
That was a dope song intro
I looked up the lyrics word for word but can’t find the song you used what is it?? Its so good I want to find it
Love the video..great information. I have lots of vinyl I am from the baby boomers era and I have a lot but are also well used back in the day. Where can I go to sell all for a fair price..thanks so much
Quest...if the masters/album master are lost of a particular album.[from 1962]..are they more valuable? i will think so.
What about rock records from the late 60's and 70's. The first printings included extra papers and collectible throw ins such as Live at Leeds, Thick as a Brick, Sgt Peppers Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. What's the market like for those in decent condition?
I have been collecting Iron Maiden/Pink Floyd/Slayer records since the 80's. I still have my French promo Lp of Pink Floyd Obscured By Clouds and like a dozen bootleg albums from the 70's my uncle left me. They will have to bury me with my collection. LOL
Do you still got that ACDC back in black I'll buy that from you do you have a website I can order from and do you have an Instagram
very interesting video, I don't see too much of those, well I gave up looking for my favorite genres like Krautrock, Extreme Metal, Post Punk, Goth, Hip Hop cause I've spent too much money on those. So recently I was on a buying spree for some records by good artistis you could still find kinda cheap, my list of those artists will be: Earth Wind and Fire, Alan Parsons, ELO, Journey, Styx, Steely Dan, O'jays, Elthon John, 80's Elvis Costello, 80's Synth pop, 70's funk (except Funkadelic lol ) Genesis, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palemer, Disco Music, Exotica music, World music. I'm currently looking for 80's Cheap Trick records, I'm trying to find'em maybe for $2.00 or $3.00
My yellow submarine is in mint condition. From the Beatles found it in thrift store 50 Cent.
Small newer band's that make a few hundred records the break up . those are the one's that have value . obscurities I like the most .
How can you tell if it’s a first press or re issue? I bout a Led Zeppelin 1 vinyl for 30 bucks. It is used . The seller said it is graded VG++ it has a number SD8216. Did I get ripped off? Is it a good purchase? Please help
Damn I miss those days. I got tom pettys wildflowers for $20 in 2006.
