Stumbled on your channel on XMAS Eve..very informative. I inherited an enormous vinyl collection & I was looking for a way to catalog my collection. Thanks for posting this video.
One item I had to search for is the Facility Stamp when identifying a specific release. I.E. Capitol Records has 2 or 3 manufacturing centers (Hollywood, Terre Haute, somewhere else) and each location has a specific stamp near the Run Out Number on the vinyl. Discogs has a Forum Entry which contains many of the codes. 😊
Super helpful video -- quick question in case someone else would ask the same thing -- what do you do with a factory sealed LP that does not give you enough information to tell the exact pressing? Is it more valuable to leave it sealed without this knowledge or to open it just enough to remove LP and sleeve to get the remaining detailed information to find out exactly which pressing? Example: John Coltrane's SD-1361 will reveal 172 variations... (I think I narrowed it down to a 1975 reissue based on the album cover). What would you do?
Some records on discogs are really common and horrible, and certain people make up fake prices and say their rare. I made a 45, got 300 copies in my closet for example, sell them for 5 bux. According to discogs, my 45 is valued at 185 dollars lol.
Greetings, I'm thrilled that I found your sight. I have one amazing recording. I would like to get your professional opinion. How can we move forward? Hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks.
@@Music-for-Miles Thank you for your quick reply. It's not an album, it's a due plate 45. This amazing recording was researched by a PhD at Georgia Tech. I'll try to send a clip if you're interested. Let me know if you still have an interest. Thx
How can you rate the vinyl if you never listened to it????? btw i saw a scratch and you rated it as near mint. A scratch must drop it to V Good (at best).
@@TartanPiglet I listened to every album after I filmed this in my for sale pile and updated any grading after. I was just trying to be helpful making this video. I don’t recall a scratch on anything NM which album?
Signed copies that are not a standard release or special edition are best valued by looking at listings on ebay of similar items recently sold, not discogs. You would need certification that it's authentic signatures.
Always great

That means someone sold your record on Discogs for that much. Discogs doesn’t make up prices for the values it’s based on actual sales

@VinylforMiles that's the goal I'm not looking on discog for prices but information on places to go possibly
Nice vid
DON'T HANDLE VINYL BY THE GROOVES!!
Did I do that? The only one I think I touched the grooves on was stuck to the cover lol
