Awesome Jazz finds, Mingus, Brubeck, Jamal, etc. Great score! You've got a lot of listening to do. Not sure how long ago this happened, so you've probably listened to it all by now.
Actually, i rarely get to listen to my records until AFTER made the video! This was months ago! I listened to a lot of them while i was cataloging them and researching them for this video...but hadn't listened to them before this. The reason is...I've got so many "hauls" backlogged on my "new arrivals" shelves, it's hard to keep them in order...keep track of what's what...so, when i get them, i put them right onto the "new arrivals" shelves, put dividers in to keep them seperate from the other "hauls", then, i don't touch them for fear of getting things mixed up! Once I've done my video, THEN they get filed into the collection and get listened to.
Yeah, except I've got a lot of great records i haven't listened to yet because of that! Also, I've accidentally bought duplicates of records because i hadn't got them logged into discogs. The system definitely has its flaws. I'm taking more drastic steps now though to get caught up on videos. Some of my less exciting "digs" are hitting the cutting room floor so i can get through more digs in each video. Hopefully someday I'll be caught up(ish) and it'll alleviate the storage issues, the not getting to listen to them issues, the accidentally buying duplicates issues...and the "you missed such and such album...you should go back and get it" issue!
I have watched a few of the videos posted and the key point for me in buying vinyl is the condition of the sleeve and vinyl- the majority that you shared are rather rough for my taste - Happy digging though!
Yeah!!! It's great when there's that many...and there's good records in there!!! It sucks when there's no good records!!! But even when the records suck, i still have to look at every single one, because you never know!!!
It's super easy to keep fingers off of the grooves. I watch another channel of a guy that has like 14,000 records and very expensive ones at that, and he also puts his fingers all over the vinyl. I'd say about 99.9% (I'm actually probably being very conservative) of records I pick up at thrift stores have at least one fingerprint of grease that I have to clean off of them. Those Gene Krupa vs Buddy Rich are killer. Not sure how many they put out, but I know I have at least 2 of them.
Yes! Just hold it by the outer edge of the record (two hands)! ...or by the outer edge and the label (one hand). Zeppearl made a video where he was eating greasy potato chips and fingering expensive records! 🤣😂🤣 I'm pretty good about it, but on rare occasions i touch the grooves...but i don't sweat it because I've got multiple ways to clean records.
I've been to a lot of thrift stores, but I've never seen any records as good as this. Most regularly, I tend to see old church, Nana Mouskouri and christmas records which have all been beaten to hell.
I like your vids, cause you always pick the same albums that I would have picked. I would imagine that Nebraska is a great place to get older vinyl with it's dry summer climate, compared to the east coast with the high humidity? Here in NY, thrift shops always have super moldy/mildew heavy LPs.
We get a lot of humidity here too...not as bad as some places...but it's not arid here. Florida is the worst humidity I've experienced! But, as long as people didn't store their records in a dank basement, or a leaky garage, they're usually pretty dry. I DO have a handful of musty records though...actually the odor has pretty much gone away.
What a haul Tuco. Who knew you would find a Ahmad Jamal honey hole in Monroe. I would have scooped those up in a heartbeat. Amazing pianist. Cheers buddy.
What a haul Bro ! Man, I have very similar taste , we don't get to choose the records in the wild, so we know how to appreciate all kinds of interesting genres ! I picked a real good Herb Alpert LP today " Sumnertime".. and a Lena Horne and Belafonte " Porgy And Bess ! Also a minty Mancini !!
A very fun thing to do ! This dig I'm on is amazing, have to handle it differently, though.. I'm on it !! Have a good Thanksgiving, and time off from work ! ✌️
I remember hearing on radio about Sam Cooke's killing. I had just recently bought his single Good News. Eartha Kitt re-recorded her '50s RCA hits for stereo on Revisited in the '60s for Kapp. Funny you bypassed some more typical later Bert Kaempfert albums and took one of his earliest, Wonderland. Decca added some extra echo to the stereo version. Tenderly was #36 followup to #1 Wonderland by Night. It has some remakes of songs Bert did only in mono before. Ezio Pinza was in South Pacific with Mary Martin on Broadway. I like Ed Ames , first record in second box, but that copy looked bad. He's still alive at age 95. Not much country surprisingly for that area. Very interesting video. Many albums I never saw here in NY.
I really don't know much about Kaempfert...I'm pretty much just guessing when i pick something out. I've got a handful of his records...and i certainly don't feel like i need every one of his records...I see them all the time, that's why i pass on most of them...but every once in a while one will catch my eye! His version of Caravan is my fave!!!!
Wow, it's nice to go looking when there is actually something to look at. I always get nervous when I run into a good pile of records like that and think someone is going to start looking in front of me. It has happened and I miss out on some good records.The lady clerk in the store talked the entire time, never ran out of words. I have a lot of Mingus but not that one. I think Ertha sang a good version of Baby it's cold outside. I found most early Jazz on Fantasy is on red vinyl. I have the Port Said, And the Chico H ES but had El Chico record in it. Then later I found the El Chico album and it had a Ellington record in it but not the Chico ES.
Yeah! I get excited when there's so many records to dig through!...sometimes though, there's a lot of records, but it's all crap...luckily that wasn't the case this time!
Kind of reminds me of a find I found at a Pawn Shop in Blackfoot Idaho. It was a cross of a thrift store, antique store, and pawn shop. In the smaller towns pawn shops have records at times that are overlooked. Scored 60 funk/soul LPs and around 60 45s for $60. One of the LPs was the What is Soul album. $300. Love seeing the right people make scores like this. Nice one Tuco.
Wow, Tuco! That was an epic haul of incredible exotica and jazz records all found in one place off the beaten path. It shows you just never know what you'll find in these antique shops. Amazing! :)
Thanks Mike! Every once in a while!....and you never know when or where!!! Leave no stone unturned! Look anywhere and everywhere you think might have records!
cool finds, I just bought 4 boxes of lps at the auction, I went through them and made one box & left the rest, hopefully get a video up in a couple days
I used to have an antique store... I'd go to auctions twice a week! I haven't been to one in a couple years! I love auctions and should really get out to more!
Hi Tuco!! that was one hell of a mega haul find..... guess been consistent and keep diggin' sometimes gets rewarded!!! so many records, most of them in very good condition, both jackets and vinyl too, most of them i have never heard of seeing before, but i'm sure most of them will be a killer addition to the collection..... cheers and be well
Thanks! I had no idea i was going to find such a large unpicked stash!!! I haven't listened to Johnny Ukulele yet. I just thought it looked pretty cool...blind buy! I usually pass on Hawaiian records...I've got maybe a couple dozen (way more than i need 🤣) ....but Exotica records...I want every one of them!
I love watching your weekly videos so I can yell at the screen as if you can hear me. It's fun. Fever And Smoke by The Three Suns is considered their finest album by many. It is definitely Ping Pongy Space-Age Pop and is worth grabbing if you ever see it. You found some incredible finds Tuce, but you left a few behind as well IMO. I am wondering in the 45's were as good as the LPs. Take care...
Oh, I can hear you yelling at he screen!!! 🤣😂🤣 I forgot about Fever & Smoke! I've got that one too! That's actually a pretty good one! Someone said their Christmas album is good too! I can't remember if I looked at the 45s there...i don't think i did because i know i was already there much longer than my 30 minute break! 🤣
You missed the twiggy beautiful dreams lp. Can go for decent money for a nice condition one. That one looked like a radio station promo. Nice hit’s mate
I'd heard the name Twiggy, but was unfamiliar with her. I just listened to some on youtube though and i dug it! Hopefully i make it back there soon...and hopefully it's still there.
Yeah there were some gems there!!! I was thrilled to find Primitiva! That one has eluded me for years! It's hard for me to find (in the wild) exotica records that i don't already have... I've probably got about 500 exotica and space age records!
Interesting! I've got a fairly recent reissue of Alice Cooper Easy Action, but the recording is actually Alice Cooper Killer....so, whenever i want to listen to Killer, i just pull out my copy of Easy Action!
Nice Haul. There is a lot of controversy around the Sam Cooke killing. Most believe it was a set up and he was murdered. He was with the woman all night partying then when the got to the hotel she stole his clothes and he claimed she had robbed him when he went to tell the manager to call the police she shot him claiming he was threatening her. He had some great music however. Not familiar with a lot of what you got only because I am not a huge Jazz fan some is ok and I have been experimenting with some lately. However with that being said Bert Kemfort is one I can not stand I was given a collection from my aunt in the mid 90's and she wanted me to record the 2 Bert Kemfort albums onto a cassette for her but then I got to keep all the albums that was sent. I suffered through them one time to record them then gave them away very quickly LOL. Most of the rest of her collection was great mostly Country and I kept all of that
What a jackpot Tuco! Good thing your co-worker called out sick! When I heard the woman said they were from New York, I lost my breath for a moment. Gulp! - the Primativa LP. You’re so right, this is what thrifting is all about- the owner brings a chair and $1 LPs. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Quite a haul! That's what makes all the time spent digging worth it -- especially at a dollar a piece. Sassy was Sarah Vaughan. Silvertone was the Sears house brand. I still have my Grandmother's Silvertone victrola, originally from the 1920s. I enjoy Eartha Kitt -- she had the most unique voice. Too bad you passed on her record early in the video.
I've got about 20 old Chinese checkers boards. I used to have a bunch of them hanging on the wall at my old house. They rarely have their marbles with them, but i have found a few with their marbles.
Compulsive. Am having a catch up on quite alot of your videos today. I'm glad the lady stopped talking and went away giving you proper 100% concentration. I got that Yma Sumac in London this year for a decent price (£5 ish) and the miracles much later one she tried to ban this year too. I try to go to same places at least once a week but it's just not possible to go more frequently. I probably miss out on alot as I know there are other scavengers out there.
I've got Yma Sumac Miracles too! Different...but i still enjoy it! I'm fortunate in that I'm already driving around to all these places for work, so i get to thrift nearly every day!
2:08 just noticed that copy of Nightmare, the VHS board game. Shocked you didn't grab it! Well, maybe you did, I haven't watched the whole video yet, but yeah that''s a must have.
Bit of a late comer on this one but even if i have it and I'm financial, ill grab them dollar babys cause ill move them to other vinyl lovers that dont have the privilege to get to these obscure locations. Them dollar records make mine free....
Great finds tuco You remind me of me your tastes are all over the place you collect lots of different things. You go to alot of same record stores ive been to before. I live in iowa now but used to live in omaha and have a lot of family there im only 22 but have the knowledge and tastes of like a 52 yr old. 😂😂
And a Three Suns album I like is "A Ding Dong Merry Christmas" , Living Stereo or mono , RCA Victor, made in 1959. It has been reissued on CD a few years ago by Real Gone Records.
Nice haul! I gotta say I would've grabbed that Amy Grant Christmas album @ 5:11 if it were in good condition. That is one of her more sought after albums even if She isn't super popular. That's a bit of nostalgia for me. 😊
I've got a handful of Christmas albums...I'm not really into Christmas music...There's ONE I'm still looking for: Ferrente and Teicher-Adventures In Carols!...It'll be a very happy day when I find that!!!
Pet peeves: records on the floor, where prices aren't shown, dirty records, records squashed into boxes, boxes under shelves that you have to pull out.
Yeah, these boxes were a pain in the ass! They HAD to be pulled out. They were way too big. They were way too flimsy! But, the great finds made it all worth it!
36:44 So many amazing records, Tuco, and I think you'll get a kick out of Arthur Lyman's 'Hawaiian Sunset', particularly track 1, 'Hawaiian War Chant', which starts off pleasantly enough, but then has some wonderfully menacing dark piano overtones which makes me think of a spy movie or James Bond movie with Bond visiting some exotic place (including Hawaii) while he's being followed by some tough goons. It's a really fun piece that sets itself apart from the rest of the album, but all of the tracks are great. :)
After reading your description, i literally stopped everything, ran downstairs and put the record on!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Yes!!! The percussion break...then the menacing piano comes in!!! Wow! Great version of that song!!!
@@VinylHunter Haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely my favourite version of 'Hawaiian War Chant' and one of Arthur Lyman's best performances. I also love his 'Taboo Vol. 2' album which has a cool image on the cover of two shrunken heads. The track 'Taboo Tu' is clearly inspired by 'Quiet Village' but it also has a nice mysterious quality to it as well as great percussion and exotic bird calls. :)
DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 I thought i missed a Bruce Haack album at this dig!!! 🤣😂🤣 Yes!!! Love Electric Lucifer! I actually had to order that one off discogs! All of the records that are shown in my intros (there are 4 different versions of the intro) are all records i actually have in my collection.
@@VinylHunter ooh haha, no you didn't miss any 😉. That's cool, i'm also trying to get one but the shipping but mostly the extra import fees from the US are kinda high for me. Maby just maby i find it. Got Book II from Bruce Haack at a thrift store so i just need to keep looking. Grest score on that Charles Mingus record, sells for some good money!
I found a Bruce Haack children's album at a thrift store! I think it was in my very first "Thrift With Me" video! Other than my two records...I've never seen another Bruce Haack album in person!
How much are the records? They're $1.00 each and nobody's around to bug you. Now this is CRATE DIGGING AT IT'S BEST. This mostly happens to me if the records are worthless. Only TUCO finds them out in the wild. NO ONE MESSES WITH TUCO!!! WHAAA, WHAAAAAWAAAA. Thanks for sharing and ☮️.
Hahaha!!!! Actually, at first the lady was constantly hanging around talking to me. Luckily, someone else came in and she started talking to them instead.... mean, if i wasn't trying to film and (secretly) make a youtube video, I wouldn't mind if she hung out talking to me...but...i don't want her to know I'm filming...i don't want to have to answer questions about why I'm filming...i wanna do it on the down low... and i want to talk to you guys, not her!
By the way... finding records in the wild "happens" for me, because i MAKE IT HAPPEN! There's tricks to improve your chances of finding records in the wild!!! That's why I'm always telling the viewers my tricks!...One of the most important tricks is to look for records in places where most people don't think to look!!! That's what i did here, and it paid off big!!!
@@VinylHunter Actually my correction on how much are the records? They're $1.00 each. How much??? 50 cents. HOW MUCH??? HMMMM...25 CENTS EACH. NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!
🤣😂🤣😂 Every once in a while!!! If it seems like it "happens" for me more than it does for other people, that's because I MAKE IT HAPPEN! There's tricks i use (and i always try to share my tricks with the viewers)...one of the main tricks is that you've got to look for records in places where other people don't think to look! It paid off this time! Also, i have an unfair advantage where I'm already driving around to all these remote places for my job!...but, if you happen to be on a road trip, try to stop at some of these remote places...you may have better luck!
The Three Suns do suck. Live concert footage of the group makes for mildly amusing cringe viewing. The accordion player could get a little carried away when the playing got hot. Nice finds. Those Cal Tjader records are beauties.
Ha! I had to stop what i was doing and go watch some Three Suns live. Very cringey!!! I LOVE their song Danny's Inferno! I was hoping to find more like that, but, no such luck!
Very early TUCO this week - Roll it! ...Lotsa nice jazz LPs there, I'm glad that the conditions were good because condition is everything! ...I do have that Bud Shank "California Dreaming" album you passed up - it's a very good album! ...As usual, a few of what you picked (as well as left there) had me scratching my head. I had to laugh when you for some reason pulled the Ezio Pinza - and I cannot figure out for the life of me why you call that harp music LP "space age" - my grandmother listened to that old-time harp music waaay back when I was a teenager and it had me fleeing the house! You sure are entertaining though! ...Excellent haul this time! ...Now I gotta get back to the 1,200 45s I bought (and traded for) from another collector last week - that's what had me up early this cold Sunday in Harrisburg, Pa.!
Yeah, i picked up one Bud Shank record...total blind buy! I guess the other one just didn't really catch my eye. I really don't know much about jazz. I'll give him a listen and if I dig it... I've been going in that area again recently for work, so i can probably stop back by there and dig through those records again!
Btw, i totally stand by calling Robert Maxwell "space age"...Space age is an "era" and a recording technique from that era. Using the then new hi-fi recording methods. Ultra modern sounding for the time. I think his album Harp In Hi-Fi is much better though...much more of the stereotypical space age sound.
@@VinylHunter I’m a little bit spoiled in that I have an income that affords me to spend or not. I bought some great jazz some worth several 100’s at $10 a pop. The $1 are what gets my juices up. Enjoy your videos. I guess I’m too lazy to do videos myself. Might change my mind since I am basically retired now
"Finding" records is what gets me excited! Finding them in the wild!!! Of course you EXPECT to find records at a record shop...but when you find a great record at a thrift store, antique store, garage sale, etc...THAT'S very exciting!!!!
Only TUCO can find boxes of jazz and belly dancing rekkids in a Nebraska field.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Literally in a field!!!! Super small town!!!
Tuco the man. He sniff vinyl like the DEA pups sniff coke lol.
Woah what a find, congrats ! Incredible jazz records !
Thank you! That was a lucky goldmine i stumbled upon!
Awesome Jazz finds, Mingus, Brubeck, Jamal, etc. Great score! You've got a lot of listening to do. Not sure how long ago this happened, so you've probably listened to it all by now.

@@VinylHunter Good luck with that 😂
I seem to keep getting further in the hole!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
This is the kind of albums you find in the uk but nobody seems to want them😢
I have watched a few of the videos posted and the key point for me in buying vinyl is the condition of the sleeve and vinyl- the majority that you shared are rather rough for my taste - Happy digging though!
Arthur Lymans etc were a good find, quite rare.
Спасибо за видео. Все очень интересно.👍🙂
Thank you!
That was amazing. The Jazz albums OMG. As we say in western PA you dun good.
Thanks Tony!!! Yep! You get lucky every once in a while!!!
"They dress like pinatas..." Ha Ha Ha... you made my day, good finds.
that's friggin cool,i'm like a kid in a candy store,when i find that much records to go through!
Yeah!!! It's great when there's that many...and there's good records in there!!! It sucks when there's no good records!!! But even when the records suck, i still have to look at every single one, because you never know!!!

Hopefully I'll get back there again soon!!! I think there's more i could have got.
@@VinylHunter That jazz organist Jimmy McGriff Xmas LP you passed by comes to mind. Maybe you already have it. It's quite groovy.
Nope. I was not familiar with him. If its still there next time i make it in there I'll snatch it up!
What a haul Tuco. Who knew you would find a Ahmad Jamal honey hole in Monroe. I would have scooped those up in a heartbeat. Amazing pianist. Cheers buddy.
...and what a coincidence that he's got a couple coming out on Record Store Day!
What a haul Bro ! Man, I have very similar taste , we don't get to choose the records in the wild, so we know how to appreciate all kinds of interesting genres ! I picked a real good Herb Alpert LP today " Sumnertime".. and a Lena Horne and Belafonte " Porgy And Bess ! Also a minty Mancini !!

Have a wonderful one
...I thought that you were gonna put that Mingus back! Lol
PS: if you ever work that route again: that George Shearing is killer! Sabicas is good too
Oh man you are killing it with the jazz and exotica scores Tuco! Thumbs way up! Trish
Thanks Trish! I've REALLY been on a roll with jazz!!!
SPOILER ALERT: More Jazz Next Week!!!
I hadn't been to that shed in Monroe in a long time. I only found The Electric Prunes "Underground" there the time I went.
Someone already got all the good psyche records before i got there! 🤣😂🤣
I just recently started going by there again, so I'm due for another visit!
Amazing the luck you have out there hunt some of these I don't know how I missed this one before period Wow. What a haul!
Nice haul. that looked like a clean copy of Primitiva. Happy Spinning.
Thank you! Yes, nice copy of Primitiva! So glad to finally have that in my exotica album!
Wow, it's nice to go looking when there is actually something to look at. I always get nervous when I run into a good pile of records like that and think someone is going to start looking in front of me. It has happened and I miss out on some good records.The lady clerk in the store talked the entire time, never ran out of words. I have a lot of Mingus but not that one.

Big stack Tuco, some cool finds ✊🏼
Thanks Bob! There were some blind buys that didn't pan out (but some did!) and lots of crazy good finds there!
Damn lucky man… My kinda thrifting, love those little vinted hunts 👌🏼🎶
Great Freakin Haul TUCO, thanks for showing us it can still be done in the wild, Peace Bro!
Thanks Mike! Every once in a while!....and you never know when or where!!! Leave no stone unturned! Look anywhere and everywhere you think might have records!
cool finds, I just bought 4 boxes of lps at the auction, I went through them and made one box & left the rest, hopefully get a video up in a couple days
I used to have an antique store... I'd go to auctions twice a week! I haven't been to one in a couple years! I love auctions and should really get out to more!
That Jo Ann Castle " Tiger Rag" must have the coolest album cover ever.
Whoa totally jealous of that Milt Jackson find. Charles Mingus too!
Hi Tuco!! that was one hell of a mega haul find..... guess been consistent and keep diggin' sometimes gets rewarded!!! so many records, most of them in very good condition, both jackets and vinyl too, most of them i have never heard of seeing before, but i'm sure most of them will be a killer addition to the collection..... cheers and be well
Thanks! I'm hoping to get back there again soon! There's more i should have grabbed...plus, they may have got more since i was last there!
Killer haul Tuco, I never see exotica at my thrifts.
EVERYTHING is slim pickin's in the city...I do much better in the sticks!
Some great scores. I don't remember colored vinyl back in the day.
Yeah, definitely not like it is today!
Fantasy records had blue for stereo and red for mono back in the day.
@@vinnieoskokie wow! Very cool!!!
Nice Haul! I like those Latin Jazz albums. I had to look up Johnny Ukulele but now I'll be looking for it too.
Thanks! I had no idea i was going to find such a large unpicked stash!!!
I haven't listened to Johnny Ukulele yet. I just thought it looked pretty cool...blind buy! I usually pass on Hawaiian records...I've got maybe a couple dozen (way more than i need 🤣)
....but Exotica records...I want every one of them!
The Valerie Carter album is a great soft rock album from the 70s
Tuco went to record digging too far south in Mexico and disappeared. He was last seen in a Tijuana thrift store called El Loco’s

Oh, I can hear you yelling at he screen!!! 🤣😂🤣 I forgot about Fever & Smoke! I've got that one too! That's actually a pretty good one! Someone said their Christmas album is good too!
I can't remember if I looked at the 45s there...i don't think i did because i know i was already there much longer than my 30 minute break! 🤣
@@VinylHunter Yeah, the Christmas LP is pretty good if you like Christmas LP's. Many folks don't.
Also what looked like a real early Henri Mancini with the painted Capitol cover
You missed the twiggy beautiful dreams lp. Can go for decent money for a nice condition one. That one looked like a radio station promo. Nice hit’s mate
I'd heard the name Twiggy, but was unfamiliar with her. I just listened to some on youtube though and i dug it! Hopefully i make it back there soon...and hopefully it's still there.
Dude, that haul must've most if not all come from that guys penthouse pad in New York. Fucking killer
I wouldn't doubt it!
What a collection of exotica!
Yeah there were some gems there!!! I was thrilled to find Primitiva! That one has eluded me for years! It's hard for me to find (in the wild) exotica records that i don't already have... I've probably got about 500 exotica and space age records!
I liked that Dances of Port Said album.
I have a copy of Listen to the Ahmad Jamal Quintet, but it's a misprint; the actual recording is Don Goldie's Trumpet Caliente.
Interesting! I've got a fairly recent reissue of Alice Cooper Easy Action, but the recording is actually Alice Cooper Killer....so, whenever i want to listen to Killer, i just pull out my copy of Easy Action!
Nice Haul. There is a lot of controversy around the Sam Cooke killing. Most believe it was a set up and he was murdered. He was with the woman all night partying then when the got to the hotel she stole his clothes and he claimed she had robbed him when he went to tell the manager to call the police she shot him claiming he was threatening her. He had some great music however. Not familiar with a lot of what you got only because I am not a huge Jazz fan some is ok and I have been experimenting with some lately. However with that being said Bert Kemfort is one I can not stand I was given a collection from my aunt in the mid 90's and she wanted me to record the 2 Bert Kemfort albums onto a cassette for her but then I got to keep all the albums that was sent. I suffered through them one time to record them then gave them away very quickly LOL. Most of the rest of her collection was great mostly Country and I kept all of that
I LOVE Kaempfert's version of Caravan...based on that, i keep picking up his records in hopes of finding more as good as Caravan....still no luck.
I find it interesting the records you buy. Cool choices.
Thank you! I just pick what i like...or what i think i might like.
What a jackpot Tuco! Good thing your co-worker called out sick! When I heard the woman said they were from New York, I lost my breath for a moment. Gulp! - the Primativa LP. You’re so right, this is what thrifting is all about- the owner brings a chair and $1 LPs. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Lately, my work has been sending me back in that area every once in a while...I'm gonna try to get back in there!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!! 🦃
Holy Shit,that is alot of Jazz music!!!
It was crazy!!! Probably more there i should have grabbed!?!?
New sub here! Stoked on your channel!! Love watching people dig!!
Fantastic haul. Found a Mingus Clown OP in vg++ at the Goodwill myself. Gotta look to find.
Wow! Killer score!!!
Quite a haul! That's what makes all the time spent digging worth it -- especially at a dollar a piece. Sassy was Sarah Vaughan. Silvertone was the Sears house brand. I still have my Grandmother's Silvertone victrola, originally from the 1920s.
I enjoy Eartha Kitt -- she had the most unique voice. Too bad you passed on her record early in the video.
Ahhh, related to Silvertone guitars then too!
27:52 Extreme Close-up of Tuco's award winning beard! 🏆
When we were texting earlier tonight, i was literally in the process of editing out my crotch!...a few minutes of my crotch!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
🤣 😂 😆
So.... where are the marbles to the Chinese Checkers board on the wall?
Are they the colored ones??
I've got about 20 old Chinese checkers boards. I used to have a bunch of them hanging on the wall at my old house. They rarely have their marbles with them, but i have found a few with their marbles.
Was the condition of the records any good?
Yeah, most of them were in great condition!
Compulsive. Am having a catch up on quite alot of your videos today. I'm glad the lady stopped talking and went away giving you proper 100% concentration. I got that Yma Sumac in London this year for a decent price (£5 ish) and the miracles much later one she tried to ban this year too. I try to go to same places at least once a week but it's just not possible to go more frequently. I probably miss out on alot as I know there are other scavengers out there.
I've got Yma Sumac Miracles too! Different...but i still enjoy it!
I'm fortunate in that I'm already driving around to all these places for work, so i get to thrift nearly every day!
Had to look up where Monroe is. I also saw myself at your garage sale. I am famous now. :-)
Yeah! You were talking in it too, but i had to edit out the audio because the music playing in the background gave me a copyright claim.
2:08 just noticed that copy of Nightmare, the VHS board game. Shocked you didn't grab it! Well, maybe you did, I haven't watched the whole video yet, but yeah that''s a must have.
Dude, you should've grabbed that Roy Smeck record in the Hawaiian box. Great stuff. Look him up.
I must not have noticed! I've got one of his records, The Haunting Hawaiian Guitar! It's great!
There was a Yazoo comp of his stuff from the 20s and 30s remastered 78s that got me hooked. He was truly a stringed instrument master.
Yeah Sumac "Bingo" 😂 AMEN
Bit of a late comer on this one but even if i have it and I'm financial, ill grab them dollar babys cause ill move them to other vinyl lovers that dont have the privilege to get to these obscure locations. Them dollar records make mine free....
The gold is yours. The silver and bronze make the gold free
That's a very young Swedish actress (and 'Bond Girl') Maud Adams on the cover that Percy Faith album at 23:11.
Great finds tuco You remind me of me your tastes are all over the place you collect lots of different things. You go to alot of same record stores ive been to before. I live in iowa now but used to live in omaha and have a lot of family there im only 22 but have the knowledge and tastes of like a 52 yr old. 😂😂
Yeah i get bored with listening to the same things over and over, so I'm always looking in new directions for music!
Cool stuff. That 78 is awesome
Yeah, i wish it wasn't broken...but i don't plan on playing it anyway...i just got it for the cool label and because it's over 100 years old!
@@VinylHunter i have a broken Otis Rush on Cobra. Love the label and Otis. More like a painting.
And a Three Suns album I like is "A Ding Dong Merry Christmas" , Living Stereo or mono , RCA Victor, made in 1959. It has been reissued on CD a few years ago by Real Gone Records.
I'll definitely keep my eye out for that!!!
YeS! Just going to suggest that one. Doesn’t disappoint.
That first record in that case with the completely blue cover looks to me "Real To Real Cacophony" of the Simple Minds!
Yeah, i didn't look it over...i just assumed it was the Michael Jackson ET record without the box (which is how i usually find it!)
DAMN TUCO!
🤣😂🤣😂
I would check out some thrift stores in NE on my next trip back home but it would appear you got all the good records already
🤣😂🤣😂 Picked clean to the bone!!!! I left you plenty of Montovani and Perry Como records though!
Nice haul! I gotta say I would've grabbed that Amy Grant Christmas album @ 5:11 if it were in good condition. That is one of her more sought after albums even if She isn't super popular. That's a bit of nostalgia for me. 😊
Thank you for the advice my man ! Cheers
Always hit thrift stores when I can
I'm addicted to thrifting! 🤣😂🤣
Your buddy Nick is an awesome drummer too!
Yeah he's a badass!
@@VinylHunter Does he not like people coming up to him complementing him on his drumming?
@@VinylHunter Is he still playing?
Yusef and Mingus! In a dollar bin?! Some good finds
I've been unbelievably lucky with jazz finds recently!!!
if i'm not mistaken tuco,your'e more of a hard rock kind of guy,but boy i see some jazz album i would have grabbed for myself,DAMN!!
Yeah, i don't know much about jazz, so I'm sure i probably missed some gems!
With regards to the Man with the Golden Arm, the White Stripes used the same artwork for their single sleeve ‘the hardest button to button.
Cool! Yeah, they used it too! That's not the one that i saw someone else show, though.
if you are willing to add xmas albums to your collection, that Christmas With McGriff is one to have.
I've got a handful of Christmas albums...I'm not really into Christmas music...There's ONE I'm still looking for: Ferrente and Teicher-Adventures In Carols!...It'll be a very happy day when I find that!!!
Chico Hamilton and Shelley Manne,i want those!
Yeah! I already had Chico's Gongs East...but Shelly Manne was totally new to me!
Pet peeves: records on the floor, where prices aren't shown, dirty records, records squashed into boxes, boxes under shelves that you have to pull out.
Yeah, these boxes were a pain in the ass! They HAD to be pulled out. They were way too big. They were way too flimsy! But, the great finds made it all worth it!
Great stack of records there and at bargain prices! I've been out today at charity shops in south London but sadly... nothing to report.☹
You've just got to be at the right place at the right time!
36:44 So many amazing records, Tuco, and I think you'll get a kick out of Arthur Lyman's 'Hawaiian Sunset', particularly track 1, 'Hawaiian War Chant', which starts off pleasantly enough, but then has some wonderfully menacing dark piano overtones which makes me think of a spy movie or James Bond movie with Bond visiting some exotic place (including Hawaii) while he's being followed by some tough goons. It's a really fun piece that sets itself apart from the rest of the album, but all of the tracks are great. :)
After reading your description, i literally stopped everything, ran downstairs and put the record on!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Yes!!! The percussion break...then the menacing piano comes in!!! Wow! Great version of that song!!!
@@VinylHunter Haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's definitely my favourite version of 'Hawaiian War Chant' and one of Arthur Lyman's best performances.
I also love his 'Taboo Vol. 2' album which has a cool image on the cover of two shrunken heads. The track 'Taboo Tu' is clearly inspired by 'Quiet Village' but it also has a nice mysterious quality to it as well as great percussion and exotic bird calls. :)
Tabboo II is perhaps my favorite album cover! I've got the vinyl and I've got a reel to reel tape!
Hawaii sells, I would have bought all of em
Do you still have that JBL Record?
The sav-a-disc, my guess, was for when changers were popular, and records did not have the 'gruv guard' edge.
Ahhh! To give that little bit of extra space between the records!
It helped protect the vinyl...but it destroyed the label! 😂
0:06 that Bruce Haack album is great! still searching for it.
DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 I thought i missed a Bruce Haack album at this dig!!! 🤣😂🤣
Yes!!! Love Electric Lucifer! I actually had to order that one off discogs! All of the records that are shown in my intros (there are 4 different versions of the intro) are all records i actually have in my collection.
@@VinylHunter ooh haha, no you didn't miss any 😉. That's cool, i'm also trying to get one but the shipping but mostly the extra import fees from the US are kinda high for me. Maby just maby i find it. Got Book II from Bruce Haack at a thrift store so i just need to keep looking. Grest score on that Charles Mingus record, sells for some good money!
I found a Bruce Haack children's album at a thrift store! I think it was in my very first "Thrift With Me" video! Other than my two records...I've never seen another Bruce Haack album in person!
Look into Mezz. He's got a hell of a story.
Smiley smile cover for a buck which is really like a quarter
How much are the records? They're $1.00 each and nobody's around to bug you. Now this is CRATE DIGGING AT IT'S BEST. This mostly happens to me if the records are worthless. Only TUCO finds them out in the wild. NO ONE MESSES WITH TUCO!!! WHAAA, WHAAAAAWAAAA. Thanks for sharing and ☮️.
Hahaha!!!! Actually, at first the lady was constantly hanging around talking to me. Luckily, someone else came in and she started talking to them instead.... mean, if i wasn't trying to film and (secretly) make a youtube video, I wouldn't mind if she hung out talking to me...but...i don't want her to know I'm filming...i don't want to have to answer questions about why I'm filming...i wanna do it on the down low... and i want to talk to you guys, not her!
By the way... finding records in the wild "happens" for me, because i MAKE IT HAPPEN! There's tricks to improve your chances of finding records in the wild!!! That's why I'm always telling the viewers my tricks!...One of the most important tricks is to look for records in places where most people don't think to look!!! That's what i did here, and it paid off big!!!
@@VinylHunter Actually my correction on how much are the records? They're $1.00 each. How much??? 50 cents.
HOW MUCH??? HMMMM...25 CENTS EACH. NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!
The Good The Bad and The Ugly quote! 👍
I bet Kaiwaza is foaming at the mouth wishing he was there!
Yeah i bet there was a lot there he would have got!!!
I have that gerry mulligan album!!
I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. Luckily i was able to recognize that it was probably a pretty good jazz album!
$1 EACH! Hit a little honey hole.
This is just not fair! 😂
🤣😂🤣😂 Every once in a while!!! If it seems like it "happens" for me more than it does for other people, that's because I MAKE IT HAPPEN! There's tricks i use (and i always try to share my tricks with the viewers)...one of the main tricks is that you've got to look for records in places where other people don't think to look! It paid off this time! Also, i have an unfair advantage where I'm already driving around to all these remote places for my job!...but, if you happen to be on a road trip, try to stop at some of these remote places...you may have better luck!
The Three Suns do suck. Live concert footage of the group makes for mildly amusing cringe viewing. The accordion player could get a little carried away when the playing got hot.
Nice finds. Those Cal Tjader records are beauties.
Ha! I had to stop what i was doing and go watch some Three Suns live. Very cringey!!!
I LOVE their song Danny's Inferno! I was hoping to find more like that, but, no such luck!
You didn't grab that Amad Jamal at the Penthouse?
Was that the $5 record that i put back?
Very early TUCO this week - Roll it! ...Lotsa nice jazz LPs there, I'm glad that the conditions were good because condition is everything! ...I do have that Bud Shank "California Dreaming" album you passed up - it's a very good album! ...As usual, a few of what you picked (as well as left there) had me scratching my head. I had to laugh when you for some reason pulled the Ezio Pinza - and I cannot figure out for the life of me why you call that harp music LP "space age" - my grandmother listened to that old-time harp music waaay back when I was a teenager and it had me fleeing the house! You sure are entertaining though! ...Excellent haul this time! ...Now I gotta get back to the 1,200 45s I bought (and traded for) from another collector last week - that's what had me up early this cold Sunday in Harrisburg, Pa.!
Yeah, i picked up one Bud Shank record...total blind buy! I guess the other one just didn't really catch my eye. I really don't know much about jazz. I'll give him a listen and if I dig it... I've been going in that area again recently for work, so i can probably stop back by there and dig through those records again!
Ezio Pinza, blind buy!!! i thought it might have been jazz...that didn't pan out! 🤣😂🤣
Btw, i totally stand by calling Robert Maxwell "space age"...Space age is an "era" and a recording technique from that era. Using the then new hi-fi recording methods. Ultra modern sounding for the time. I think his album Harp In Hi-Fi is much better though...much more of the stereotypical space age sound.
Hope you find some good 45s! Let me know!
@@VinylHunter lol!
Dr Zhivago!
Drink!
Sassy: Sarah Vaughn
Had to go change my underwear and not even halfway through your video
I went through three pairs on this haul!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
@@VinylHunter I’m a little bit spoiled in that I have an income that affords me to spend or not. I bought some great jazz some worth several 100’s at $10 a pop. The $1 are what gets my juices up. Enjoy your videos. I guess I’m too lazy to do videos myself. Might change my mind since I am basically retired now
"Finding" records is what gets me excited! Finding them in the wild!!! Of course you EXPECT to find records at a record shop...but when you find a great record at a thrift store, antique store, garage sale, etc...THAT'S very exciting!!!!
@@VinylHunter yep. Some of my biggest buys have been at garage sales
Don't believe it. Everbody is looking for suches records and he finds them!!!!!!
