The Smith record means a lot to me.. My 1st rock concert after Elvis at the International ! Baby It's You is a terrific song, and in 1970, there were so many great songs on the radio, but when this song came on, it was really something ! I could have dug deeper, but I was having too much fun, and did pretty well with my bounty this time around.. Thanks Brian
Awesome finds as always. Bill's Garage has a seemingly endless supply of vinyl. Some really cool covers you went through. The Ventures are excellent. Enjoy JT.
You know I have a lot of records.. Haha. Jum doesn't think it's funny, but she lets me do my thing. I like the Arlo album an awful lot, and Billy Squier, his old band Piper, is excellent !
Wow ! Robbie, that carries some weight with me, I'll keep going and I think pacing is important, and I just like showing where I'm going to get records. Thank you
The fires weren't as bad as it look to be, and Slide Mountain and Mt. Rose ski areas weren't scared. A firefighter told me it was in a deep and steep canyon. I would have loved to see Steve Winwood on tour back in 2016 ! That live greatest hits double album with the green cover is incredibly great !
Hey JT. Great video! You passed so many albums I'm looking for at Bills, it made me wish I lived closer to his place. 🙂 Love those Group Called Smith albums. I have an OG of that Piper album and it's good. Ruby Starr, yes! Nice snag on the Arlo, Nancy & Mason Profit. Just fantastic pickups all around. Now that's a great day. Cheers
Funny that you say what I missed.. I know ! Haha ☺and I'm goin' back to pick up a few more, for sure ! We definitely have very similar taste, and some of the records.. The condish wasn't very good. All of the ones I pick up though are nice ! Thank you, Bobby
I know ! Isn't this a great find !! It's still sealed as I have been streaming it to enjoy, from time to time. Don't know when I'm gonna bust it out as I have a lot to listen to. Such an underrated band, and I think Billy Squier's best era. Thanks, Scott
Great digging once again JT , some terrific titles to check out . I never knew the Joe South / Dylan connection . Thanks for the heads up . I notice the Radio Birdman on your shelf. They just finished an Australian tour in July . Sensational band that influenced so many . I sadly missed out due to a prior commitment . Cheers once again and thank you 😎👌🇦🇺
Alright, Craig .. I think you guys are getting ready for your holiday coming up. It had been a while since I called Bill up to come over, and somehow .. It never disappoints ! I framed my Hoodoo Gurus debut record as well for this video. I have been listening to Television Addict by The Victims, lately.. Thanks again !
Another great visit as always. Hey Jt! I picked up a copy of Gene Clark's "Two Sides To Every Story" today. This is a 2013 re-issue on High Moon Records. About to listen for the first time right now!
Sister Moon is such a beautiful song, one of my favorite from Gene. Silent Crusade and Past Addresses, and Kansas City Southern are excellent as well ! On the cover, that is Kai's toy spinning top on the picinic bench in front of their home outside of Mendocino, Ca. Comptche , actually. Enjoy Sister Moon Randy, and thanks for checking this one out as well ✌️
I wish for you to find a good copy of Absolutely Free. What a brilliant album.. Edgar Varese and Stravinsky influenced, a bit anyway ! Frank was the man, and he knew it ! haha
Great video JT I always enjoy the digs at Bill's. I've seen that first Smith album shown a lot over the years I must seek it out for a listen. One of my favourite Nancy Sinatra albums there too.
Hello Dale ! Really, the track Baby It's You is the highlight of the 1st Smith album.. They were my first rock concert before Elton John on his 2nd? US tour. Bill Bill Bill ! Haha😆 I'm goin' back for some sunshine pop !
Always like seeing your trips to Bill's garage. I actually have a Mark Almond Band record in my garage in a box of records that I acquired at an auction. I guess that I need to pull it out and listen. Arlo Guthrie did make some fine albums with my favorite being Amigo. I only have a Joe South compilation but I should pick up some of his studio albums. Always nice to see Nancy.
If it's Mark-Almond 73.. It has What Am I Living For on it. Yeah Randy.. I'm into those Arlo albums, lately. It is crazy how the records are still good here and there digging through Bill's
Hey JT! Great dig my friend. There was loads of great albums in there. I really like that Herbie Mann Push It album you flipped past… first class flute! Plus the album cover is extremely special. Smith albums albums are cool. Terry Knight looks interesting too. Cheers, Jack
You're right.. Herbie Mann "Push" is a good record ! I think I have it, if not.. I will go back and have a look at the condish on that copy. I think you will like Terry Knight And The Pack. They only put out 2 records. Thanks, Jack
I do have the 1st Terry Knight as well. I've been listening to a lot of punk rock this week, again. Bad Religion, No Control, Suffer.. And the sell-out Stranger Than Fiction. Brett wrote some good ones on that album !
I really enjoy watching you find these amazing albums. The vinyl gods are definitely rewarding you. Your enthusiasm and joy is such a pleasure to see, as you explain things. Grand Funk Railroad...and then two members decided to screw the third one. What a disgusting act they pulled off. Anyway many thanks for sharing JT.
What a shame. The infighting was with them from the Terry Knight and The Pack days, I feel. I'm on Mark's side of things these days. Don should just get over it and play.. Their window is closing rapidly. Thank you Walter, always
Luckily , the firefighters got them in control. I believe you would like Electric Frankenstien ' Sick Songs' Mike .. The opener is excellent ! Thank you
Wow, some really good stuff, a lot of stuff I'd have taken a chance on checking out too, if the price was right. A sealed Piper, very nice. I bought both of their albums years ago. I do think Billy's solo stuff is a big leap forward. That Ronnie Laws record you mentioned in flipping, was one I blindly took a chance on for $2 at Goodwill mainly do to some of the musicians that appeared - great stuff. I think I have heard the name Mason Proffit, but for sure did not know the Talbot brothers were involved. I will be on the look out. I see that Rocket's album around a lot but have no knowledge; you inspire me to check that out.
Howdy Jeff ! Yeah.. the price was right, on this bundle, I paid a little under 4.00 USD each for these records. If you like country rock, you will like Mason Proffit.. Also folk tinged. They have some very nice songs throughout their catalog. They're from Indiana, originally Thanks !
That's right.. It was you ! I have a dbl. LP Steve Goodman ( tan cover ) that I like a lot. My favorite Mark-Almond is the black jacket w/ the bird/ man Erte looking cover. Best version of What Am I Living For !
Harry, I got a very good deal on it as I bundled it with all the other finds. It plays nicely, and when listening, I forgot about the pure genius of that record !
Yeah.. I love that song ! When I was 13, it was my favorite on the radio, and there were so many good songs going around in 1970. They came to town, and I saw Smith as an opening band at the tail end of '70. My first real rock concert after Elvis at the International in '69. See you, Shaun
A lot of great economy jazz titles. Just in time for Halloween! 🎃 I never pass on clean Nancy record. 👏🏽👏🏽 The Ventures are such a great listen. Good stuff over there at Bill’s!
Hey there, Steve. When I make these dig video's.. It makes me want to go back for other stuff i missed ! Haha. I listened to The Sunshine Company, their debut from 1967. There are some very strong songs on that record, and it is dirt cheap ! I'm goin' back 😉
@@jtsrecordroom3963 Lol 😆 that’s what we do! 👍🏽👍🏽 If you like the late great Ben Webster then pick up that Flip Phillips Record A Melody From The Sky on Flying Dutchman. It’s a beautiful record, if it’s NM of course. Enjoy, Buddy!
Electric Frankenstein! Saw them once or twice, or maybe three times at the Court Tavern back home in NJ! How cool you found their EP in Bill's Garage! I might still have that EP or maybe not. Need to get it back, ah aha. JT
Interesting and I thought he was from Mass ! I know Piper was based out of NYC when they got going. Very cool that you have that connection with Piper !
Gotta love that Bill's garage! The Smith cover of 'Baby It's You' is up there for me - I love how they slow it down yet 'funk it up' at the same time, if that makes any sense! Ruby Starr - new to me. I have no Arlo, and should explore some of that catalog. Joe South I am always looking for when out and about. He also wrote 'Rose Garden', right? Nancy Sinatra knew how to rock a body length cable knit sweater - they should bring those back! Great stuff all around, and that Zappa release seems to be one of the harder ones to come by - nice! 😎
Absolutely Free is a hard one to come by ! Its a VG to VG+.. Those old Verve records are very sturdy and they generally play well, as does this copy. Hobos Lullaby is a good Arlo Guthrie to find, and yes Joe South did write Rose garden with Lynn Anderson making it a huge hit ! And true.. Nancy knew how to rock just about anything ! Ruby Starr was new to me as well, except her duet with Jim Dandy in Black Oak Arkansas. Thanks a lot for checking this one out !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 You bet! I agree about those old Verve pressings: they wear like iron! I have a nice copy of Zappa's Cruising with Reuben and the Jets. The cover looks a bit rough, but the wax holds up. I'll keep an eye out for Hobos Lullaby.
Hey JT Wow!! What a great place to dig.. I would grab that Pure Prairie League ‘Taking the Stage’ album I have like 5 albums of their’s, I love their covers as well as their music of course😂 Cool America and Johnny Cash album. Killer vinyl finds JT.. I have both of ‘Smith’ albums and I listen to them often. I’m going to have to check out ‘Mason Profit’. Take care and thanks for sharing my friend. God bless
Man.. I love Les Dudek ! "Old Judge Jones" and everyone he played with In 73-74 I hitchhiked from North Lake Tahoe down to Reno in a blizzard to see Boz Scaggs while he had Les in his band. What an amazing show, and I stayed in a dorm room with a friend that night at Univ. Of Nevada Memorable show, for sure !
If I remember right, I noticed that Ruby Starr record the first time you passed it over and told you you should have grabbed it. Glad to see that you now have it although I thought that you didn;t know who she was. I should have known better !
Back then, I didn't put it together that Ruby Starr did the duet with Jim Dandy ( Malgrem ). Flipping through records like that and talking to Bill while triple tasking .. It's easy to miss stuff, and fortunate that I have been invited to come back as many times as I have ! That is a good record, for sure 🎵
Thanks for remembering, and it's pretty crazy that her record was still there, especially after 3 other pickers have been in Bill's Garage for the past 6 months ! ( They're not around anymore )
Mostly unknowns to me, I’d grabbed that Supertramp and I just showed that Dr. Hook in my Beards for Olivier (sounds like a badly translated Jean Renoir film). Hey, I’m listening to City Boy right now! 😲 I never find any more Tower of Power dang it! Very nice video JT, have a lovely weekend.
@@jtsrecordroom3963 City Boy I have listened to for 45 years? I got the day the earth caught fire from my record club when I was 8 years old! Man did I love that kind of scary album cover!
@@jtsrecordroom3963 A great band in my oppinion, but they arrived too late. With a prog-ish sound, they were like a 10CC type band arriving just before the world turned punk.
Wow that coffee looks delicious. That Rock Love album from Steve Miller is one of the few that's still missing in my collection, looks like it's in great shape. Great stuff from Randy Newman there. Still need that Neil Young Reactor album too. Of course, some amazing stuff at Bill's as usual. Makes you wonder where all of those records came from and when did he have time to play them all lol. Can never get enough John Mayall. I was tempted to pick up a copy of A Group Called Smith at the record store the other day, but I opted to get an OG of the debut Cold Blood album instead, which was a nice surprise. I'm still hoping I run across that one in a 2nd hand store that doesn't realize what they have. Great find with the Mark-Almond record, I never run across that one. *Boom* Nancy Sinatra! Love her! The Rockets....awesome! OMG, Zappa Absolutely Free...that's been an elusive one for me. Once again, amazing finds.
So.. Bill bought all of these thrifting back in the late 80's 90s and 20 yrs ago. He was a radio DJ.. And would spin these during his show. Everything was 1 dollar or 50 cents back then. I have Steve Miller Rock Love on a good repress for 15.00 or so. It sounds good. Mike, I don't think that copy is in good shape. I might have another look. I'm going for one of those Cuban coffee here in a bit. ( I'm at work )
He was even more hard core with thrifting than you or me, I feel, Mike ! I started thrifting for records in 2001 or so. To fill the gap of not playing in a band anymore. I had to do something musical, and records here in reno were everywhere, and cheap.. Well, they still are to a certain extent !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 I started collecting vinyl around 2004 I think, before the craze for vinyl kicked in. I had to sell off quite a bit but at least it was a huge profit since that happened as vinyl was starting to come onto demand. It was very hard to sell a lot of that because I had so much stuff that is now hard to get since I bought a lot of my initial collection from a DJ for .50 cents each. I'm only now just up to about half of what I had then.
The Group called Smith is excellent. I live that album. Good thing that garage is not near me. I would be divorced and poor. :). I have that Ruby Star album. It is excellent too. I always enjoy the digs at the garage. I have the ventures album too. Our tastes must be very similar. Lol.
Smith was my 1st real rock concert.. 1970 after Elvis at the International in the summer of 1969. Three Dog Night was the main act after Smith, when they were a hard rock band.. "Eli's Comin' Chest Fever and One !
Some of you guys 2 years ago mentioned the Ruby Starr record that I flipped by.. It took me this long to find it, and those other guys never picked it up, either ! I'm goin' back for some sunshine 60's pop and a few others next week . Thanks Tony
I don't know.. maybe a pop up eventually. He has sold a lot, Steve. There were 3 guys that are flippers digging several times in his garage. If I spend more time looking each dig, I can pull out some gems always !
I had never seen the Elton 12" either ! I might pick that one up. I'm pleased to have Nancy Sinatra with Bang Bang on the original LP, and Dexter Gordon w/ Orchestra is a nice record. Once again, good records, and I wasn't even trying very hard to find good stuff ! Thanks Mark
That coffee looked amazing!! Ohhh just take all the boxes already 😂 Wow, type of garage where I would lose my mind, and my wallet… Am almost 100% sure you have but… I have Arlo’s album Alice’s Restaurant, amazing, Have you seen the movie?
I have seen the movie.. About 20 times back in the day ! I saw it very early on at an old theatre called The Huntridge on Charleston Blvd in Las Vegas 1969-70. The coffee was good, and it's my Monday, so I think I will get another ! Haha.. It's close to my work in downtown Reno
OK.. Bill is a guy that I used to run into out there in the wild while thrifting. He used to say.. "You really should come over to my house to look through my records" After a while, I did.. And I have filmed every trip over. I guess i have at least 10 or 12 Bill's Garage video's. The records average about 4 dollars each , usually. What I pulled out of his garage is simply amazing !
Hi JT!!! It's always a fun and entertaining adventure going with you to Bill's garage an always keep finding cool and awesome records and in excellent condition too..... Knew about Piper, but never seeing any record so far, cool score. Btw, what happened with the Milli Vanilli record?? cheers and be well
Ahh ha, you noticed Cristian ! I filmed and showed Milli Vanilli and Heaven 17 and also Aldo Nova as well. This video was too long, so I cut them.. I didn't want to, but this video was running 26 minutes. I'm pleased to have all 3 of these records ! Thanks for noticing !
Back at the bottomless garage!! Electric Frankenstein...oh yeah! Essential Radio Birdman in the background. Nice one! Man I haven't heard Georgia Satellites for a long time. I've been looking for that Nancy album. I love her 60's records & have most of them. Especially the ones with Lee Hazlewood. Actually his solo records are great too. No Ballads. At least you can't complain if you were looking for ballads on that record 😂 I probably have about 30 FZ's but they are all the reissues which do sound great except Bongo Fury which is an OG & magnificent. I think those two NY records are very underrated. Funny you showed them because I was listening to those two & Trans on the weekend. I love Trans & I don't care what anyone thinks 😂 I just picked up what I think is a close to OG mono of the first Terry Knight in Japan this year. Nice pick ups Jt. Cheers...Ben
And I have Hoodoo Gurus debut framed in my guitar closet for the television addict that I am ! 😆 Good music minds think alike.. Trans is excellent and crazily. I'm missing Boots by Miss Nancy !
I have that 1st Terry Knight and the Pack record on the mono. It was my first ever vinyl haul vid about 4 years ago that I scored and showed on an early video of mine. ( 60 cents per record ) Love.. their debut on mono was a part of it, and a bunch of 60's garage bands, like Sir Douglas Quintet and Sam The Sham, The Remains, lots of other good bands as well !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 You are a Television Addict 😂I have the most recent reissue of Boots that sounds great and an old beat up copy that looks way worse than it sounds.
@@jtsrecordroom3963 I love that 60's garage rock sound from the US. When I discovered the Aus 60's garage comps Ugly Things & Before Birdmen Flew they blew my mind too
I would have picked up the Frankenstein for the cover as well. Steve Goodman albums in the wild are pretty rare (at least here). Do you sell online or have a local store or are these all for your personal collection?
Electric Frankenstein is a good hard rock record, and no I don't sell much.. Yet ! Eventually I will move into that direction. Right now, I am thoroughly enjoying my big fat collection ! Thanks so much
I need to have another look at the vinyl on that live Faces. I am a huge fan. If it is acceptable, will clean it and enjoy it, as I don't have that one, and have never seen it , actually ! Thanks for noticing
@@jtsrecordroom3963 Great, also check out the Cold Blood album you passed by, some of the best brass-rock from the 70's, amazingly tight and enjoyable band with killer musicianship.
I live on the East Coast in and area of 1.3 million people. I do not see titles like these at Bill's garage around here, yet Reno NV has them. What gives?
You know what.. I network a lot, and ask other pickers and collectors, if they have any records. That's how I met Bill ! Thanks for watching this one, and good luck out there in the real wild !
East coast here also. I see a lot of those same titles here. Not tons. Not a lot of the ones JT picks. But a fair amount that he flips past. I think there were waves of selling at the same time, so a lot of similar collections roll thru based on people aging out of records. For example, I picked up a mint Neil Young Reactor for $4 a few weeks back. I think there's more Buck Owens Bakersfield sound and western US rock out there than here.
Yeah.. I agree with all of this. The aging out of records is happening more and more. Here at Bill's this time around, I paid a little under 4 USD for each record. My Carson City hauls have been 2 dollars each, and I sometimes pay as little as .25 cents per record !
If I lived on the east coast I would be networking a lot.. reno is a great town for vinyl out in the real wild .. ( thrift, warehouses, storage lockers, 2nd hand ) Thanks !
Yeah, Greg.. That is a good punk rock record ! It always keeps me comin' back as I see and sample what I missed when I come home and run through the film. I'm glad we have very similar taste in all good things for music !
That figures about Dave Mason. He's getting up there in age. He lives between here and LA ? I think Los Angeles. I saw him perform locally, about 5 years ago, excellent show as always. Thanks, Dave, and I'm enjoying these records !
A real key how classic? 10 years after how classic? I do see something flying around Dust!!!! Les Paul Trio , An evening with Cole Porter , look interesting, what's sunshine pop is it like Herman hermits , Paul Rever and the Raiders what's sunshine pop? nice Smith , Electric Frankenstein , Piper , Mark Almond , Arlo Guthrie , Georgia Satelites , Nice Neil Young , is that Mark Almond guitar a technial gitar piece or an easy one to play? what am I living for?
Terry Knight eventually got stabbed to death by his daughter's boyfriend. I would assume Mark Farmer did not attend the funeral, not that I would know.
I remember that about Terry Knight. I always proof my info before blabbing on about this and that, as I have reviewed those Terry Knight And The Pack records before. I would say your right about Mark Farners sentiments towards his old mgr. and bandleader.
Congrats on all the great finds JT...glad to see you found a better cover for the Smith album..I just luv both releases by them. I too found a Terry Knight in the wild but different from yours and man I really like it...sometimes I wonder why he didn't just continue with his band instead of managing Grand Funk? Nice find on that Ventures too especially in such great condition...would love to hear their renditions of all those great selections fro 23:41 m back in the day!! As for myself gonna checkout a few new releases by Jack White, David Gilmour Love and Structure, a new Julian Lennon called Jude, a new J Hiatt with Jerry Douglas, a new Wallows and a new reissue of Joni's first album which I've never heard...really exited about this one...hey thanks for another fine video JT...take care and enjoy all the new music!!😊 .
Good to hear from you, Louis ! Enjoy checking out these new releases that you mentioned. Terry Knight & The Pack.. It would have been cool to have another record by them, for sure. I think he wanted to say with Mark and Don Brewer, seeing their talent, easier being the manager than fronting a band ! Too much work 😆 Thank you
I keep seeing people mention that Smith record. Bill's Garage never fails to impress. Really great finds as usual!

Wow ! Robbie, that carries some weight with me, I'll keep going and I think pacing is important, and I just like showing where I'm going to get records. Thank you
It was fun listening to Bill and You talk about the records. We both like Steve Winwood Vancant Chair. I hope things get better with the fire. 🙏
The fires weren't as bad as it look to be, and Slide Mountain and Mt. Rose ski areas weren't scared. A firefighter told me it was in a deep and steep canyon. I would have loved to see Steve Winwood on tour back in 2016 ! That live greatest hits double album with the green cover is incredibly great !

I saw Piper live back in the 70s live inBoston..They played with The Babys (John Waite's band)
That, I'm sure.. was a good show ! I'm gonna keep a look out for another Piper LP. Thanks, Isa✌
Hi JT, another super Bill's garage video. Great Frank Zappa and Neil Young albums. Take care with those wild fires man.
Luckily , the firefighters got them in control. I believe you would like Electric Frankenstien ' Sick Songs' Mike .. The opener is excellent ! Thank you

That's right.. It was you ! I have a dbl. LP Steve Goodman ( tan cover ) that I like a lot. My favorite Mark-Almond is the black jacket w/ the bird/ man Erte looking cover. Best version of What Am I Living For !
Some interesting finds John….I hope the Absolutely Free record wasn’t too expensive.
Harry, I got a very good deal on it as I bundled it with all the other finds. It plays nicely, and when listening, I forgot about the pure genius of that record !
Smith cover of Baby its You, is just pure excellence. I do enjoy that live Faces record also. Hope your well
Yeah.. I love that song ! When I was 13, it was my favorite on the radio, and there were so many good songs going around in 1970. They came to town, and I saw Smith as an opening band at the tail end of '70. My first real rock concert after Elvis at the International in '69. See you, Shaun
A lot of great economy jazz titles. Just in time for Halloween! 🎃 I never pass on clean Nancy record. 👏🏽👏🏽 The Ventures are such a great listen. Good stuff over there at Bill’s!
Hey there, Steve. When I make these dig video's.. It makes me want to go back for other stuff i missed ! Haha. I listened to The Sunshine Company, their debut from 1967. There are some very strong songs on that record, and it is dirt cheap ! I'm goin' back 😉
@@jtsrecordroom3963 Lol 😆 that’s what we do! 👍🏽👍🏽 If you like the late great Ben Webster then pick up that Flip Phillips Record A Melody From The Sky on Flying Dutchman. It’s a beautiful record, if it’s NM of course. Enjoy, Buddy!
Electric Frankenstein! Saw them once or twice, or maybe three times at the Court Tavern back home in NJ! How cool you found their EP in Bill's Garage! I might still have that EP or maybe not. Need to get it back, ah aha. JT
Glad you know the band, JT. I think it's their best. What a great rock/ punk rock band they were ! Thanks for watching this one..
Billy Squire is a Wellesley Ma rich kid. His drummer, Bobby Chounard lived a block over from me in Brockton, Ma. Piper is a good band.
Interesting and I thought he was from Mass ! I know Piper was based out of NYC when they got going. Very cool that you have that connection with Piper !
Gotta love that Bill's garage! The Smith cover of 'Baby It's You' is up there for me - I love how they slow it down yet 'funk it up' at the same time, if that makes any sense! Ruby Starr - new to me. I have no Arlo, and should explore some of that catalog. Joe South I am always looking for when out and about. He also wrote 'Rose Garden', right? Nancy Sinatra knew how to rock a body length cable knit sweater - they should bring those back! Great stuff all around, and that Zappa release seems to be one of the harder ones to come by - nice! 😎
Absolutely Free is a hard one to come by ! Its a VG to VG+.. Those old Verve records are very sturdy and they generally play well, as does this copy. Hobos Lullaby is a good Arlo Guthrie to find, and yes Joe South did write Rose garden with Lynn Anderson making it a huge hit ! And true.. Nancy knew how to rock just about anything ! Ruby Starr was new to me as well, except her duet with Jim Dandy in Black Oak Arkansas. Thanks a lot for checking this one out !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 You bet! I agree about those old Verve pressings: they wear like iron! I have a nice copy of Zappa's Cruising with Reuben and the Jets. The cover looks a bit rough, but the wax holds up. I'll keep an eye out for Hobos Lullaby.
Thanks, and any of the first 5 Arlo LPs are good, most of them, actually ! Ruben & The Jets is excellent 😄
Hey JT Wow!! What a great place to dig.. I would grab that Pure Prairie League ‘Taking the Stage’ album I have like 5 albums of their’s, I love their covers as well as their music of course😂 Cool America and Johnny Cash album. Killer vinyl finds JT.. I have both of ‘Smith’ albums and I listen to them often. I’m going to have to check out ‘Mason Profit’. Take care and thanks for sharing my friend. God bless
Hey, Craig ! Since you like PPR.. You should like Mason Proffit. Please stream them and see what you think !
Bills garage continuously has stuff I want, and I'm going back next week for more ! Carson City has been good for records as well ! Thanks
Les Dudek played a mean guitar. He had ties to the Allmans. He’s worth a listen.
Man.. I love Les Dudek ! "Old Judge Jones" and everyone he played with In 73-74 I hitchhiked from North Lake Tahoe down to Reno in a blizzard to see Boz Scaggs while he had Les in his band. What an amazing show, and I stayed in a dorm room with a friend that night at Univ. Of Nevada Memorable show, for sure !
wish i lived near bill, he has a lot of albums,id like to own!!
Although some of them aren't in the kind of condition I'm looking for. Still, Dave.. Bill's continues to produce ! Thanks for looking in on this one
Nice scores!!
Not bad not bad ! I'm listening to them all through the week. That The Rockets LP is a very good rock record.. love it ! Thanks✌
If I remember right, I noticed that Ruby Starr record the first time you passed it over and told you you should have grabbed it. Glad to see that you now have it although I thought that you didn;t know who she was. I should have known better !
Back then, I didn't put it together that Ruby Starr did the duet with Jim Dandy ( Malgrem ). Flipping through records like that and talking to Bill while triple tasking .. It's easy to miss stuff, and fortunate that I have been invited to come back as many times as I have ! That is a good record, for sure 🎵
Thanks for remembering, and it's pretty crazy that her record was still there, especially after 3 other pickers have been in Bill's Garage for the past 6 months ! ( They're not around anymore )
The Supertramp album Crises What Crises is one of my favorite album with Supertramp
It is a good one, Isn't it ! I will wait for a cleaner copy of that fine album, as I don't have it on vinyl. Thanks so much !
Mostly unknowns to me, I’d grabbed that Supertramp and I just showed that Dr. Hook in my Beards for Olivier (sounds like a badly translated Jean Renoir film).
Hey, I’m listening to City Boy right now! 😲
I never find any more Tower of Power dang it!
Very nice video JT, have a lovely weekend.
The City Boy record looked good, I will have another look next week ! Id love to find a better copy of Crisis What Crisis. Thank you Morten
@@jtsrecordroom3963 City Boy I have listened to for 45 years? I got the day the earth caught fire from my record club when I was 8 years old! Man did I love that kind of scary album cover!
Now I'm definitely interested to go back for City Boy at Bill's !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 A great band in my oppinion, but they arrived too late. With a prog-ish sound, they were like a 10CC type band arriving just before the world turned punk.
Thanks Morten.. I knew I would like City Boy when I was chatting with Bill. There are 4 or 5 records in that box.. I'm gonna get them !! ✌
Wow that coffee looks delicious. That Rock Love album from Steve Miller is one of the few that's still missing in my collection, looks like it's in great shape. Great stuff from Randy Newman there. Still need that Neil Young Reactor album too. Of course, some amazing stuff at Bill's as usual. Makes you wonder where all of those records came from and when did he have time to play them all lol. Can never get enough John Mayall. I was tempted to pick up a copy of A Group Called Smith at the record store the other day, but I opted to get an OG of the debut Cold Blood album instead, which was a nice surprise. I'm still hoping I run across that one in a 2nd hand store that doesn't realize what they have. Great find with the Mark-Almond record, I never run across that one. *Boom* Nancy Sinatra! Love her! The Rockets....awesome! OMG, Zappa Absolutely Free...that's been an elusive one for me. Once again, amazing finds.
So.. Bill bought all of these thrifting back in the late 80's 90s and 20 yrs ago. He was a radio DJ.. And would spin these during his show. Everything was 1 dollar or 50 cents back then. I have Steve Miller Rock Love on a good repress for 15.00 or so. It sounds good. Mike, I don't think that copy is in good shape. I might have another look. I'm going for one of those Cuban coffee here in a bit. ( I'm at work )
Thanks, Mike.. It's great to have you back !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 That really explains why he has so many records. And the treasures you find just keep coming
He was even more hard core with thrifting than you or me, I feel, Mike ! I started thrifting for records in 2001 or so. To fill the gap of not playing in a band anymore. I had to do something musical, and records here in reno were everywhere, and cheap.. Well, they still are to a certain extent !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 I started collecting vinyl around 2004 I think, before the craze for vinyl kicked in. I had to sell off quite a bit but at least it was a huge profit since that happened as vinyl was starting to come onto demand. It was very hard to sell a lot of that because I had so much stuff that is now hard to get since I bought a lot of my initial collection from a DJ for .50 cents each. I'm only now just up to about half of what I had then.
The Neil Young Album Everybody's Rockin' is my favorite album with Neil Young
Yeah ! It is a good one, indeed ! I'm not missing much for Neil, as I enjoy almost all of his albums.. Thanks
The Group called Smith is excellent. I live that album. Good thing that garage is not near me. I would be divorced and poor. :). I have that Ruby Star album. It is excellent too. I always enjoy the digs at the garage. I have the ventures album too. Our tastes must be very similar. Lol.
Smith was my 1st real rock concert.. 1970 after Elvis at the International in the summer of 1969. Three Dog Night was the main act after Smith, when they were a hard rock band.. "Eli's Comin' Chest Fever and One !
Some of you guys 2 years ago mentioned the Ruby Starr record that I flipped by.. It took me this long to find it, and those other guys never picked it up, either ! I'm goin' back for some sunshine 60's pop and a few others next week . Thanks Tony
So what is Bill going to do with all those other 1000s of records? Still and incredible amount still in the garage.
I don't know.. maybe a pop up eventually. He has sold a lot, Steve. There were 3 guys that are flippers digging several times in his garage. If I spend more time looking each dig, I can pull out some gems always !
Hi JT. How are you? I really like these acquisition videos, even though I don't know many of the bands mentioned! a big hug 👊🏻👊🏻🤘🏻
Cool Thiago.. I think you would like some of these bands.. maybe ! Try some out streaming if you get a chance. Chao. JT
I'm well.. getting my 10 year old ready for bed !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 I will definitely listen!
Wonderful, that's right! A hug for you👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻
I've never seen that Elton John jacket. I think I have the Nancy Sinatra title, which is pretty cool. Dexter Gordon is a great one too.
I had never seen the Elton 12" either ! I might pick that one up. I'm pleased to have Nancy Sinatra with Bang Bang on the original LP, and Dexter Gordon w/ Orchestra is a nice record. Once again, good records, and I wasn't even trying very hard to find good stuff ! Thanks Mark
That coffee looked amazing!! Ohhh just take all the boxes already 😂 Wow, type of garage where I would lose my mind, and my wallet… Am almost 100% sure you have but… I have Arlo’s album Alice’s Restaurant, amazing, Have you seen the movie?
I have seen the movie.. About 20 times back in the day ! I saw it very early on at an old theatre called The Huntridge on Charleston Blvd in Las Vegas 1969-70. The coffee was good, and it's my Monday, so I think I will get another ! Haha.. It's close to my work in downtown Reno
@@jtsrecordroom3963 Good vibes as always JT, have a great Monday 🎶✌🏼
Who is this Bill ? Lotta good stuff there ❤
OK.. Bill is a guy that I used to run into out there in the wild while thrifting. He used to say.. "You really should come over to my house to look through my records" After a while, I did.. And I have filmed every trip over. I guess i have at least 10 or 12 Bill's Garage video's. The records average about 4 dollars each , usually. What I pulled out of his garage is simply amazing !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 wow I shall go back and catch up on Bills stash ! Thanks for clarifying
Hi JT!!! It's always a fun and entertaining adventure going with you to Bill's garage an always keep finding cool and awesome records and in excellent condition too..... Knew about Piper, but never seeing any record so far, cool score. Btw, what happened with the Milli Vanilli record?? cheers and be well
Ahh ha, you noticed Cristian ! I filmed and showed Milli Vanilli and Heaven 17 and also Aldo Nova as well. This video was too long, so I cut them.. I didn't want to, but this video was running 26 minutes. I'm pleased to have all 3 of these records ! Thanks for noticing !
Back at the bottomless garage!! Electric Frankenstein...oh yeah! Essential Radio Birdman in the background. Nice one! Man I haven't heard Georgia Satellites for a long time. I've been looking for that Nancy album. I love her 60's records & have most of them. Especially the ones with Lee Hazlewood. Actually his solo records are great too. No Ballads. At least you can't complain if you were looking for ballads on that record 😂 I probably have about 30 FZ's but they are all the reissues which do sound great except Bongo Fury which is an OG & magnificent. I think those two NY records are very underrated. Funny you showed them because I was listening to those two & Trans on the weekend. I love Trans & I don't care what anyone thinks 😂 I just picked up what I think is a close to OG mono of the first Terry Knight in Japan this year. Nice pick ups Jt. Cheers...Ben
And I have Hoodoo Gurus debut framed in my guitar closet for the television addict that I am ! 😆 Good music minds think alike.. Trans is excellent and crazily. I'm missing Boots by Miss Nancy !
I have that 1st Terry Knight and the Pack record on the mono. It was my first ever vinyl haul vid about 4 years ago that I scored and showed on an early video of mine. ( 60 cents per record ) Love.. their debut on mono was a part of it, and a bunch of 60's garage bands, like Sir Douglas Quintet and Sam The Sham, The Remains, lots of other good bands as well !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 You are a Television Addict 😂I have the most recent reissue of Boots that sounds great and an old beat up copy that looks way worse than it sounds.
@@jtsrecordroom3963 I love that 60's garage rock sound from the US. When I discovered the Aus 60's garage comps Ugly Things & Before Birdmen Flew they blew my mind too
I considered the newest pressing of Boots. I'm gonna hold out to see if one materializes magically.. Somewhere out there in the Nevada desert 😁
I would have picked up the Frankenstein for the cover as well. Steve Goodman albums in the wild are pretty rare (at least here). Do you sell online or have a local store or are these all for your personal collection?
Electric Frankenstein is a good hard rock record, and no I don't sell much.. Yet ! Eventually I will move into that direction. Right now, I am thoroughly enjoying my big fat collection ! Thanks so much
J.T. some nice picks, but how could you leave the ' Live coast to coast ' by The Faces ? go fetch it 😉
I need to have another look at the vinyl on that live Faces. I am a huge fan. If it is acceptable, will clean it and enjoy it, as I don't have that one, and have never seen it , actually ! Thanks for noticing
@@jtsrecordroom3963 Great, also check out the Cold Blood album you passed by, some of the best brass-rock from the 70's, amazingly tight and enjoyable band with killer musicianship.
I live on the East Coast in and area of 1.3 million people. I do not see titles like these at Bill's garage around here, yet Reno NV has them. What gives?
You know what.. I network a lot, and ask other pickers and collectors, if they have any records. That's how I met Bill ! Thanks for watching this one, and good luck out there in the real wild !
East coast here also. I see a lot of those same titles here. Not tons. Not a lot of the ones JT picks. But a fair amount that he flips past. I think there were waves of selling at the same time, so a lot of similar collections roll thru based on people aging out of records. For example, I picked up a mint Neil Young Reactor for $4 a few weeks back. I think there's more Buck Owens Bakersfield sound and western US rock out there than here.
Yeah.. I agree with all of this. The aging out of records is happening more and more. Here at Bill's this time around, I paid a little under 4 USD for each record. My Carson City hauls have been 2 dollars each, and I sometimes pay as little as .25 cents per record !
If I lived on the east coast I would be networking a lot.. reno is a great town for vinyl out in the real wild .. ( thrift, warehouses, storage lockers, 2nd hand ) Thanks !
You had to come back for Mr electric Frankie. Crap JT record after record that are keepers
Yeah, Greg.. That is a good punk rock record ! It always keeps me comin' back as I see and sample what I missed when I come home and run through the film. I'm glad we have very similar taste in all good things for music !
@@jtsrecordroom3963 great minds think alike
Haha.. Yes !
I hear Dave Mason had to cancel his tour due to health reasons. Nice haul JT
That figures about Dave Mason. He's getting up there in age. He lives between here and LA ? I think Los Angeles. I saw him perform locally, about 5 years ago, excellent show as always. Thanks, Dave, and I'm enjoying these records !
A real key how classic?
10 years after how classic? I do see something flying around Dust!!!!
Les Paul Trio , An evening with Cole Porter , look interesting,
what's sunshine pop is it like Herman hermits , Paul Rever and the Raiders what's sunshine pop?
nice Smith , Electric Frankenstein , Piper , Mark Almond , Arlo Guthrie , Georgia Satelites , Nice Neil Young ,
is that Mark Almond guitar a technial gitar piece or an easy one to play? what am I living for?
Well.. Watt, Stonehenge and Sssh are awesome, and let's not forget.. A Space In Time ! Ten Years After
Exactly, that's sunshine pop ! Also, The Archies, The Monkees ( kind of ) 1910 Fruitgum Co. Spanky And Our Gang, The Turtles.. bands like this.
Mark-Almond "What Am I Living For" is not technical. Key of G major in a folk/ country style of chording
@@jtsrecordroom3963 I had 10 years at the top of my comment how classic?
@@jtsrecordroom3963 which track is more technical this track or Foolin from Pyromania?
If you’re into selling records Dolly Parton greatest hits is a $20 record all day long
I do have a few Dolly's and they are all comps..
Terry Knight eventually got stabbed to death by his daughter's boyfriend. I would assume Mark Farmer did not attend the funeral, not that I would know.
I remember that about Terry Knight. I always proof my info before blabbing on about this and that, as I have reviewed those Terry Knight And The Pack records before. I would say your right about Mark Farners sentiments towards his old mgr. and bandleader.
Get Nocturna
JT. I would spend a $1000 minimum at Bill’s
Really ! I will listen here in a bit..
Congrats on all the great finds JT...glad to see you found a better cover for the Smith album..I just luv both releases by them. I too found a Terry Knight in the wild but different from yours and man I really like it...sometimes I wonder why he didn't just continue with his band instead of managing Grand Funk? Nice find on that Ventures too especially in such great condition...would love to hear their renditions of all those great selections fro 23:41 m back in the day!! As for myself gonna checkout a few new releases by Jack White, David Gilmour Love and Structure, a new Julian Lennon called Jude, a new J Hiatt with Jerry Douglas, a new Wallows and a new reissue of Joni's first album which I've never heard...really exited about this one...hey thanks for another fine video JT...take care and enjoy all the new music!!😊
.
Good to hear from you, Louis ! Enjoy checking out these new releases that you mentioned. Terry Knight & The Pack.. It would have been cool to have another record by them, for sure. I think he wanted to say with Mark and Don Brewer, seeing their talent, easier being the manager than fronting a band ! Too much work 😆 Thank you
