@daddyknobling Album art is amazing, the saddest part of CD's -> MP3's etc. Well that & the lost subtleties analogous in waves cut short in digitized hype... I miss every pop & click, though few; music was handled mroe respectfully then it seems...
That Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera record is one of my favorites. There's something a little more timeless about their sound compared to a lot of the other psych groups. The bass is killer too!
Uhhh. Hmm. No, actually. I've come across a few copies of their first album but I think each time it was a bit expensive. Plus to be honest I never really liked Frijid Pink all that much, although "Crying Shame" from the first album I like.
Thanks for sharing your collection,the only two albums i recognized was "The Strawberry Alarm Clock" and "Fevertree".I was born in 1961,but totally love pychedelic music..Now i have new bands to search for on youtube.Peace
Haha planned--yes, made--no. I guess I've been a bit lazy with my videos lately, but they take way more work and time than you would ever imagine. I guess I've allowed myself to become distracted by other stuff in my life, but I'm definitely hoping to still put more videos up eventually.
Sadly, it wouldn't look like much. A bunch of white boxes full of albums. It's not like in the apartment scenes in High Fidelity or anything like that. But we'll see--I'll keep your idea in mind.
Hi, you have a nice collection. Have you ever came across or have the original pressing of Leaf Hound's "Growers Of Mushrooms" on Decca 1971? I still dream of going through yard sale records, or second hand shops and finding it in mint condition for cheap. ahhhhh dreaming is free.
Geesh, I've never even heard of that one. But Decca, like many major labels around 1968-1972, were releasing all sorts of obscure content with the hopes of cashing into the rapidly expanding record market. 1968 was the first year, for instance, that LPs outsold 45s, so suddenly it made sense for labels to experiment with a full album by a relatively unknown artist. Leaf Hound sound like one of those!
@jasonwillis29307 Hi, that lp, Leaf Hound is one of the rarest U.K. rock lp's..and sells for upwards of 3k when it appears!..so good luck finding one..
hey there, great collection:) Ive een going to flea markets and garage sale since im young, and ive had a small record collection ever since I started. Anyhow I was meaning to ask you,is dark side of the moon rare and if so, how much is it worth? thanks:)
Hi. Dark Side of the Moon is a great rock album, but by virtue of the fact that it was one of the best-selling albums of the early 70s, it's also one of the least rare records of the era. Generally speaking, the records that were the biggest hits sold the most copies and are thus not very rare. But the good news is that those records are so well loved, people always want to listen to them and buy copies of them. And if your copy has the original posters, that's pretty cool.
@myrecordcollection its cause I gave the copy I owned to my friend who was a crazy Pink Floyd fanatic:) thanks, good thing it wasnt too much expensive:)
i love Psychedelic rock music my fav album, is pink floyds piper at the gates of dawn very Psychedelic, erm think im goanna look up a Lot of thses bands, thanks for the vid man
Hey M.R.C. - I think maybe you'll dig what I'm doing with The Daily Vinyl. I've been filming my turntable in random places (and sometimes doing random things.). I've featured The Stones, The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, collaborations with an art group in Nashville using an original pressing of The White Album, etc. I've made 40 videos so far. Some people love it. Some think its rubbish. Oh well. All I can do is what I love and maybe some others will enjoy it too. I'd love to know what you think.
Ah, Fever Tree - just got hold of excellent copies of For Sale (on Ampex) and Another Time Another Place on UNI. That label had some intriguing stuff to say the least. Love watching your videos, thank you for putting them up!
hay man, great collection, but you need music from another lands, i suggest to put your ears in peruvian psychedelic sixties bands...you must to get LOS SAICOS, TRAFFIC SOUND, TELEGRAPH AVENUE, LOS HOLYS, LAGHONIA, NEW JUGGLER SOUND, LOS YORKS, and many many more. you can to begin with two compilations edited in CD "the sons of Yma" and "back to peru".
Clear Light: As an adult, I finally found a copy in a shop...by telephone. I sent off a check and heard nothing for a long time. So I called the guy. He told me they had moved shop and things were in an uproar. He rushed the LP out to me that day. But my check never cleared the bank, so I called the guy again to see if he needed a new check. He said he found the original between his desk and the wall and wasn't gonna cash it. He said to consider the LP a "gift to a fan!" I love that story!
Myrecordcollection, you are a blessing. I was born at the end of the 60s and grew up in San Francisco (not born there) in the Hayes Valley district and too young for all of that generation's movement. Thanks!!
It would have...if only I had it! I have never found an original copy of any of those early Floyd albums. Hopefully one day I'll stumble upon one of them.
oh my father gave me some of his old records, got an original piper at the gates of dawn, saucerful of secrets and the 'more' soundtrack with a not so mint conditioned cover (it's got candle wax on it. hahah)
i recommend you to buy/steal/borrow any of these if you get your hands on them
Im sure you can find some on Ebay. I recently found originals of Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. Im sure someone has the older albums up for auction.
Yeah, there are many of them available on Ebay. I don't generally like buying records from Ebay, though. I feel like it sort of takes the fun and challenge away from finding rare records. One of the biggest joys of record collecting is wanting to find something for years and then finding it. When you can buy it anytime on Ebay, I feel like it takes that away.
It seems like I have to resort to ebay . . . although I agree the most gratifying is finding a record in a bargain bin. I live in mid Missouri and don't seem to have a lot of luck though. Where do you have the most successful vinyl hunting?
Your best bet is a good shop, but those are becoming as rare as the records themselves. A few weeks ago I found the first Colours album on Dot Records for $5.00 at Jerry's Records here in Pittsburgh.
Yeah, I didn't show stuff like Jefferson Airplane or Doors because I guess I wanted to show off-the-beaten-path classics. There are a LOT of classics, after all.
Man you have to rework your definition of classics! These are more obscure than classics! Some classics are: "Surrealistic Pillow", "Moby Grape" , "Forever Changes" not The Human Beinz who were obscure even in the 60's!
Secondly - i respect your collection, it's a great one, i wish i had it :D
my word u do have an outstanding collection of '60s Garage Rock & British Invation Albums..im jus @ awe of these wonderful treasures u hold & in Excellent condition...'60s Rulz Man!! thanku!..ps. im jus try'n to catch up w/ Ur vids...=0]
this is a cool video, but please tell me those were not sealed and that you do listen to them? cos i think theres nothing more tragic then a mute record. anyway this was very informative, il look into those bands :)
Out of these here, I've got "Side Trips" by Kaleidoscope, The Idle Race, and Clear Light. On CD, I've got the 3-CD comp "Pulsating Dreams" that features all four of Kaleidoscope's albums and "Back To The Story" by Idle Race which features both of the Jeff Lynne albums and the lousy Dave Walker one, though "She Sang Hymns Out Of Tune" is a beauty.
You mean Atomic Rooster? They were a British group that had hits like "Tomorrow Night" and "The Devil's Answer." Their records came out on Elektra here in the USA.
Sure! Their first two albums are really great. The third one, TO MARKOS III, is okay but not as good. Here in the USA their albums came out on Bell Records.
I am too a sixties psychedelic freak and that is a nice collection you have. I have a lot of those on cd. I prefer Beacon St. Union over Ultimate Spinach myself, especially their first lp.
Yeah it's a nice album. I have the CD. I never understood why it is so rare. After all, it came out on a national label, Roulette. So why is it so rare and valuable? Do you know?
@myrecordcollection I'm only guessing but they were the only psychedelic group to come from the Washington D.C. area, also the only psych group signed by Roulette which by that time was no longer a major label. In fact, Roulette may have gone defunct shortly after this was released. The only other thing I know them for is oldies compilations of the 50's and early 60's so the Fallen Angels may have been a last ditch attempt to cash in on the new music. But no promotion.
They were produced by Alan Lorber and were the most famous of the "Bosstown Sound" bands. Beacon Street Union was another of these Lorber bands. The Bosstown sound clearly never quite caught on. I love the Ultimate Spinach and you should mail that precious original to me ASAP.
I beg you pardon, I did not see your reponse video. Clearly you deserve to keep your Spinach album and also deserve the magnificent gifts from Dan :-)
Buena discografía, me extrañó eso sí el de Family dado que entra mas bien dentro de la progresiva inglesa, pero pienso que ambos géneros son lo mejor que dado el rock.
Seriously, how many times do I have to address this issue? See my response video, "Psych Classics - Boston vs. British," for the acknowledgement of my error. Or see the description. Or see the video's annotations.
Sagittarius's PRESENT TENSE and Millennium's BEGIN are great sunshine psych albums, although they're both pretty hard to come by on the original vinyl. I don't have either on vinyl, just on CD.
I was a radio programmer back in the day and played the albums you mentioned on the air (I still have most of them). Bravo for keeping them alive! I guess they should stay in my collection, after being close to the Goodwill bins. Some of these comments, by the way, contain alot of pointless, sour grapes and whine! A popular YT video, nonetheless.
I buy records(and CDs)in order to add to my already large library of music.Of course I do tolerate craklings and few pops once in awhile but the record has to be listenable.I like the sound and looks of vinyl,besides lots of obscure and not so obscure titles have yet to be reissued on CD,so vinyls come handy.
I usually listen to the CDs rather than the records, but off and on I play them all. In the case of albums that haven't been released on CD, I often make digital rips of them. Even a brand-new record will have some pops, but no record in decent condition should skip. I only buy records in very nice condition, so I try to avoid any that have real scratches or anything. Good-condition records sound quite good. Scratches and pops and so on are a direct result of the condition of the record.
Okay I don't want to rain on your parade but first of all, just because you own the record does not make it a "classic". And I think I only read one comment that alluded to the fact that the band is called The Idle Race, not "The Birthday Party". I guess that's a logical mistake but it demonstrates something that's obvious here. You like buying the record and showing it to people but that's about it.
I must admit, that's one stereotype of record collectors that I never understood: the idea that we care only about the objects but not the music. Why would I spend so much time collecting records if I weren't engrossed with the music they contain? For me record collecting is a *fun hobby* that's grown out of an *important passion*: my love for music. And despite your bogus logic, my considering something a "classic" or my forgetting to mention a band name does not undermine my love for music.
My recommendation would be to find a new turntable entirely. It's just about impossible to fix those mechanical issues on out-of-date technology because you can't obtain the parts. Try Ebay, etc. for a new turntable.
i recommend a lenco l78 or l75 wich has 12, 33, 45 and 78 and is tough and has a good arm too (the s one) Use a Shure and you wont be disappointed. I would get a Sansui amp, Celestion speakers.. ohhh vintge stereos.. ahrgh
Ultimate Spinach as well as the Beacon Street Union were from Boston. Skunk Baxter who played guitar for Ultimate Spinach, did some work with Steely Dan.
I had that Fallen Angels. I don't know what happened to it. That copy you have might be it as my mom had a habit of trashing my LP's that I didn't listen to every minute of every day. Go figure. I have the 45 of "Incense and Peppermints". A friend had that same "Ultimate Spinach" but a few years ago, for whatever reason, he decided that there was no need for analog 33's in our changing digital world, and yardsold his collection. I didn't know of this yard sale or I would bought them all.
Nice collection. I bet we could talk for hours about this stuff. I love a lot of the ones you show here. Some of them made me laugh. You know now, I bet, that The Spinach were from Boston. Can you tell me what connection Chevy Chase has to his group?
More mind-blowing than any of these albums, is your orange shag carpet. You, sir, are truly a hardcore psych-head. I had that exact carpet as a kid in the late 70's, I remember it always made me feel like I was drowning in a sea of yarn.
Easier way? Haha, I'm not sure what you mean. If you have plenty of money, Ebay is an "easy" way. But I've always searched record shops, antique stores, thrift shops, and so on. That's what I recommend.
probably the black market like sweatmeets things like that my father has over 2000 l.p, cause ebay and recordshops will overprice a lots of the records. thats a way to star
Although there WAS only one "United States Of America" album, it's well worth mentioning that it was a Joseph Byrd project and the followup was "The American Metaphysical Circus"...named after a cut on the earlier disc.
I have considered both albums essential for about 40 years now.
Quite right. I've never heard the Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies album, but it used to be available on CD a few years ago. I'd like to check it out one of these days.
Where the heck did you pick those up, my friend? Way cool Psych collection. Just the Human Beinz and Strawberry Alarm Clock alone are mind blowing to see in vinyl form. I've got the Nuggets boxed sets, but nothing compares to seeing (and in your case owning) the original albums. Holy Grail stuff, dude! Thanks for posting, with knowledgable narration to boot! A+++++++++++
Nah, I don't go to that much trouble. First of all, I figure that the jackets have had the discs in them for 40 years, so it's a bit late in the game to start separating them now. Second of all, simply keeping them in plastic sleeves almost totally prevents ringwear. The plastic sleeves absorb the wear so the cover doesn't.
Doug, former player with me and in the lower right of the Clear Light album, played bass on many of The Doors albums after they reached limits with the keyboard bass.
I mean lower left which gives me the opportunity to also tell you that Clear Light was the tripping band with Barry McGuire in James Colburn's "The Presidents Annalist"...what a life.
No, it wasn't PBS, I guess I got it wrong. But that was a fabulous album, One Nation Underground. ESP certainly was an interesting label with the Fugs, Leary, Sun Ra, Godz, Manson (!), Burroughs...
One psychedelic cover I like a lot is Iron Butterfly's Heavy.
i had some of these records before they went missing at parties i'd drag them around to, grrrrr (if i'd only known then...)i did manage to find a child's guide to good and evil (wcpaeb) on cd and was pretty stoked about that! i would also add to this collection: electric music for the mind and body by country joe and the fish (berkely band) and perth county conspiracy (perth county conspiracy does not exit) a fine group from my country of canada.
Are you sure that Ultimate Spinach is British? I thought they were from Boston. The lineup at times included Jeff Baxter and Chevy Chase, who are not British.

in all honesty what do you think your rarest album is?
great collection by the way
haightashburyhippie 3 years ago
Hmm, that's a hard guess. Probably the rarest one in this video is the Fallen Angels one.
myrecordcollection 3 years ago
@myrecordcollection Ever heard The Fallen Angel's "It's a Long Way Down".
Until it came out on CD it was worth as much as The Beatles butcher cover.
Fantastic dark psychedelia.

Yeah it's a nice album. I have the CD. I never understood why it is so rare. After all, it came out on a national label, Roulette. So why is it so rare and valuable? Do you know?
myrecordcollection 1 year ago
@myrecordcollection I'm only guessing but they were the only psychedelic group to come from the Washington D.C. area, also the only psych group signed by Roulette which by that time was no longer a major label. In fact, Roulette may have gone defunct shortly after this was released. The only other thing I know them for is oldies compilations of the 50's and early 60's so the Fallen Angels may have been a last ditch attempt to cash in on the new music. But no promotion.
49kasey 1 year ago
Then again, Roulette was making millions from those Tommy James and the Shondells records well into '69-'70.

Ultimate Spinach a British band!!!???
They were produced by Alan Lorber and were the most famous of the "Bosstown Sound" bands. Beacon Street Union was another of these Lorber bands. The Bosstown sound clearly never quite caught on. I love the Ultimate Spinach and you should mail that precious original to me ASAP.

Buena discografía, me extrañó eso sí el de Family dado que entra mas bien dentro de la progresiva inglesa, pero pienso que ambos géneros son lo mejor que dado el rock.

Sagittarius's PRESENT TENSE and Millennium's BEGIN are great sunshine psych albums, although they're both pretty hard to come by on the original vinyl. I don't have either on vinyl, just on CD.

I was a radio programmer back in the day and played the albums you mentioned on the air (I still have most of them). Bravo for keeping them alive! I guess they should stay in my collection, after being close to the Goodwill bins. Some of these comments, by the way, contain alot of pointless, sour grapes and whine! A popular YT video, nonetheless.
willyrein 3 years ago
Well,thanks for the infos!
I buy records(and CDs)in order to add to my already large library of music.Of course I do tolerate craklings and few pops once in awhile but the record has to be listenable.I like the sound and looks of vinyl,besides lots of obscure and not so obscure titles have yet to be reissued on CD,so vinyls come handy.
malawri67 3 years ago
Cool collection!
I'm into psych and progressive.
A few questions;
1)Do you listen to all these records?
2)Do some of them sound bad?Like scratches,pops,skips and hicups?
Thanks!
malawri67 3 years ago
I usually listen to the CDs rather than the records, but off and on I play them all. In the case of albums that haven't been released on CD, I often make digital rips of them. Even a brand-new record will have some pops, but no record in decent condition should skip. I only buy records in very nice condition, so I try to avoid any that have real scratches or anything. Good-condition records sound quite good. Scratches and pops and so on are a direct result of the condition of the record.

bnzbrl 3 years ago
Okay I don't want to rain on your parade but first of all, just because you own the record does not make it a "classic". And I think I only read one comment that alluded to the fact that the band is called The Idle Race, not "The Birthday Party". I guess that's a logical mistake but it demonstrates something that's obvious here. You like buying the record and showing it to people but that's about it.
NatKone1 3 years ago
I must admit, that's one stereotype of record collectors that I never understood: the idea that we care only about the objects but not the music. Why would I spend so much time collecting records if I weren't engrossed with the music they contain? For me record collecting is a *fun hobby* that's grown out of an *important passion*: my love for music. And despite your bogus logic, my considering something a "classic" or my forgetting to mention a band name does not undermine my love for music.

excuse me,
i have a major problme.
im 12 years old so there is not much mechanical work i can do,
i have a 1967 RCA solid State Stereo Record Player.
3 speed.
When you put a record on, the songs are noticeably faster and in a higher key.
i have tried using coins, but i would like a permanet fix, is there anything you would recommend?
PeterCRissKISSgod 3 years ago
My recommendation would be to find a new turntable entirely. It's just about impossible to fix those mechanical issues on out-of-date technology because you can't obtain the parts. Try Ebay, etc. for a new turntable.

I had that Fallen Angels. I don't know what happened to it. That copy you have might be it as my mom had a habit of trashing my LP's that I didn't listen to every minute of every day. Go figure. I have the 45 of "Incense and Peppermints". A friend had that same "Ultimate Spinach" but a few years ago, for whatever reason, he decided that there was no need for analog 33's in our changing digital world, and yardsold his collection. I didn't know of this yard sale or I would bought them all.

breakself 3 years ago
Although there WAS only one "United States Of America" album, it's well worth mentioning that it was a Joseph Byrd project and the followup was "The American Metaphysical Circus"...named after a cut on the earlier disc.
I have considered both albums essential for about 40 years now.

Very nice collection. Do you separate the discs from the jackets to minimize ring-wear, or just let them be?
rangergranger 4 years ago
Nah, I don't go to that much trouble. First of all, I figure that the jackets have had the discs in them for 40 years, so it's a bit late in the game to start separating them now. Second of all, simply keeping them in plastic sleeves almost totally prevents ringwear. The plastic sleeves absorb the wear so the cover doesn't.

No, it wasn't PBS, I guess I got it wrong. But that was a fabulous album, One Nation Underground. ESP certainly was an interesting label with the Fugs, Leary, Sun Ra, Godz, Manson (!), Burroughs...
