Back in July 2020 I posted a Record Collection Thread where I had taken pictures of all the records I have. There was around 104 records or so total. I wanted again to take pictures of all the records I have and try to keep it updated when I get new ones. I now have 230 records in my main collection! One reason for wanting to have pictures of all them is so I can easily look and see what I have and also look them up and see which ones if any are selling for a decent amount.
I obviously don't need them all and haven't even listened to a large majority of them. When I'm out and see ones that interest me I pick them up if they are only $1 or $2. Take a look through them if you have the time and tell me what you think. Good or bad
I've come across a unique record in my collection.
I originally purchased it just because I thought it had a cool looking cover. I have been looking up all my records to get a rough value of each one but when I came to this one I couldn't find any information. I could find the Amy Grant album Find a Way but it had an entirely different cover.
The only place I could find it was on discogs where there is one available for sale for about $250! Now I know that doesn't necessarily mean it is worth that much. On the have want section it says 3 people have it and 17 people want it which means it must be kind of rare. Turns out it is a BBC Radioplay album.
At the top of the disc it says "Copyright Record Made In England Not Available to the public" I found this information about these types of records.
BBC Radioplay Music Library produced a series of Radioplay LPs & CDs exclusive to the British Broadcasting Corporation for use in its radio broadcasts. BBC Radioplay LPs & CDs were produced solely for broadcast by BBC radio stations and featured recordings that were free from Copyright, containing tracks recorded by the BBC (or partner organisations in Europe, USA etc). A number were live recordings, but there are also versions of well known songs recorded in the radio stations studios.
I need to look into it a bit more but hopefully I've found one record that could possibly pay for the whole collection!
These were all $1.50 apiece. With Age of Aquarius I do have two other copies but this one is in much nicer condition and has a gatefold cover which I don't think the other two do. Midnight Sun - No parking on the dance floor I had never heard of before but I played a few tracks and it is a pretty good album.
The most interesting ones are in the second picture. They appear to all be DJ albums. One is from 1990 while the other are from around 2006 and 2007. I've only ever come across one DJ record before.(It is in the 7th picture last one in top row) Most all of my other records are obviously older stuff so it is kind of interesting to have some with somewhat recent rap on them. They are SUPER BASS heavy. If you had a really good system these things would pound. It is the most bass I've ever heard come from a record.
Picked up a couple of good ones today including THRILLER! It isn't the Thriller album it is the "Special 12" Dance Single" with Thriller on one side and Thriller Instrumental on the other. I was really surprised to find it at Goodwill since usually any albums of popular artists usually go online. While I was looking through the records an employee came by and put a couple albums on the shelf. That is how I got Thriller and Sheela E.
Some good vinyl there Cal. Sheila E ! Romance 1600 is another good album by Sheila if you find it "A Love Bizarre" is on that where she sings with Prince. Id also check out the other Prince associated groups if you come across them as some aren't on streaming services. Jill Jones, The Family, Vanity 6, Apolllonia 6, The Time, Mazarati, Madhouse.
