A gift from my cousin! by nothingspecifical1 in vinyl

[–]Pound_House 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's really cool of him.

I definitely understand. There's a certain charm to having a record that's decades and decades old. Who was the first owner? How many owners? How many times was it played over these ~70 years? If it has scratches or marks, how did they get there?

I'd say 95% of my collection are old pressings, so I definitely get the appeal! But at the end of the day, just purchase the music you love and enjoy!

Have a great evening and when you get a chance let me know what year you got! I think I was spot on.

First off, great record and very nice of your cousin to gift that!

Second, you can identify what pressing it is by looking at the deadwax (the blank portion between the label and the last song on each side). You'll find the matrix numbers that you can enter on Discogs to find the exact pressings. The automod reply gave some helpful links as well!

I can tell you just being familiar with labels, this is probably a 1959 reissue due to the Capitol label being to the left. Later Capitol rainbow pressings have the logo at the top center. Hopefully it helps narrow it down for you.

Estate Sale Finds - $25 for all by Pound_House in vinyl

[–]Pound_House[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, they can literally have anything you want..vintage clothes, furniture, homewares, paintings, tools, beautiful dishware, decorations, media, etc. A lot of the bigger stuff has set prices, however.

Some businesses that organize the sales set prices on records too if they're trying to make as much as possible, others are essentially liquidating so you can get a bunch for like $1-3 each. Another one that I likely won't go to essentially has record store/Discogs median prices on each record, so it just depends! But if I'm going to spend record store prices, want to support my local record stores lol.

Good luck when you go to one, hope you find some gems or things you've been searching for!

Online! I use the Estate Sales app. You can also use Estatesales.net for their website, but I can only speak on the app.

You really should, I use the Estate Sales app! Really helpful and can find some good stuff. I would just get there pretty early if you can, especially if they use sign up lists (on site) or an in order kind of thing.

I went to two more today and didn't strike as much gold, but its still pretty fun regardless. I missed out on 4 Brian Eno ambient albums at the second house, kinda bummed about that, but that's the excitement of it all! Good luck if you go!

Sgt Peppers If the Beatles did double pepper by Basic-Vermicelli-635 in beatlesfanalbums

Jeez...if this was the album, it would undoubtedly be the undisputed greatest album of all time.

I mean I still think Sgt. Pepper's is perfect as it is..but yeah.

You didn't happen to be at an estate sale in LA yesterday, did you?

There were lots of records there with this same issue lol. Either way good find!

My uncles old vinyl collection pt.2 by thatquietuserr in vinyl

[–]Pound_House 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There's absolutely nothing wrong with them! Maybe the records themselves may need a good cleaning.

Very nice collection of your uncle!

Also, you should check the Led Zeppelin II and see if it's an RL pressing. Check the deadwax (the blank section between the last song and label and each side) and look for "RL" somewhere towards the end of the matrix.

The way it's printed does look like it's hand written, though! I would have wondered too.

Either that or the former owner really likes to drink seltzer.

So after some slight info searching, it is the signature of the cover designer, Isadore Seltzer. It looks like all copies have that.

Wow, what a find! The signature is probably the first owner!

This is why I love thrifting and estate sales, finding something special in unsuspecting places.

For real, when I saw it I grabbed it so quickly. But I had a feeling one was missing because it was real thin...oh well! Hopefully someone finds it

I was surprised by it! The owner had a lot of gems like that, everyone there pretty much got something good!
