Fun! I love a storage space full of mysteries. Can't beat it!
Thanks, Dom. I’ll be “Seeking a gem 💎” or gems for a while it looks like. Thanks for stopping by!
My heart always beats faster when I’m about to dig through a pile of records. Especially if they are 45s 😂. Really enjoyed that. Thanks 👍
Hahaha! Hello there. I know what you mean. I get a rush of excitement when I see records to dig through. I still remember the excitement of running through the grocery store at 5 years old heading for the toy isle 😂. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy! It’s only going to get better.
Amazing the great shape the records are in, look brand new, so fun and lots to discover
Hi Monie! You’re right. Condition of most of these records, even the old ones has been pretty amazing. Lots of fun discovering what’s in these boxes. Thanks for watching.
Hi Steve, just discovered your channel. Some cool stuff in there, Paul Revere, Keef Harley Band! Loads of fun digging through a collection like that… thanks for bring us along. Liked and subbed 👌 Cheers, Jack
Hello there, Jack! Great to meet you! I dig your channel bio! I too love talking all things music related! So far it’s been fun and rewarding. I subbed you back and I’ll be checking out your videos too. We appreciate you joining us on the fun exciting digs. I’m loving minty Keef Harley Band pull. Take care, ✌🏽Steve
You lucky dog. It'll be fun to watch the channel grow. I'm waiting for more stuff from the 50s.
Thank you, Richard! Enjoy our new adventures. We greatly appreciate your support.
Hi Richard I just noticed that wasn’t subscribed to your channel through my new channel The Vinyl Record Mission. I just subbed your channel. Sorry for the confusion.
Much fun to be had. Something to interest everyone.
Hi Mark. You’re right about the variety of music in this locker. It seems to be a very diverse mix. I like that. See you on the next dig.
Steve
Very cool!
Than you, Bob! It’s going to be fun fun fun!
Wow,,,,very well kept vinyl,,i would love too go threw all those gems😮
Thanks for watching! So far it’s been a lot of fun going through these. Appreciate you virtual digging with us! ✌🏽🍻
You have great stack! Thumbs up! Trish
Thank you, Trish.
Hi Steve subscribed and enjoyed the flip. Keep em coming 👍
Hi Rob! Thanks for the sub! I’ll get you back. Cheers to you!
Interesting to see what you pull out of there.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m very excited about going through this mountain of records. See you on future digs.
Wow ! I'm in San Francisco, I can be there in 10 hours... LoL !! 😊 So cool, I love these kinds of record videos
Hey there JT! Thanks for subscribing!
I subbed you back buddy. I’m super excited about this opportunity! It’ll be great to hear your thoughts on these record digs I’ll be doing, for who knows how long. Take care.
Steve
come to ohio for some hot fun instead lol
Hey Steve, good luck on the new CZcams endeavor 😊
Thank you FVA! I’m really excited about this new chapter of my life. I get to hang out with my best friend, Ryan, doing what brought us together as best buds!
Cool
Gentlemen, this is going to be fantastic. I can't believe that locker!! I'm really looking forward to this massive dig! I'd love to get my paws on those 45's! Nice Japanese pressing of Major! Beautiful jukebox jacket. That's a great Ziggy album! The Ray Charles Story albums are fantastic. I own all of them! WAIT - You passed Ms. Escovedo 😞The radio station Al Green promo is great. Was that a sealed copy of Blind Man's Zoo? This is fantastic; I can't wait until the next installment. Cheers, my friend.
I’m going to be digging there for a while. I’ll be lucky to get over there once a week at best maybe twice a month. I had to leave a lot behind. I need to find a cheap portable to go through all those 45s.
I just discovered your channel. Subbed you up! Incredible storage locker. I could certainly do some damage to my bank account going thru all of those boxes! 😂👍
Ryan and I are best friends. I know what you mean. My coming over here to dig once a week could be worse than a stock market crash on my 403b 😂. Lucky for me I have a large personal collection of my own of very sellable records that Ryan accepts in trade for whatever I want to take home with me. No money ever changes hands between us. Thank you for watching and commenting. We appreciate your support.
Steve
What a find and really enjoyed watching. Oh and just subbed your channel.
Thank you, George! Glad you enjoy it! It’s only going to get better. I subbed you back. Cheers.
Un verdadero tesoro felicidades wue los disfrutes y que lleguen muchos más, te mando un abrazote desde Zacatecas México.
¡Muchas gracias por ver todo el camino desde la hermosa Zacatecas, México! Sus amables palabras y deseos son muy apreciados.
I check these records/artists i don,t know on youtube such a joy
👍🏽👍🏽✌🏽
So far.. I like all of the records in box #1 that you put off to the side. Did you take that Batdorf & Rodney ? I grew up with these guys in Vegas. Ahmed Ertegun signed them to Atlantic, gave them 2 Martin guitars, and a 100 dollars, cause they were flat broke driving out to LA from Las Vegas in John's VW Bug ! Marks Dad was the famous Red Rodney that played with Bird and Dizzy.. moved to Vegas for the work on the strip"..🎵
Batdorf & Rodney is still there. What a cool story that is! I have some Red Rodney in my Jazz collection. He’s a fantastic trumpet player!
Yeah.. Mark went to my high school
Valley HS. He is such an outstanding 2nd guitarist for John's nice songs. They recorded their debut at Muscle Shoals, and predated America's big impact( debut ) by a few months ! CSN is really the originators of that acoustic folk rock, though..
@@jtsrecordroom3963 I have their first Atlantic lp on a white label promo. It’s a phenomenal record that basically went unnoticed in 72. They should have been bigger. Every song is good.
Right.. Their 1st album was 1970, actually. Yeah, my copy is my OG that I bought shortly after the album release
They were well known in the smaller city of Las Vegas, because they had lived there up until their signing in LA by Ahmed to Atlantic ! Thanks for getting back to me.
You passed a bunch of valuable stuff
Thanks for pointing that out. Please do tell lol. We don’t claim to know everything. I completely understand if you don’t want to share. We eventually get around to checking everything. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I recognized your shirt New Mexico!
Hahaha! Right fellow New Mexican. Both Ryan and I have homes in Taos! It’s Heaven up there! Peace DJchancia!
that ziggy marley record is one of my favorite. as you may know im not a sammy hagar fan and happy to hear you arent either. man this overwhelms me. have fun dude. will be fun watching.
Hey Steve! Thanks for checking us out! I hope you enjoy these digs. So far it seems like fun for the entire family lol. I look at hundreds of cases of wine and liquor at work so I guess this doesn’t look much different than that to me. The overwhelming part for me is moving these 60 pound sons of guns around every week. I guess I could consider it working out 🏋️ lol. Get my fat arse in shape. I would have loved if all that hagar were halen! That Ziggy record is a great one. We appreciate your support. See ya around, Steve
Instant Sub, and a great new rummage nicely filmed. Looking good but may need a bit of side salad sometimes 👍; )
😂😂😜 Too good, Stevie, too good! Thanks for subscribing and making me laugh as always. Cheers
Boz Scaggs & Band is the best one... hope you scored it!
Yes Sir I did. You got talent David. I subbed your channel. Great stuff!
Hello Record million
Hi Im Trish First time video and subscriber.
Hello Trish! Nice to meet you! Enjoy our vinyl adventures. Cheers
Steve
Holy moly, some very cool records and a lot of them looking minty fresh. Looking forward to seeing future flip videos.
Thank you for watching and commenting. It’s going to be fun flipping through all these records. See you on the next dig. 😊✌🏽
Aw, man! I love Tennessee Ernie Ford. Okay, his religious stuff is pretty cheesy, but check out his 1965 re-recording of 16 Tons, it's almost garage rock.
Looking forward to seeing what else you find.
Cheers - Hedley
Damn! Did I miss that one!? Good thing is we’re dating all the boxes to correspond with the video dates. I know exactly where to find it. Thank you for looking out for us. I love that song Sixteen Tons! Cheers!
Steve
Hello VRM! This looks to be a very interesting channel and am excited to learn of you. But is there any way you can slow the rapid-flip down just a little - enough for the brain to recognize everything? It's even challenging to hit the pause on what the eye is able to catch. Thanks, and good luck on your new channel!!!
Hello there, M2M! You are absolutely correct to ask us to slow down the flip. I just realized it after I posted my second dig video that I was pushing too fast. I will definitely slow it down for future videos. Thank you so much for politely asking. We really do appreciate you watching and subscribing. Thank you for your input. See you on future digs. Take care.
Steve & Ryan.
and here I thought the Pumping Vinyl record was a myth; a mere CZcamsr gone awry. #alwayslearning
Two of the no less! Good looking out! 😉
Just about to watch the video but my initial thought is that someone who amasses tens of thousands of records is more likely to be a hoarder than a collector, so the quality is likely to be, uh, variable. Ok, let's roll VT and see! 😀
Edit:
Actually better than I was expecting! Would have totally picked up that Blue Phantom LP 👍
I’ve added some great records to my personal collection since digging through Ryan’s inventory. He’s definitely not a hoarder. He makes a great living buying and selling records. I’m lucky to be like a brother to him. That Armando SciaScia Phantom Record is a killer! Do you know about Armando’s other recordings?
With the intense heat in California how do you store these so they don’t warp? That is going to take you some time to research
Kind of an old wives tale. I’m not saying records don’t warp in intense heat, however we’ve yet to experience that and we’ve been buying record collections out of Southern California storage units and desert garages for many years. There’s been very few instances where we came across some warped records in a collection but never has an entire collection been warped. There’s always a chance we’ll get a few warped records but if and when we do they are usually really thin flimsy vinyl. At the prices we pay, a few warped records out of thousands is not a deterrent. Great question, Steve
@@TheVinylRecordMission vinyl can take some heat, but direct sunshine is the killer. Kept in shade, vinyl will be ok up to 110 or so.
I would like these Nat King Cole records
You’re right about that brother Joey! Those are some beautiful Nat King Cole records! You have impeccable taste in music my friend. NKC is one of the best crooners of all time.
@@TheVinylRecordMission It is awesome you getting back into selling records. I would love to talk to you about that business. Thank you for your time and always many blessings
Soooooooooooooooo Siccccccckkk ! I would make one long session of it all and call it my vacation.
Hahaha 😂 I’ve had a hard time leaving. Just like you said, I could dig here until I got through everything or hurt myself lol. Unfortunately and fortunately I have a full time job. I can only get out here once a week. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers.
Steve
If you find any Virgin Vinyl Direct to Disc, i would be very interested in a list.
Hello. You mean like Sheffield Lab type of pressings?
Vert cool. Instant sub. Are you reopening the shop?
Thanks for subbing. We subbed you back. Unfortunately we’re not reopening the shop. We’re just sharing what we do and find. Ryan is however open to selling records that we find in our digs. We haven’t quite thought that far ahead yet lol. But feel free to reach out in the comments if something interests you. I’m going back to dig this Sunday. I hope to have the video posted by Tuesday. Take care.
Steve & Ryan
@TheVinylRecordMission thanks for the sub. I'll keep an eye out.
Most collections don't have a mixture of Rita Coolidge, Ray Conniff, and Pink Floyd. That's a store. Most collections are specialized especially if large.
Man I would love a crack at that storage unit. I have almost that many records myself. It’s a disease
Hahaha. My name is Steve and I’m a RA. lol. I have that same disease, Greg. Thanks for checking us out.
Steve
That Al Green lp you flipped by is a $100+ record
Thanks for noticing and letting us know. I was excited but then let down when I found the incorrect album inside. I was disappointed. Thanks for watching and you have a great eye. Take care.
Steve
You know you got a good box when you stop pulling records out of it. It is easier to leave all those good ones in the box then pull em out.
Warner Bros compilations are good
My names Anthony I live in Yucaipa I’m the San Bernardino area I’m in and around Ontario all the time, please let me know if it’s possible about any collections I can look through again only if that’s possible in any way, or please let me know if anything at all is possible, regarding some sort of hook ups haha.
We can totally appreciate your enthusiasm and desire to dig. However these collections we acquire are for our own personal use. In addition we just don’t have the time to open things up to the public. Ryan is open to selling anything we don’t keep for ourselves. We’re working on setting up our Instagram page so viewers can message us about records they see in the videos they may want to purchase. Stay tuned.
Steve
@@TheVinylRecordMission no problem my friend, I’m honestly happy for you guys, may you’re treasure quests be prosperous!!
@@arzabael We appreciate your understanding brother. Thank you for your support. We are going to try and hook up our Instagram for selling records. So stay tuned.
More love for SAMMY HAGAR next time please. 😉haha
Sorry 🫢 You’re absolutely right! Sammy is a great dude and a fabulous artist! I’m going to show more for him from now on as well as for every musical artist. Each and every one of those artists in this storage is loved by millions of fans. Who am I to judge that. Thank you for humbling me. It’s very cool of you to do it in a vey kind and respectful way. ✌🏽🫶🏽💪🏽😎
Steve
records are in mint condition from the looks of its appearance?
Hello Paul. Many of the records are I amazing condition. Appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to comment.
Steve
Where does one go to see your "for sale" items?
Hello there Audio Nonsense. Thanks for watching. Here is a link to Ryan’s eBay page.

How do you manage to find out there is a pile of records hiding behind a storage door....Oh My records lying flat...there is a pile of warped records my oh my, how do you find the time to go through all those...took me 2.5 months between work and family to put 1400 records in discogs
Hello there DSOTP. Ryan actually bought these large collections and put them in storage. The stacked records you saw were fine meaning no warps. We know not to stack salvageable records that way. Ryan does this full time and sells loads on eBay. I dig there once a week. It is very time consuming and labor intensive as you know but we love it. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Check out our other videos to see what cool records we’ve found in these massive acquisitions. Take care.
Steve
Hopefully you will find some rare stuff.
Thank you happy hippy. So far so good. I found a $1,000.00 grail 45 last Monday along with a bunch of other great 45s and some nice LP which included a few minty Beatles albums. Thanks for watching. Take care.
@TheVinylRecordMission Wow, that's incredible. Congratulations, brother. Someone just gave me 5 slayer picture disc albums, I don't care for them but it will bring some cash.
@@happyhippythevinylguy Congrats to you too. Five Slayer albums! That should bring a nice feast to the table. Right on!!
The problem with buying large collections at a decent price is that usually around 90% of the albums are going to end up in my $1 to $5 bins (or the local landfill). Unless you're very lucky, be prepared to put out a lot of cash when buying from a discriminate collector of rock and/or jazz. Those collections of higher end mostly near mint LPs are few and far between.
I understand what you mean, Randy. Ryan is very resourceful and well connected in the community. He sells all his bulk garbage to an Artist by name of George Monfils. George does some incredible work. Check out the link below to see where thousands of Ryan’s unsellable records end up. Ryan sell thousands of records to George for ten cents a piece.

Bonjour, j'ai vue dans le dernier carton que vous aviez des disques de soul funk cela est possible de faire une expédition pour la France merci beaucoup cdlt 🎶👍😎
Hello. Unfortunately we do not ship outside the USA. Thank you for inquiring and watching.
Hi guys I love your show I saw collection of Andreas vollenwieder how much please sell it for me q
Please message Ryan on our Instagram page The Record Mission. He can arrange a private listing for you on eBay so you can purchase whatever records you desire.
Thank you,
Steve
Low ball kings
Anyone who’s ever been successful in this business knows when to lowball which is actually not lowballing at all. When you know it’s not a mound of solid gold you don’t offer gold prices. Occasionally we take a gamble. I’ve bought entire collections and gave the seller thousands because I knew there were records in the collection to justify that value. I’ve never met anyone who paid full retail for collections as large as these. Kings! We’ll take it. 😁. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care.
Hmm. Cherry picking the few not worth $1 by placing them aside. You do that so you know the minimum amount the whole collection is worth as the rest is junk. No secret there
@marklazarewicz1646 For guys like you I can see your point and more power to you, Mark. We’ve always lived (and have always thrived and prospered) by the old adage “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” 😂 Besides we’re having fun doing what we love. No crime in that. ✌🏽
@@TheVinylRecordMission I'm happy for you I've done it myself I'm also a real collector not a flipper only. I won't lie I like cheap finds myself and am envious of the those that get leads imo mostly record store owners first. I find the business to be similar to used car salesman 😉 ie dishonesty. Lots if blow hard record store owners claim they pay 25 to 50 percent retail but in reality it's pennies on the dollar. Why do I care? I put in my will under no circumstances should my 100k collection be picked through by a reseller like you🤣🤣🤔😉. Give it Goodwill first that way you have to pay at least $2 A record for crap records 😉
@marklazarewicz1646 Hahaha. I need to put that in my will. “Under no circumstances let anyone like me or Ryan pick through my collection” 🤣. It’s a tough racket. I’ve spent many years and a lot of lost dollars on my record knowledge education. I over paid for garbage in my early overzealous years. I learned more about what not to buy than what to buy. There is a certain margin we all have to work within and that includes a huge margin for error. We have much in common, Mark. I greatly appreciate your opinions and I’m glad we can civilly discuss the topic. Peace brother.
Steve
Do you have a list? hahahah
lol Hi Jeanl. . . I wish we had the time. Ryan has an eBay where he eventually lists many of these records. Let me know if you’re interested I’ll send you a link. Thank you for watching. Take care.
Steve
How much for the Richard Petty?
I’ll check with Ryan and get back to you. Thank you for subscribing and watching our video. I subbed you back. Take care, Steve.
He said $10.00 + $5.00 shipping. So $15.00 total.
@@TheVinylRecordMission ok. where, how to send payment?- JT
@@SoIMarriedARecordCollector Hi JT. Venmo or Zelle. I looked at the vinyl closer today. Boy are you going to be please. Is Venmo or Zelle good for you?
@@TheVinylRecordMission never used either of those and usually use PayPal. Would that work for you? Let me know :) Otherwise I'll open a Venmo- JT
I can't imagine what else is in those boxes that I may want
If you don't find any Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, or other sought after groups or artists in a purchased collection, chances are someone has already beat you to the punch and cherry picked through it.
Hi Randy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re very aware of the situation. One lesson we’ve learned over the course of many years of doing this is we’ve had to humble ourselves incredibly in order to learn a priceless lesson. That lesson is no matter how much we think we know, we’re always reminded of how much we don’t know when we dig through acquisitions such as these. We haven’t lost money buying a record collection in 20 years. We’re very savvy when it comes to pricing. There’s soooo much more to collecting records than Zeppelin, Floyd, Dead Heads etc. We’re not afraid to work hard and dig deep. I’ve learned so much about music, super rare uncommon artists and acquired some of my rarest records digging through heaping piles of what many would run away from. We appreciate your thoughts. Take care.
Steve
And no single metal album.
Hopefully they didn't get too hot in there...
Hello Master! So far so good! We’ve had 7 digs and seen thousands of records and only 1 or 2 records have been warped. More than likely they were warped before we bought them. Thanks for checking us out! You should have a look at our other videos and see the great records we’re pulling out of there. Take care!
Steve
How do we find u on eBay?

You won’t always see the records from our CZcams videos on Ryan’s eBay right away. If you’re interested in something in the videos send us a message on Instagram. The link is below.

Depends on where you live and what your tastes in music are. In small towns, I typically find old country music, watered-down pop, and religious garbage. So you spend countless hours going through junk to discover a few pearls. If that's your idea of 'fun', go for it. Many times the cover art is far superior to the music inside.
Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Every word you said is 100% spot on correct 👍🏽. I understand from where you’re coming. We really enjoy what we do, we always have. Fortunately for Ryan and I we have the financial means, time, necessary mindset and passion for this kind of ‘fun’. Over the years we’ve both built what to us are amazing personal collections and we’ve done it many pearls at a time as well as a few pearls at a time. Take care.
Steve and Ryan
@@TheVinylRecordMission Totally a mindset and I really dig what you guys do! Just for me, it is too much of a time wh*re and the constant disappointment of local music tastes. However, anytime I go somewhere and there's a bin/stack of records, I go through them all....lol. Maybe the definition of 'insanity'. I have found many pearls but weighed against the time involved..........🙄
@@TheReal1953 Lol. I’m guilty of that too. My wife rolls her eyes at me all the time.
@@TheVinylRecordMission You're keeping a lot more than I would have....lol. This is tough...I'm not really looking for anything in particular. I find things I like just by going through stacks like this. I realized a few years ago that owning thousands of records means you're never going to listen to them all. If you do the math and assume you listen to on average two albums a day, it takes yrs and yrs to work through a big collection. Most folks are not doing that; they listen to and rotate favorites. It's not really tenable, but I do it anyway.....madness.
Thereal: Religious garbage? Perhaps not much monetary value but valuable to those who believe.
Most of these look like what we call dollar records, hopefully you did not pay much if the other boxes are much the same.
Hi Mike. We been doing this for 20+ years. We never pay too much only too little 😂. Early on when I first started buying big collections I over paid a few times. I quickly learned my lesson and taught Ryan how to avoid the mistakes I made. We’re into these collections so cheaply they might as well have been given to us for free. Did you see the Thousand Dollar 45 I pulled out of there last Monday April 15th? I also pulled over $400.00 worth of other 45s in that same dig. We’ve got thousands more 45s to go through. I only went through 150 45s so far.
See you on the next dig. Take care.
Steve
@@TheVinylRecordMission Did not see the other video, but when you buy in bulk and pay 'peanuts' per vinyl you tend to make a profit most of the time.
@@miketomlin6040 That’s all we know how to do. It took years of self funded education (if you know what mean) but it paid off.
How the hell are the viewers supposed to participate in this dig when you speed through the boxes at 100x speed. It's like watching 20 minutes of blur....
You’re absolutely right. Our apologies. Moving forward I’m going to slow it down for the viewers. Thank you so much for expressing your feelings to us. Take care.
Steve and Ryan
Lots of meh right there.
A whole lot of nothing.
Sounds like a whole lot of jealousy 😮
