Oldies records
 

I'm new here and was looking for a place to discuss oldies with fellow music lovers. I love motown, nothern soul and soul in general. Also love other genres like classic rock, blues and jazz. Also have started collecting vinyl and just wanted to share my collection so far and also share the records I wish I could get my hands on. Also would love to hear about others collections and what's on their wish list!

I really want Stranger At My Door by the Fuller Brothers and Can Hardly See My Way by Danny Sandoval both very rare!

Youtubes of a few 45s I own:

"Moonflower" is one hell of an album.

Please Baby Please-The Realistics...It Won't Hurt-The O'Jays...Crying Won't Help You Now-Clyde McPhatter,are three that I'm looking for.

Only when your lonely - The Royalettes

Very nice everyone.... I like records alot!!!!! (Analogue is goregous)

I like records,8 tracks and cassettes :)

Anthologies also can be a lot of fun,I'm a cassette guy so I make lots of greatest hits things.

I try to get earlier cassettes before they started putting that dolby crap on them WHICH ISNT NEEDED!!!

If you have an-Oldies Store in your area,make use of it and don't be afraid to test their knowledge,because some of those guys don't know too much.

The guys who run an oldies record store don't know too much?

Surprisingly some dont!!

I found a first release of an album ON CASSETTE (Ampex - 1970) and they didnt know it was the first!! (They had it marked at 3.00)

So any album, if it's the first album, on a near dead medium such as cassette, has to be worth more than $3? That actually sounds like they priced it too high. 98% of cassettes are worth a dollar or less.

Also, it could be clearance. I out out records for less than $5 that are worth more than $10 because they've sat around forever.

Ya ya could be right buddy (About clearence) -- This was at a reg record store.......

I said-SOME don't know much,I've been to a few that didn't know as much as they should've.

I hear ya..All I know is its beautiful to get a goregous piece of analogue media for so cheap!!!!!!! (I feel guilty taking it so cheap to be frank about it)

I am a dire analogue lover :)

Don't feel bad bro,get em while you can..I'm always on the lookout for a bargain.

I recently found the gem[It'll Never Be Over For Me-Baby Washington].

^ Ouch! I wonder how close you were to getting a permaban for that post, Clefsong ;)

I guess by now you know that Exo runs a second-hand record shop: https://www.musicbanter.com/members-...cord-shop.html

So do you walk in an Oldies Store and immediately give them the first degree, perhaps waterboard him to see how much he knows, or do you make conversation and try to get to know the shopkeeper first?
