Would love to hear it! That was one fun things about moving to the opposite coast: lots of new weird local records to discover.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:22pm
Rich in Washington:

I tend to buy any self-produced or short-run looking vanity record whenever I see them, wherever I go. You just never know. Many of them are too good to be bad to be of any good.
We might be the only people on earth who bring a record up the the register and say "I sure hope this is bad!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:23pm
Rich in Washington:

OR at least unique. That's not to say that it has to be 'bad'.
Avatar 1:24pm
Tony Coulter:

I've got rows and rows of the stuff. We should trade bad records.
  1:24pm
MrFab:

Ha! yes, those professional-sounding vanity records are a disappointment. These things go in waves. Moog albums I used to buy for 50 cents go for $50 now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:26pm
coelacanth:

both the local record stores here have "local" sections. i was informed no one ever buys any of it.
our town has a substantial section on bandcamp and i buy lots of sound from it, so i looked in the stores, but sure enough nothing looked interesting.
(at least not for >$3.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:29pm
Rich in Washington:

@coelacanth: thriftstores, esp. corporate charity ones, seem to have picked up on the resurgence of records, so their pricing of 3+ makes buying weird records on a whim seem less attractive - it sort of kills that exploratory spirit.
Avatar 1:30pm
Tony Coulter:

@ MrFab: On the other hand, Exotica records that used to be $30 have dropped back down to $5. It's just like the stock market.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:31pm
Rich in Washington:

I find the best weird records in really out-of-the-way rural or coastal thrift shops. It's rare, but when you do find something, it is usually pretty unique
Avatar 1:31pm
V Priceless:

hey fish!
  1:32pm
MrFab:

I noticed that Tony - a few years ago, I bought an Esquivel record for a buck at a thrift. I was like: hey, they're back!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:32pm
Rich in Washington:

@Tony, @Fab: the youngsters buying records now seem to have no interest in the genres of yore.
Was noting with amusement that on Reddit/vinyl, there was this thread that Exotica as a genre is 'hella racist'.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:33pm
Rich in Washington:

I blame those Incredibly Strange music books for the 90s/00s Exotica bubble.
  1:35pm
MrFab:

What vinyl are the youngsters buying, then? Just new releases? Because 60s garage and psych, 70s funk, and 80s SST-type indie records have skyrocketed in value (which is why I'm selling 'em!)
Avatar 1:37pm
Tony Coulter:

@ MrFab: I think there definitely is a hardcore youngster segment lusting after the genres you mention. Others want mid-period Fleetwood Mac or Led Zeppelin. Or, if they're really cutting edge, they want Paul Simon's "Graceland" on cassette.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:38pm
coelacanth:

there used to be a store, the "a.r.c. thrift"store in nj (plainfield?) that had a medium-size room full of records. 69¢each. i must've bought hundreds of albums from there; but unfortunately didn't then know what i think i know now.
Avatar 1:41pm
Tony Coulter:

Plainfield was probably a great place to find interesting records, just because the distributor Jem was located there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:42pm
Rich in Washington:

@MrFab: that's true, too. I've put out some rare-ish 80s New Wave or Punk records, of the popular variety, and had them go pretty fast.
But in my experience with the thrift digging scene, it seems like youngsters get really excited by some really mundane, relatively common records.
Avatar 1:42pm
Tony Coulter:

Or wait -- they were in South Plainfield. is that a different place?
Avatar 1:46pm
Cecile:

I think the kids when they are starting out, want the slightly obscure stuff. The more they continue digging, the more they'll wan the obscurities. Back in the day, I was excited to find the new Tom Petty album used!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:47pm
coelacanth:

south plainfield is right next to plainfield, but i don't recall there being much stuff there from them. (i do remember trying to get a job at jem,to no avail)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:50pm
coelacanth:

mostly what i got in that store was 60s rock and 60s-70s r&b. i'm happy i got all that, but i'd bet there were tons of jewels in there that i didn't recognise then.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:51pm
listener james from westwood:

Copyediting all the more happily for today's fine tunes.
  1:52pm
MrFab:

Sounds like you smartly picked some lucrative genres there coelacanth,
  1:54pm
MrFab:

So how should we be investing? I'm assuming those Barry Manilow records won't go up, but I do see obscure power-pop/new wave, and '80s college rock in the bargain bins. And I'm surprised how plentiful and cheap Cramps-ian early rock records are. Might pay to be bullish on those.
Avatar 1:54pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Listener James: Glad you're enjoying the tunes. I'll be careful not to play anything that will turn your editorial finger into a slashing instrument of destruction.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:58pm
coelacanth:

i do have,i figure, maybe 1000 albums to get rid of; but most of those 60s' rock and about 1/2 the r&b i don't want to part with...although for the right sum i'd transfer it to cd and let it go.

Clean copies of Barry records and early pressings might be desirable for the die hards.

@ MrFab: Defintely go for the obscure power pop/new wave LPs. And, of course, the haircuts and ties make them easy to spot.
