So here goes a thought I had. Any one interested in sill sealed records regardless of the music. I go to thrift stores and a majority of times I find records still sealed, like old store inventory. I already have most of what I find so I leave them. I only want something I know I don't have or not sure or hard to find. Most I find are common rock,country, jazz, and so on. I was thinking of picking them up if there was an interest here on this site. I don't know if it's difficult for others to find records. what I pass on someone else might want. so If there is any interest here I'll pick them up. I'm not an Ebay person, but when I get my things in CA. out here this year I might consider it I doubt I'll do it. I will have thousands of doubles to sell cheap to take the transport cost down. Just a thought.

I rarely find any sealed ones. And always from some unknown, though not always talentless artist. However, most of them are sealed Uncle Joe and Aunt Judy Play Your All-time Favorites at the YMCA on the Kazoo. I would love some nice sealed Jazz or Rock. :yes:

If it is unopened and cheap buy it.

I (Heaven Help Me ) was never much of a Beatles fan but some of their stuff was very good nonetheless.When I came across a sealed Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band for $C5.00 ( Canadian Capitol pressing ) at a flea market I grabbed it. I Ebayed it for $76.00 US.

Any and ALL 60's and 70's rock and roll I would be VERY interested in. Even some select stuff from the 80's would be good. Just get all of them...Im sure there sre enough people like myself on AK who really want them. My vinyl collection is very small now and I'm looking to add a lot

Jovinyl:

I am interested in any sealed record. I have a small collection of them and always looking for more. Like you, I see them in the TS's on occasion and I buy every one, no matter the artist.

I will buy all you find and I am sure there are others here who would buy them as well. Or I would swap something you want for them.

I always find empty sleeves or a stack of records with huge chunks taken out of them. never found any sealed.

I find sealed records fairly often at a couple of used records stores I frequent, and even at TS. But can't keep them that way for long. For example, I have a sealed Sneaky Pete Kleinow on Shiloh Records -- how am I going to keep from opening it to hear it? Same urge hits me every time like on a couple of Delbert McClinton and Al Green finds. i guess I have no restraint.

I really do not understand how one could buy a record, take it home and then put it away and never open it. I was always in such a hurry to get them out, put on the turntable and spin them, that I would un-wrap them on the way home such that no time was lost getting them on the turntable. If it was one that was a real favorite the second go round was to record on the reel-to-reel and utilize the tape format for the listening session. I sure miss the record stores that we had at one time with the rows and rows of LP's. I had an advertisement for Needle Doctor on my desk some time back and one of the younger workers told me he had never heard a LP and did not understand why I would still enjoy such an out-dated format. I took some friends to the model air plane museum in Schulenburg on Saturday and the lady asked if any of us had put together model airplaces when we were younger. Do to our ages, we all had models that we had built. She told me that when that question is put to the younger ones, it has always been answered with a "no" except for one time in the two years that she has posed the question. I am always told that "change is good" but there are times that I wonder about that.
