We're going to talk today about vinyl. I'm not going to cover the 78s. Those are a whole
different ball game. That's another drama that we'll go into later...but those are the
kinds that break and are about "this" size. We are going to talk about the kind that we
used to buy in Jimco. These are your LPs, 33 and 1/3. And they are really making a comeback
right now. Every age group is starting to collect vinyl, as they call it. They don't
call it records or LPs. They call it vinyl now and you can find it everywhere. It's very
collectible. More and more people are buying it; record players. So let me talk a little
bit about what you might see and some of the high end things to look for. Okay. The piece
de la resistance, as they say, is this particular album "The Beatles Yesterday and Today." This
is what they call "The Butcher" album cover. This is very famous because when this record
came out in the sixties, somebody had the cute idea to put these little baby parts like
butchered babies and stuff on here. So people started freaking out. So they retrieved all
of these and then, what they did is, they took this album and they slapped this cover
on them. So there are three different, or four different, or five different machinations
of this album. There's the original Butcher album which could be worth up to about fifteen
hundred dollars! So if you see this album, buy it! Buy it! Expert Village, buy it! If
you see this album, this one could be worth something too, but this one is one that may
(I'd have to look), some of them have a label on it. Some of them don't. Some people actually
tear the label off. But the one after that is this one; it's the only label. So you have
three different versions available. If there's a label, under here, it looks like that, buy
it. Excellent. Very famous.
