BZachLaLonde Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Greetings everyone, Just to preface this question, I am a video game collector, not a vinyl collector, so I know very little about thia topic. However, I was in a Goodwill in NH yesterday going through their vinyl when I came across a record in an orange sleeve. The sleeve had the letters WUNH on both sides, which is the University of New Hampshire radio station. There was also a stamp on it that said "WUNH Discard" in some spots. The record itself is from the band "The Silos" and looks to be a radio station broadcast from Santa Monica, California in 1990. The words "Not For Sale" are on the label, too. I took some pictures of it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwIv3DjhJrpsT0F4WDk1dEhTQ0k/view?usp=docslist_api https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwIv3DjhJrpsWnVEREZncjhSRHM/view?usp=docslist_api My question is, what exactly is this? I'm assuming it was used at UNH for their radio station broadcast in the '90s. Is this cool or rare at all, or is it just a junky old record? I know from collecting video games that stuff marked for discard and "not for sale" can be important, so I thought the same might apply to vinyl. Let me know any info you may have about this! I'm not looking to make a bunch of money. Rather, I know how it is trying to complete collections. I'd love for this to get into the hands of someone who would love this. Thank you all in advance!

youspinmeround Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 You clearly identified the record. It's a radio station promo copy. Discogs shows it has sold for an average of 2.79 TheGhostOfRandySavage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discogs shows it has sold for an average of 2.79 Thanks for the curt (and kind of rude) reply. As I stated in my post, I know almost nothing about vinyl. I could clearly tell it was a radio station copy, but doing my own research led to no information. I didn't know "Discogs" was a thing. Thanks for the warm welcome.

mindovermatter Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Sorry we didn't have better news about your newfound vinyl portfolio. Perhaps future thrift stores will have more luck in regards to your future investments. Duff, Han Solo and thebilljim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apirk Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I have a few Silos records, they are pretty good if you like rootsy Rock n roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't like or collect vinyl, you bought a piece of junk at goodwill and came here to see if you hit the jackpot. So why would you even care if anyone was rude to you? Aren't you going to leave now anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the news says vinyl has made a comeback so everything must be worth a nice return. Beats the tanking stock market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why would you even care if anyone was rude to you? Aren't you going to leave now anyways? I just wanted to learn a little more about records and vinyl, specifically this one. So far, I've learned about a site called Discogs which will help me in the future. I was pretty clear in my first post about not looking to make money or "find that big jackpot." I live in New Hampshire guys, I'm never expecting to find a big score. As a collector myself, I really came here to find out two things: 1) Are vinyl that are marked "discard" and "not for sale/resale" typically important? 2) If they are, would anyone be interested in the one I found? I don't know if I missed something, but I wasn't trying to start anything. Now that I know that tips for collecting video games don't really transfer over to vinyl, and that I have a site to look information to my heart's content, and that my record won't be appreciated by someone else way more than I will appreciate it, I think my questions have been answered.

All the records I have are Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and the like so this will be a nice change of pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm gonna take a listen to it, I heard some of their stuff on YouTube and it wasn't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebilljim Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Whereabouts in New Hampshire are you? If you like digging through stacks of records for most older stuff, there's a place in Manchester (Thrifty's Second Hand Stuff) that has a pretty enormous collection. I rarely find anything there to my liking, but I'm also rarely looking for anything older than the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
