Images of strange & unusual vinyl records!

These records are from my collection of thrift store and other "junk" records.
Most of these are records that mainstream collectors consider
too insignificant to bother with. You be the judge!

A few other Weird record sites - not very current

This site is devoted to my collection of weird records.

I started collecting records many years ago. The problem was, there were so many other "collector nerds" where I lived that finding "good" records at thrift stores & garage sales was next to impossible. No matter how early I got to the sale, there was a bigger nerd who was there 15 minutes earlier and bought all the so-called "good" stuff.

I noticed that when a collector nerd looks through a box of old records at a thrift store, he will often pull out some 70's religious disco exercise record, make some sort of witty remark about it's lameness to his bored girlfriend, and toss it back while grumbling how you can't find good records at thrift stores anymore.

I began to notice that often these "rejects" were just as good as the more widely sought-after items. This is what I started to collect!

Some of these records are actually quite good, if one takes the time to listen. Though I admit there are a few here that one can accurately say, there is no POSSIBLE way this record will be worth listening to. Some are kind of funny for a minute or two. The majority are just "average", not particularly good, but not laughably awful. Of course it's those laughably awful records that are the real gems!

--Let me know what you think! I try to respond to all comments, but this site has become disturbingly popular lately & I don't always have time to respond to everybody. If you are going to send pictures, please keep them small. Although the records on this page are from my own collection, I like to see what else is out there.

I have been amazed by the number of folks who have emailed me after seeing their record on my page. So far they have all been nice about it. I love it! It amazes me that my site is one of the few places on the internet with any documentation of these artists. Check the Feedback page to see some of the people I've heard from!
