Rock n’ Roll is a type of music that became popular in the late 1940’s, early 1950s and 1960’s. The musical genre had its start from blues, gospel and jazz music that became popular among African American audiences. Although, it was influenced by the blues, it featured electrically amplified guitars, harmonicas and drums.
At the same time, black gospel music became popular and were labeled as “Rhythm and Blues” which as we know today is the popular R & B genre. Rock n’ Roll and R & B continued to grow in popularity because they were featured in small clubs, radio stations and on the television program, American Bandstand. Most parents of the young teenagers in the 1950’s and 1960’s didn’t approve of Rock n’ Roll or R & B because it had suggestive dancing, provacative lyrics and was loud and upbeat. Despite parents rejecting the genre, it continued to grow.
Frequently Asked Questions
The best place to sell Rock vinyl records are record collectors, antique collectors, auctions and local record stores. If you’re looking to sell your old Rock vinyl record collection quickly for the most cash, it’s typically better to sell to a record collector or antique collector. They will typically offer more money for your Rock vinyl records than a local record store. If you have time on your hand, you can always auction your Rock vinyl records to the highest bidder.
Your old Rock vinyl record collection worth is dependent on the status of your records. Also, you must take into account the artist, year, title and record condition. Vinyl record grading is important when performing record valuation.
Play Grading is when you place the vinyl record on a turntable and listen very closely to the sound quality, watch for skipping and other sound defects. Visual Grading is when you use a particular light source at a short distance away from the record as you inspect it. Halogen and direct natural sunlight work best.
After your Rock vinyl record is inspected, it will receive a vinyl record grading from Mint condition to poor condition.
You can find out the worth of your Rock vinyl records by searching online, viewing current auction house records or contacting a record collector for vinyl record grading. When your Rock vinyl record is worth money, remember to take into account the state of the record such as play grading.
The amount your Rock vinyl record is worth depends on several factors like artist, title, year, record scarcity, commercial / promo records, autographed copies and sealed records. For instance, a sealed record could be worth more than a highly played record with poor grading. In fact, sealed unopened Rock records are highly desirable and could earn more money since the records’ state is new. Rock vinyl records that are scarce and harder to find due to limited production also net more money. Is your old Rock record a promotional copy meant for radio station airplay or press? Promotional Rock vinyl records were typically pressed in smaller numbers and could have different versions than what was sold to the public. Your Rock promo record could be worth Top Dollar. Does your Rock record have an artist autograph? Signed artist signatures on the records increase value when they are not personalized.
If you’re looking to sell your Rock record collection, give Paul a call today!
