Another few days had passed, and I have no idea why I did it, but I googled James Yancey. And there were some pieces that said James Yancey - didn't think twice of it. All of the junk mail had the name Yancey on it, Maureen Yancey. It was just, you know, mix-tapes, homemade tapes, you know? And then there was some junk mail in there.

And I open the tub, and it was just full of cassettes. MESITI-MILLER: But in looking through all the records, he saw some stuff that was worth investing in and bought them and then paid to have them stored in the locker for a couple more months.īUBECK: And one particular day, I went to the storage bin to pick up some boxes and I noticed a tub in the back of the storage bin. I mean, it was just - you know what I mean? It was - it was a mess. There was stuff that had gotten wet, you know, stuff that actually had black mold growing on it. Really a lot of just off-the-wall obscure stuff, you know? And there was a little bit of everything in there, boxes upon boxes stacked up. So Jeff went and checked it out.īUBECK: There was probably 6,000 records in there - tons of '70s jazz.
Apparently, somebody was years behind on rent and left behind a unit filled with records. It started off when Jeff got a call from a woman who owned a storage locker. MESITI-MILLER: And then Jeff told me a story about one of his best finds in his decades of collecting. I mean, there's - for the most part there's garbage out there. He'll buy from collectors, go to estate sales.īUBECK: And, you know, I've gone to storage auctions before, long before "Storage Wars" and "Pickers" or any of those shows that are on now. MESITI-MILLER: In talking with Jeff, I was asking him where he gets all his records. You know, I started eight years old collecting records and now I have - I mean, look around (laughter). UHF is a 95 percent vinyl, good old-fashioned record shop - we got soul, r&b, blues, soundtracks, country, classic rock, '80s pop. JEFF BUBECK: I'm Jeff Bubeck, from UHF records. PAT MESITI-MILLER, BYLINE: Meet Jeff - he runs a record store out in Detroit. For our next story, we sent SNAP producer Pat Mesiti-Miller to my hometown - Detroit, Michigan. Today on the show - that which is lost is found and people are reunited in ways they never thought possible. Welcome back to SNAP JUDGMENT - the reunion episode.
