yeah, as I've mentioned before, one of the local shops here has a fairly
good relationship with Watts distribution
Watts had a warehouse full of records and CDs that they had lost inventory
on and they were tired of paying rent on the storage space
so they sold the whole entire warehouse to the local shop here in
Minneapolis
The shop has been putting the records - brand new and most still sealed -
out for sale for ridiculous prices
$2 for 12" to maybe $11 for a double or triple vinyl.
The big finds have been
Claude Young's "Acid Wash Conflict" on 7th City - sealed for $3
Dan Bell's "Elevate Special Projects 1" - the original ltd to 500 release -
for $2! the record was brand new never played
Paul W. Teebrooke - OW002 and Nova 12" brand new for $3 each
Sterac - Secret Life Remixes Pt.1
Most of the Tons of Tones 12" on Urban Sound of Amsterdam
quite a number of early Detroit house/techno records (Happy Records,
Santonio Echols, etc.)
there's a been a few more but can't recall everything
