The thought of a stadium full of techno being burnt is horrible.
But for those that don't know the "Official end of disco" happened this
way, kinda.

That's what the fxck I'm talkin 'bout! Me and curtis were talking about this the other day. He goes, "if records are rare, who the fxck's got 'em?!! Cause they sure aren't playing 'em. Whether the stingy bxstards are showing them off to friends/other geeks or waiting to cart the whole lot out to comisky park again, It's the same motivation. Using records to prove an ego-point. Not to move the body. They need to come off that shxt." . 'Bout fell off my legs laughing, because I know more than my share of house/disco "collectors" that go on about the comisky park incident and how those people had no respect for the vinyl and all that. Hahahaha.
Yo tom, I'm going down curtis' tomorrow, so...smoke 'em if you got 'em...

I've got mixed feelings on the matter- it's great when you finally
track down a record you've been after (sometimes for YEARS), not so
nice when you have to pay more than a "reasonable" amount
for it (about
£20-25 is the most I've ever paid for something, and
rarely over
a tenner). We had a guy call the shop last week who wanted a whole
load of Chain Reaction releases but ONLY if they were in the
original
"brown card" sleeves and NOT the "new" black ones- that's when it
gets
a bit silly for me- we had them all so he was happy but it just
struck
me as strange that he would have knocked them back had they been
in a
different sleeve!
thats just total nonsense. personally, i wish everyone who
made good music kept it in press all the time. change the
labels, i dont care. i dont like buying bootlegs so i wont.
legit reissues im super cool with, like all the transmats
and KMS that have come out in the last year. im less likely
to be down with comps since they probably only paid out a
flat fee to license those tunes, but in extreme cases (the
arthur russel one on soul jazz with "in the light of the
miracle" on it) ill go for that too. i dont give a crap about
a record's rarity. the number of deejays playing actually
good records already makes it a rarity to hear good stuff as
it is. i just play good music.
