How much will one pay for records? Depends. Lately, I have been on the hunt for music that has more so been HAUNTING ME FOR YEARS! Stuff that was very influential on me from the late 80s/ early 90s/ golden age: Scala, Helen Sharpe, Untouchables, Shades of Rhythm, J-dee...hmmm...stuff from artists that kind of fell by the wayside, but nonetheless...I was listening. SO, I'll shell out top dollar for stuff like this: $25 for a 12 or $75 for a cd. There was a very rare collaboration between D-may and C-craig on ebay. Never released, sounded interesting. 12 going for $75. So, I guess I am more so looking for rarities, collectables. Peace! 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 MEK It's good when shops 'discover' a lost batch of original pressings which sometimes happens - Piccadilly di this recently with the Mowax stuff - and I checked with the label, they really were original. If they were bootlegs they were damn fine ones, original art, little postcard, cardboard sleeves and mega loud pressing (esp for 1996.) I had not heard 'Ravers Suck Our Sound' before I gotr this so I was grateful. This also happened with Roy Davis Junior's 'Gabriel' thing a few years ago too. Anyone else with such tales?

I commend your bin-digging endurance. i've found maybe two records in the entire lot that have been worth purchasing -- 99.8% of that Watts collection is horrid commercial dance music. - jobot - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, July 6, 2004 11:31 am Subject: Re: FW: (313) Re: what's the most people are willing to pay for rekkids? yeah, as I've mentioned before, one of the local shops here has a fairlygood relationship with Watts distribution Watts had a warehouse full of records and CDs that they had lost inventoryon 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.

yup, original copies of likemind 2 and 4 suddenly appeared with classic nuron tracks, as if from another dimension, for the price of a normal 12. made me a happy camper. - Original Message - From: Ken Odeluga [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, July 5, 2004 2:06 pm Subject: FW: (313) Re: what's the most people are willing to pay for rekkids? Kenbut then I guess some people do actually want originals Oh Ken Ken Ken. Represses are for ladies. Yeah, ok, ok, ok, I admit it! I know it's not the same! But I've gotta tell myself it is to assuage the feeling of actually wanting the original myself! :-) It's good when shops 'discover' a lost batch of original pressings whichsometimes happens - Piccadilly di this recently with the Mowax stuff - and I checked with the label, they really were original.

Anyone else with such tales? k Oh, and that Deep Space 7 is very rare! you're getting confused with the 12... A g I WANT ONE (or both) This is hardcore vinyl fetishism here. Represses are the devils work my friend. Get with the program! Like Nick's stall says We do not sell represses ; ) *Alex runs home to stash all his represses under his shelves incase anyone from 313 comes round* _ - End of message text This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
