The best record collections are based on quality rather than quantity and I now see that. I once knew a record dealer who carried every single record he owned around with him most days. How come? Well he only bought and sold funk 45′s and he carried them around in a little record box but what was in that little box was worth more than most big collections put together. So, after going through my collection, I realised that his was the right path and now all my records will be stone cold classics. And that’s it. I took over a hundred records to Notting Hill Soul Exchange and come back with five. But what a five eh? Looky:
De La 12″ from the LP Buhloone Mindstate, this be Ego Trippin’ (part two) on Tommy Boy. And then? Well..
Keeping with the Native Tongues theme and strengthening the Tribe 12″s I got Award Tour. Not the best 12″ in terms of tracks as there only three on here but its hard to find and it’s Tribe so I had to have it. To Complete the Low End Theory 12″s I gots…
With the exclusive “Skypager” on the B Side. With vouchers to burn I then spotted this soundtrack only Gangstarr Gem…
“Gotta Get Over” with the Large Professor remix being the choice version. “Gotta Get Over” wasn’t on any Gangstarr album but the track dropped around the time of Daily Operation so its part of their golden years in terms of output. Seems like yesterday this was on Westwood being bumped in our parents cars. With time running out I shot my bolt over
Slaughtahouse. Had this for years on CD but now on the OG vinyl. I think that’s all of Ace’s albums on wax.
All of the above were made possible by trading in filler and Herb Alpert LP’s. Thanks Notting Hill you bloodsucking pawn merchants.
