I think this isn't really on track, but my "prize" is a 45 of the OLD OLD Detroit Tigers jingle, Go Get Em Tigers.

Mine is a picture disc of Delerium's Silence... But, it's autographed by Tiesto on one side, Airscape on the other. All I'm missing now, is Sarah McLachlan's signature to make it worth even more.

MJ - Thriller album (Picture disc)
Common - I Used To Love H.E.R. (not rare, but my all time favorite joint)
Slum Village - Fall In Love (test pressing)
Notorious BIG - One More Chance (first record i bought after buying my turntables)

Not really a vinyl...a Hybrid slipmat signed by the 3 members of Hybrid as of 2003, Mike Truman, Chris Healings and Adam Taylor.

A white label progressive house remix of The Police 'Don't Stand so Close'. To the day I still have no idea who produced it, and I've never heard of anyone else having it.

Also, Way Out West 'Intensify' LP autographed by Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff.

It's a toss up between my Laser-Etched, De La Soul-Say No Go 12", or the German pressing of my minty, 180 gram,white vinyl, White Album.

For me it's gotta be my Beatles- White Album

dance it freestyle rythmn - mantus on TK disco
cerrone - supernature original lp
sylvester - Mighty real (signed with autographed publicity picture)
wicky wacky house party - the team
my 80's electronica / retro regressive
adam and the ants young parisians
frankie goes to hollywood - relax (sex mix) limited edition
Depeche mode 12" collection

those are mine, also the dubs on the old groove and 80's 12"s have some excellent beats to use

my original copy of young MC - bust a move

not really rare but its the first record I ever bought back when I was 8!!!, I wasnt a dj back then (obviously) but I had a record player and this was the first shit I copped. 10 years later when I did become a dj I went through all my dads old records and I found my copy of bust a move...... it was crazy like it was meant for me to dj or something I didnt even remember I had that record and it was still in awesome condition.

Onyx - Slam
Expose - Exposed

I'm not sure if it's rare

But I got

Wu-tang-caln-36 chambers on vinyl..by far my favorite album

^^

except for illmatic :)

I didn't listen to the copy of 36 Chambers before I bought it. Looks & sounds like someone took a cheese grater to it. :-(

Digital underground - Doowutchyalike
Redhead Kingpin - Pump it hottie

Thats just how the album sounds. Even the CD. Grimey. "Look out for da cops. Cash rules."

ps. I dig my Boney M - Night Flight to Venus LP.

"Like Mike" Gatorade jingle.

Alex R. Cosantinos - Romeo and Juliet.

Harry Bellafonte - Harry Bellafonte Sings the Blues

C-Bank - One More Shot

A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory (fav album of all time)

I'm not sure if you guys have heard of it, but I got a copy of this really rare track... its by Cassie, its called "Me and U"... if you ever see it, make sure you grab whatever stock they have.

I have a 45 of Rhimestone Cowboy!!! Remember the movie high school high??? yeah its that record, ha ha. I forgot where I got it.

No way I can list all of the ones that I'm stoked about, but some high points would be:

I went to this garage sale and started flipping through the box of records marked $1/ea. I had gotten maybe 1/4 through the box and already found like 12-15 records that I wanted, so I asked the guy how much for the whole box. He said $20.

When I got home and went through everything, I found a complete collection of Beatles albums (UK pressings with all included items (posters, cut-outs, etc.). They're in pristine condition and I've never played them. =-)

Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight. First 12" I ever bought (1979 - I was in Jr. High).

Prince - Pretty much every 12" single released between "Let's Work" and "My Name is Prince."

Prince - Lovesymbol shaped vinyl of Sexy M.F.
Sheila E. A Love Bizarre, Glamorous Life
LaTour - Blue (x2 on transparent blue vinyl)
Kraftwerk - Tour de France
Madonna - Picture vinyl with her posing naked from her "Sex" book. Interview b/w "Pussy"
Newcleus - Automan 12"
Tribe Called Quest - I Left My Wallet in El Segundo (on transparent green vinyl)
Information Society - Full set of 12" singles signed by the band.
De La Soul - Me Myself & I. Has interlocked grooves where all of the tracks start at the beginning of the record. Cool gimmick, but a pain for cueing. =-)
DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince - He's the DJ, I'm The Rapper.

And finally, all of the records I had as a kid, including a bunch of Disney records ("Mickey and the Beanstalk," "Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear, Brer Fox," "101 Dalmatians," "Pirates of the Caribbean," etc.). Also some ones like "Acting Out the ABCs" that are a gold mine of sample drops. =-)

Man, I could keep going... lol.

oh yeah, i forgot about all the childresn stuff...i got a spider man rock/read-along comic book EP. it's dope; i've used it for a bunch of samples.

oh and "i can see clearly now" by johnny nash. haha. 60's bizness.

I cannot BELIEVE I forgot this one:

Cold Crush Brothers: Punk Rock Rap

And don't get me started on my 45s... =-)

more 45's:

Jimmy "Bo" Horne /dance across the floor 45rpm

Charlie Hodges /(they call me) Daddy Love pts 1 & 2 45rpm

Foul Play - vol. 4: "Music is the Key" - Shadow49 (impossible to find!)

Layo & Bushwacka - "Deep South" - End025 (they made remixes back in 2003, but the original is is impossible to find)



I've got hundreds of "Out of Print" releases, but these are my most personally "prized" pieces.

Oh yeah... I forgot:

Beat Bop - Rammellzee
BDP Criminal Minded (instrumental Album - original)
Before I Let go (studio remix) (reprint, oh well...)

well I play drum & bass/jungle...so here are a few that are special to me, not sure how many dnb people post on here =)

Nice......I've got the remixes of "vol. 4" as well, gotta love that 10" wax......just just feels so good!

"Can't you see, that I want to be with you...you....you"

Ah, the memories of hearing that live.

Good taste bruv!

A video of Vinyl
45king.com

Nice tunage! Lucky to have those.

Yo King, what the hell is that contraption that you're playing the wax on? That thing is dope, dope, dope! Is it even available anymore?


::begins ebay quest once the name is given::

Hey,

I got that version of Just Begun on .mp3... I didn't know that was the original version though. It does sounds a little raw compared to the widely known version.

thanks...yeah Iove that era. Priceless

My most prized vinyl isn't a DJ-able record. It is a test pressing of a Canadian Billy Joel album. My favorite 12 inch is probably my It Takes Two single signed by Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock.

anyone got the 45 of "safety dance" thats I think yellow vinyl and some weird shape? post a pic then!

Man Listen,
Multiple copies of "Change The Beat"
"You'll Never Be" - By (I forgot)., but it says "You'll never
be the man that your mother was"
Tell Me That I'm Dreaming - Was Not/Was
2,3 Break, HipHop on Wax Vol#1, BBoys something...- Chuck Chillout
Marley Scratch - Marley Marl
King Kut - DJ Cheese
The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff
Ego Trippin' - Ultramagnetic MC's
Latoya - Just Ice
Veronica - I forgot who...(Beat box cut, OH VERONICA!!!)
The Bridge - MC Shan
The Bubble Bunch
Buffalo Gals/Hobo Scratch/Album and Singles
Rockit
Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel - Both the short AND long versions on regular and PROMO copies.
I Love You More - Rene and Angela on 2 Promo's
2 Copies of Pump Me Up, on different labels, but were the exact
same pressing per the scribing on the wax towards the center of the record.
2 MORE copies of Pump Me Up, (Just bought 2 weeks ago), on the Sugarhill Label. Sounds more "canned" than the above version, but sounds like the version Jazzy Jeff used.

2 Catch The Groove Originals

A whole lotta copies of Sucker Mc's
Same with Rock the bells

The Human Beat Box - Doug E. Fresh

Pee Wee's Dance

Planet Rock

Tough - Kurtis Blow

And I haven't even gone into the D-Train/Shep Pettibone Kiss Mastermix stuff yet.

Oh, and everything is on Original labels...

Veronica is by the Bad Boys

I got that, Lol!

Mine is warped to hell but will still play.

One of my favorites I forgot to mention is the Jungle Bros. 12" of a song called "In Time". It has a cameo on it with Q-Tip (his first appearance on wax).

100 CYBERBUCKS TO THE WINNER! I also have that other joint they did....Same label. That INSPECTOR GADGET sample.

I'm pretty sure I have HipHop on Wax Vol#2 also...

That other song is called "Bad Boys", it features female Beat Box K Love, I'm sure you remember that last part though, no one could forget..."I'm short I'm sexy my love is divine, my name is K Love and I'll blow your mind"

How could I forget! That was my favorite part to cut up, besides the beginning. Plus that damn record was 45rpms....

Damn.

I'm in a panic. I just went to look for one of my favorite pieces of colored vinyl. It ain't there. Maybe it's at my mom's, maybe my brother has it...not good not good.

I got a girl name Avie, guess what she gave me
It burned so bad, the doctors couldn't save me...

Origin Unknown - Valley of the Shadows

Adam F - Circles

Potential Bad Boy - 6 Million Ways

"Girls Part II" by the B Boys, the infamous colored vinyl, is/was yours blue, green, orange, or red? I heard they also made clear ones but I have never seen them. I used to love the simple cuts on this record, made me feel like star when I took my "Girls Part I" record and imitated them perfectly, LOL.

...I was chillin' til I got the penicillin when I saw Avie I started illin'

Mine is/was the transparent yellow, this one: www.discogs.com

Looks like I will be visiting my mom this weekend. :)

Good luck mine was blue (shed a tear...moment of silence), it got permanently borrowed, along with the first two DEF Jam Singles (It's Yours, I Need a Beat) Got those back (original copies) but have yet to get find the colored record.

My I Need A Beat has an irreparable scratch on the radio mix version and I've always disliked the scratch party death mix. Just like I hate the zootie mix on I Need A Beat. With editing I've repaired the scratch on I Need A Beat for my digital library.

Adam F. used to tear it up so much more back then! I am not too fond of him going the "Breakbeat Kaos" route (though I do love the label). By the way, I have "Colours" on vinyl.........Greatest DnB artist album of ALL time, in my honest opinion! It had a bit of everything on it.

As for "Valley of the Shadows", is it the original wax, or the one w' the 96' remix on it?

I love my "I Need A Beat"...that and "I'm Dangerous"....

Man, LL had some issues back then..huh?

I Need A Beat
I'm Dangerous
I'm Bad
I'm In Love...

Always thinking about himself...smh.

Funny, my wife thinks about him a lot too...
