fcprod1 12:38 AM - 21 January, 2011
Turntable Lab has Emerald King Breaks
DJ Quartz 12:39 AM - 21 January, 2011
I just want the control vinyl edition. I seen those ones.
WestCoastAvenger 12:57 AM - 21 January, 2011
good luck buddy!! you might want to pm a few guys in the CV control record thread, some of those guys might have it.. but the emerald green king breaks is your best bet or the chico man serato pressing SCV-SP016 it comes in a clear green color.. i was trying to find a picture online but couldn't find a good one..

here's the chico mans: controlrecordguide.com

buy it here:store.waxpoetics.com
DJ Quartz 1:00 AM - 21 January, 2011
The search is ON! And if I can find white that will be dope too.
WestCoastAvenger 1:05 AM - 21 January, 2011
that's another hard one.. the only time serato pressed white CV's were the planet music (tittsworth) SCV-SP003.. it sucks that they only pressed a limited supply and the resale prices are crazy!!! like i said good luck to you!!

Here's a list of all the official control vinyl released.. BTW don't get your hops up on some of the ones that look white those CV's are actually clear..
serato.com

go here for new upcoming Control vinyl porn.. controlrecordguide.com
DJ Quartz 1:06 AM - 21 January, 2011
Yep that was one of the first links I checked out and I was like WOW. Not good, because I'm a vinyl junkie still.

I'll find 'em just will take a little time.
WestCoastAvenger 1:07 AM - 21 January, 2011

DJ Quartz 1:09 AM - 21 January, 2011

WestCoastAvenger 1:11 AM - 21 January, 2011

DJ Quartz 2:08 AM - 21 January, 2011
Yep, I jump in there first things first.
sopranosupasta 2:53 AM - 21 January, 2011

DJ Quartz 2:57 AM - 21 January, 2011
Frig, I was testing and missed the post.
sopranosupasta 2:58 AM - 21 January, 2011

I have one green - Never really use it.

Didnt think they are on the R@RE L@@K R@RE list :)
DJ Quartz 10:41 AM - 21 January, 2011
I'm just wondering why the green are so limited. I understand why the whites were because of the Nike Air Force One promo pack but still.

there are multiple kinds of white records, AF1 promo pack is one of 4 types.

OG whites/new label whites
Tittsworth
Shibuya Breaks
AF1 25th anniversary
DJ Quartz 10:54 AM - 21 January, 2011
That's true as well. The prices on those are insane as well. I remember when I was copping Desolat edition control vinyl and they were $60 for the set and everybody at that time looking at them were like that's expensive!!

Little do they know, damn.
DJ Quartz 10:55 AM - 21 January, 2011
I'm just interested in the factory green's and white's because I will be putting my logo on them.

I wouldn't want to do that to a specific serato pressing release. Still digging.
DJ_Phenom 12:05 AM - 24 January, 2011
OG whites(serato label) you will only find on ebay or through someone as they were never sold, greens are discontinued so ebay or someone in the serato control vinyl collectors group on facebook is probably youre best bet
DJ Quartz 1:27 AM - 24 January, 2011
Are you still wanting to sell the set of green, the white I can find later on sometime. And who knows, they might release it as a re-issue control vinyl .
DJ_Phenom 1:38 AM - 24 January, 2011
i never said i wanted to sell mine, i was just confirming which greens you were talking about.
DJ Quartz 1:43 AM - 24 January, 2011
ahhh, gotcha
Sureshot (PA) 4:52 AM - 24 January, 2011
greens were my first set of CV's (besides that blacks that came with my SL1). i till have them but they're beat up. my favorite looking vinyl so far.
Jensen Määäm 3:11 PM - 24 January, 2011
Quartz, white Serato CVs were promo only. So if you wantthem, you'll find them on ebay from time to time, but be ready to pull out some serious money!
Skye blue king breaks look almost white, this would be your best bet, you can find them in retail right now, hurry before they're gone! White Shibuya breaks & Tittsworth are also sold out and ebay is your one & only chance...same here, expensive! Talking about the white nikes makes me shaking my head/laugh...do you know how many they made from those? This is ultra high demand! 200 were pressed for 100 sets (incl. a pair of AF1 shoes and a white SL1). Happy hunting!
Jensen Määäm 3:11 PM - 24 January, 2011
Oh, I forgot to mention the white Nikes were promo only too!
SUBSTANCE 2:02 AM - 25 January, 2011
I'm still kinda in disbelief that people care what colour their CV is.
I use beat up green CVs that I don't even put in covers, them shits ain't precious. lol
Jensen Määäm 2:05 AM - 25 January, 2011
I use my greens too, but I treat the right. I always put a record back into a cover with a sleeve, when I'm not using it.
anthracite98 2:07 AM - 25 January, 2011
I'm in disbelief that people collect stamps and I use them daily to send out bills. I'm in disbelief that people collect coins when I give them to homeless people all the time. Its all about collecting something that is rare or special to you in some way. If you aren't feeling it, then they aren't. If you are, you enjoy all the UPS visits.

For me especially, this brings me back to digging and buying vinyl. Its been a long time since I've bought a vinyl record. In fact i'm knee deep in crates I'm selling. But if I occasionally buy CV and pressings, it satiates my 15 years of vinyl lust [nm].
SUBSTANCE 3:34 AM - 25 January, 2011
I would argue that that is like morphine to a heroin addict.
I have many crates of vinyl and many rare items yet I've never got the slightest hint of vinyl lust from CV. They're way too clinical for that heartfelt attachment. It's fuckin tone! They aren't picture discs, ffs.
DJ Quartz 5:58 AM - 25 January, 2011
I have other reason's for needing green vinyl, it's a team color and for certain events I want to be able to have the effect by using green vinyl. That's the idea behind it.

I am jonesin for some orange vinyl b/c i play for the SF Giants and i love collecting vinyl.

@Substance. Eric Orr's and A-Trak ARE picture discs. As for your other logic, you say you have crates of rare vinyl. Serato pressings ARE rare vinyl and they are only tone on one side; there are songs on the other. I kinda get what you mean about the plain CV's but I think when people get the collecting bug, they continue down the logical route and seek out the "clinical" cousins for their set. You can also see it like collecting art. Maybe you don't appreciate colored vinyl or anything like that, but I also collect some colored regular vinyl just because of the coloring, not b/c of the often wack songs on them.

But to each their own. If you don't feel it, its all good. Many of us do and want to collect them. For me its nice because now I can collect vinyl I'll use since I hardly ever play actual vinyl anymore when I play out. (at home I do, but i'm gettin old and am sick of lugging it around)

Yo what's good peeps.

Just dropping a link to this thread: www.serato.com

For those of y'all that want colours you can't buy no more, there's always the DIY route!

Djaward 6:43 AM - 26 January, 2011
Are you talking about these green ones?
images.search.yahoo.com

I gave these away when I sold my SL1. They looked nasty.
Jensen Määäm 8:54 AM - 26 January, 2011
^Exactly those!
DJ Quartz 10:18 AM - 26 January, 2011
Yep those are the ones.
SUBSTANCE 8:44 PM - 26 January, 2011
I'm actually glad that I don't have the material attachment to music that I once had.
Because sometimes it wasn't even the music, it was 'owning' the music. It was neccessary if I wanted instant access to the songs I liked. Shit done changed.
It's going to be hard to re-ignite that collecting passion with 1.2khz tone!
I'm aware that there are picture discs with SSL tone and music on the other side. Even in that instance, I see the practicality of it but I'm not about to start collecting them.

I feel you on that. It took me until this year, and now I'm like "damn i missed most of the good ones at retail prices..."

Didn't know they were hard to find. I gave my spare unused pair away about 2 months ago. *shrug*
Lonestarr 11:05 PM - 30 July, 2011
Eh, its not that they are rare or anything like that just they did stop making them a while back and cant be found everwhere any more..
