I went record shopping in San Francisco this Saturday, all day. I stopped by this record shop called "Tweekin' Records" on Haight Street, and found a sole copy of the classic Trancesetters - Roaches in NYC [Dot Dot].

I also found this record, Chris Coco - Only Love [Distinctive]. It's off the hook to say the least..

Anyone found any gems lately? Been seeing alot of reprints pop up, especially S&D with their Northern Exposure releases. Also found Chemical Brothers - Battle Weapon 6, CLASSIC

Re: Gems

The most recent "rare" vinyl I found and bought was Los Diablos Locos - El Locomotion on Oboro Recs '97 as played by JD live twilo '99 and also on his 1st Bedrock cd.

Nice mint copy of it too. That's it. Other so called Gems I've been lucky enough to collect would be:

Desyfer - 831 (Global Beat recs promo) Narcotik - Blue (Platipus) The Blackmaster - Solid Tube (Bonzai) <-- one of the last id's to Oakeys China set, only one missing...

I'm still looking for a nice copy of Two Fishes - The Opera (Vince O' Matic mix) (Omnisounds) <-- think this is the famous unknown 4th track to Oakeys '99 Ibiza set

san fran is my favorite place to record shop. i picked up so many bombs (a lot with that NYC sound) for a couple bucks at ameoba.

my recent finds are madonna bottom heavy dub ($2 in boston) saints sinners-push ($1 in amherst MA)

the saints and sinners isnt my fav, but dt played it a few wks back and its brought some life to the track for me. n

The rarest thing I found for .99 and then sold for $125.00 was a mint copy of Brothers Love Dubs "1-800-MING" :D

Re: Gems

I just found a copy of the track Dumas & Martinez - Death of My Soul [Beat Freak] Still remembered when Digweed dropped this @ the end of his Budapest Hungary set about a year ago. Not the same mix, but it still has the dope voiceovers.

I also finally picked up the classic Sasha EP; Xpander

I'd love a copy of 1-800 Ming (Rui Da Silva Remix) from GU019, can't seem to track it down... :oops:

I did run into 'Fluke - Reeferendum' a few weeks ago. Bit of TUNE that is. 8)

Finally got the Underworld Mix of Bjork - Human Behaviour as well. :mrgreen:

It took me 4 years to find a copy... At one time I had 4 copies. I sold two and gave one away. The Audio Therapy pressing is much harder to find though.

i actually have a copy of 1-800-ming that a friend gave me last year, i havent listened to it since i got it, i guess i'll be digging that one up

if anyone would like to donate "Peter Lazonby - Sacred Cycles (Junior Vasquez Mix)" to me...that'd be real cool. 8)

$125 for 1800 ming?Its good,but over a hundred bucks?I have an audio therapy pressing of it,picked up when it was on commercial sale in hmv for ?7.

Sorry but I wouldnt sell it,the rui da silva mix is pants but the original is class

just found the original i think it is.. press on sacred 001. Blue Amazon on a weak bside though :x

can i have it ?

:CrackUp:

Would be a shame, "Yah I have it here! No, you can't have it..."

In 7 days I'll know if I'm gonna actually have my #1 track sent to me...keeping fingers crossed, and thnx Jibs.

[quote=Jibgolly]can i have it ?[/quote]

i don't know man.. it's a lush track.. possibily would be willing to trade. i'm dying for a copy of emerald (charlie may's rmx) / Orbital - Halycon On On / New London School of Electronics - Voices of The Rainforest / Chicane - Offshore .... even blocrock, the record shop only got 2 copies, they might have a few in SF, really dont' know though

Re: Gems

James Holden vs Ben Pound - Kaern Turned is one tune I'll never get bored of. :Homer:

strictly wax over here.. tho it would be nice to have that track in the catalogs...

Aye, that's fair enough, I like to own dem 12" too! 8)

man if i was going to pay $125 for a single 12". It had better be really fucking good and I better be able to play it out for at least my next six times out spinning.

Damn that's a lot of money for a 12". :?:

i've found tons of records serendipitously at record stores, but they're probably not gems according to most peoples' taste so i won't mention them. but i have found:

freaky chakra - platform ($1, berkeley rasputins) justine - want me, love me ($2, berkeley amoeba) god within - the phoenix (album) ($8, berkeley rasputins)

seen two copies of the phoenix at rasputins.

^^nice 8)

Eclipse 8 - Acoustic Principles

It broke the bank, but maaan, what a record! :twisted:

Re: Gems

picked up s&d renaissance discs 1 / 2 on vinyl today, would have picked up all three but didn't have the ends. listening to it on the system at the shop the vinyl gave so much life to the tracks it was nice, definantly some gems, i think they're limited edition as well?
