Hi Everyone. Back in my undergrad days a friend of mine dj'ed at a lot
of parties in town. Summer of '94 he'd spent in London and had picked up
a load of early Mo'Wax 12"s which he played like crazy during the '94/'95
school year. Well, I fell in love with the stuff, but everything prior to
Headz was pretty hard to find in Michigan at the time, and I didn't have
the money for it anyway. Well, it's 3 years later and I'm in search of
the bulk of these early releases...it's not about collecting, it's just
about being able to hear the tunes and gaze at those crazy sleeves again.
Lots of memories tied up in all that. I know a lot of these tunes are
on Royalties Overdue and the Jazz Hip Jap Project lp's (both of which
I'm looking for as well), and some (like R.P.M. "2000" or Attica Blues
"Vibes") were re-released in brown cardboard sleeves w/a sticker in the
corner, but I really want to find the original 12"s as well, since the
artwork had/has been a joy to me as well. If you have any you're willing
to sell or trade I'd be very happy to hear from you. Or if you know of any
shops or people who might be able to help me in my quest, I would really
appreciate that, too. Thank you so much in advance! Here's the list of
stuff I'm looking for:

MW001: Repercussions "Promise" 12"
MW002: Raw Stylus "Many Ways" 12"
MW003: Palm Skin Productions 'Debut' 12" ("Getting Out of Hell")
MW004: Marden Hill "Come On" 12" ("Saxopsychoblunt")
MW005: RPM "Food of My De-Rhythm" 12"
MW006: Federation "Life So Free" 12"
MW007: Mistura "Coast to Coast" 12"
MW008: Bubbatunes "This is Just a Dance" 12"
MW009: Palm Skin Productions "Time and Space" 12"
MW010: Jazz Hip Jap Sampler 12" (with Monday Michiru, Jeff Brown, & Magic
Ware)
MW011: Jazz Hip Jap Sampler 12" (with tracks by El Malo)
MW012: Jazz Hip Jap Sampler 12" (with tracks by DJ Takemura)
MW013: Palm Skin Productions "In a Silent Way" 12"
MW014: DJ Shadow "In/Flux" 12" (looking for the version with the
original sleeve)
MW015: Federation "Life So Free" Remix 10"
MW016: Step "If" 12"
MW017: La Funk Mob "Tribulations Extra Sensorielles" double 12"
MW018: R.P.M. "2000" 12" (looking for any of the 3 original versions,
just as long as it's not the re-release in the brown sleeve with
the sticker in the corner)
MW019: DeeCee Lee "New Reality Vibe" 12"
MW020: Attica Blues "Vibes, Scribes 'n' Dusty 45's" 12"
MW021: Deep Joy "Make Some Sense of This" 12"
MW022: Visionistics "Mysterious Ways" 12"
MW023: La Funk Mob double 10"
MW024: DJ Shadow/DJ Krush "Lost and Found/Kemuri" 12"
MW028: U.N.K.L.E. "The Time Has Come" double 12"
