There are very few labels i trust so much that i will buy anything from
them without having heard it first. Ninja Tune and Mo'Wax are pretty
obvious choises.. at least for me. But that doesnt only have to do with
the music they put out, its sort of a collectors-thing too... i WANT to
have it all even if it sucks.
I guess the only labels which have ONLY put out stuff i like is
Oceanfloor, Jazz Fudge and Solesides... If you are bale to find a few
labels that you trust 100% you're lucky. Not only does it make it easyer
when youre buying music, but its fun too cuz you will probably end up
owning their whole catalogue, and thats kinda cool (i dono about you
guys, but im a completist).
Uhm..oh yeah. Listening to the music first is a must! Thats why i love
RealAudio as much as i do. 90% of the stuff i but are things i have
heard on the net first.
Actualy yesterday i placed a pretty big order (32 LPs and 12"s) at
Action-Records, while i was surfing for RA's with another browser.
It really worked well... i started chekcing the V Recordings
backcatalogue (which i wasnt very familiar with *blush*) at
http://www.cductive.com and whenever i found something i liked i just
added it to my order at http://www.action-records.co.uk :)
