You guys have no idea.. I loved this guy ever since I heard a 30 second
sample off a web record store.. I searched high and low, until the day I
actually started working for Tower in Atlanta this summer.. AND IT WAS
WAYYY BETTER THAN I EVER IMAGINED.. maybe I overstated that a bit, but I
must say that I firmly stand by this beautiful album..

What I would like to know is where to get my hands on some of the original
vinyl.. ie, 12"s etc. from the featured artists.. or even just a copy of the
album on vinyl, although I don't think it was ever made on wax.. On a
similar note, does anyone know what it would cost to press a single record??
cuz I will be making a few cd's from stuff off the web (mods, etc..), but I
would like to have them on vinyl if possible.. I guess dubplates are what
I'm looking for.. Any information would be greatly appreciated..
