I don't know about the rest, but 24 Carat Black is pretty rare. And I think
the album is called Ghetto's Misfortune. There are a couple tracks
available on both Jazz Dance Classics vol. 1 & 2. Both are super dope. Of
course if you're only interested in hunting down rare stuff, those reissues
probably ain't going to cut it for you.
