sounds like you're on some dj shadow ish w/that. i
look at it this way. the harmless/strut/soul jazz
comps are great ways of finding out what all that
stuff is w/o buying a dodgy (i.e., bootleg) comp
w/questionable sound quality for an exorbitant amt of
money. also, if you have the original pressing of
"fat albert rotunda" would you really rather take it
to a gig when you can play "fat mama" off a comp
that's much easier and cheaper to replace?

hmmm... have you ever had to pack a dj bag w/o using
comps? it gets pretty heavy!

that's some collector ish... i happen to like to find
the original (usually re-press if it's cheaper) but i
don't hold that as a standard to judge people by. i
like the original to find the (hopefully) overlooked
dope track, or miscellaneous break for sampling...
