and the winstons, always a sureshot choice!

The 45 is fairly common. I live in Detroit though; I'm not sure how common it is elsewhere. The LP isn't as common. It's not super rare, but it doesn't pop up that often and when it does it's usually not in that great of condition. My copy is VG++ or whatever cats call it these days. I see it sold for no less than $15 in decent condition. It has never been sampled by anyone notable, but it's definitely sample fodder.

The Winstons LP is quite decent. If you're just into breaks though, this record might be a snoozer for some. I think it's like a 6.5-7 on a 10-scale. I was surprised that they had more than this. I thought they were a gospel band when I first heard about "Amen, Brother." I'm not a fan of 45s, so I jumped on the LP when I found the LP and realized it had the break on it too.

for real $75? I got that... easy to find in Japan! Mine's not sealed anymore though

Not easy to find in the US or the UK. The Japanese version is different from the domestic release.

Shouts to you diggers - the diehards

Yes, that Elzhi CD is signed (it'll be worth it's wait in gold one day). That's a sealed copy of the Japan-Only Starving Artists Crew CD (it probably would sell for $75). 3 copies of Elzhi's Out of Focus EP and a copy of that ThesOne vs. Will.I.Am beat battle Japan-Only release... yep, I'm a geek.
I do math with that abacus. I got it from Japan.

I'll be posting more later... I just have a lot on my plate. This one was to break the cherry. Trying to finish my album...
