Some essential pickups there, bip! (I bet there's tapes for nearly all of those, too - classic sh!t 
)
Not new but dope nontheless:
Looking forward to his 12"/EP with Planet Asia later this year (and hopefully the follow-up to the Beats for Days LP...)

Good stuff, Mr.Tibbs. (That 2nd Nu-Mark 10" isn't quite as strong as the first but I might have to pick it up for the J-Live track on the flip.) Do you leave the price stickers on? I always remove stuff like that immediately, especially if it's applied directly to the sleeve - the glue in some of those stickers is really nasty and will seep into the cardboard causing discoloration or just making them impossible to remove...
Following up on yesterdays post/ in anticipation of the new MassInfluence 7" dropping soon on Redef:
btw - I noticed several of my last pics are down because the filehost seems to have died. I'd re-up them but I also can't edit the posts in question. (Any chance you can help me out there, Po?)

^^Wow, just had a look at some more pictures of that on discogs. That bolt fastened box is certainly something you don't see every day and the way the 10" sleeves form a larger picture is nice as well.
Plus with 6x10", 7xCD and 2xDVD it's hard to believe there was "extra downloadable content we couldn't fit in the box"... 
4000 copies seems A LOT though.

Aye, the second 10" isn't as good, but its ok...and its 10"...and its coloured vinyl...so I'm committed all the way with this series of vinyl.
Didn't really know what Nu-Mark was up to before this, but I've also just bought his old mix cd 'Hands-On' which is really good - well worth a listen:

As for the stickers - they're on the outer plastic cover. There's no sleeve as such, its just one piece of card printed on both sides and placed inside the cover the with vinyl. I normally remove the stickers but thought there's no harm in leaving these on, especially as they're from different suppliers.

I gonna kinda blow my cover here but, I finally got me a turntable. I haven't listened to actual wax in forever. I let it slip away from me for a long time. Reading this forum and in particular this thread, reset the hook. I really don't have much cash at this time and gettin a whole new format wasn't really logical. I happened to pass buy a garage sale and halfassed asked if he had any turntables for sale.
"Actually, I do. I got it hooked up in the house if you wanna check it out. I just got one of those all-in-one CD/record player/radio things (I immediately thought of The Price is Right) and my wife would love it if I got rid of this old one."
"Ya alright. I'll check it out."
He opened up this old hutch and there sat a near mint Technics SL-B3 with a Stanton 680EE on it. He flicked on this funky NEC amp (I know nothing about it), hit start and away it went. Everything worked perfect and it ran rock steady. Duke Elington never sounded so good to me.
"How much you want?"
"How 'bout $10?"
"Throw in the amp?"
"Ya, sure."
"Sold."
Hit a couple other garage sales after that and picked up few sh!t albums for $.25 each. Some Staple Singers, some Jan & Dean, Johnny Cash, Earnest Tubb, Red Simpson. They're all hammered but, I was fired up.
A few days later, I ran into a life long buddy's mom and I remembered seeing a box of old albums in her garage over the winter that had a Baha Marimba Band - Do You Know the Way to San Jose in it.
"Can I have that box of records in the garage, Mom?"
"Yep. I told those two (brothers) to take whatever they wanted out of that garage a year ago. They're yours now. Come get 'em."
A few days after that, I'm telling another buddy that story and he recons he's got all my old albums from high school sitting in his mom's garage. "Ya, remember? You let me borrow 'em when I moved to Tahoe." In return for keaping them so long, he gave me his old sh!t too. A few Police, some Oingo Boingo. I haven't counted but, there has to be well over 50 albums in my "new" collection. A bunch of old New Wave sh!t, although my "the The"s are all gone. Grrr. A bunch of old Disney 45s. A couple Steely Dans and ELOs and what not. It's nothing amazing but, its a start. I've been dropping the hint on that new Highlighter setup for my birthday. Maybe it'll turn up.

Nice dude! Score!! I've been hitting up all the thrift stores in my town for almost a year now trying to build up a serious wax collection, and it is going quite well (I've got almost 5 crates now of really great stuff). I've found some spots recently that were selling LP's for $1 and 45's for $0.50....So, naturally I went and cleaned them out of all their good stuff, buying probably over 50 records at a time for weeks LOL (its become an obsession, luckily I've recently stopped smoking herb for a while to find a new job, and therefore I've got extra cash hehe). I've gotten spoiled as a result of these dollar spots and places selling stuff at $4-5 a piece or higher I pretty much won't even f*** with at the moment. I'm trying to build up a serious set of crates so I have a lot to pick from when making beats, and I'm all about economy buying at the moment, more bang for the buck. Memphis is split between spots selling at dirt cheap prices and a few stores in midtown Memphis that are more hipster oriented and everything in their stores is marked up to $5-$10-$20 and up regardless of condition....Very lucky find though as far the turntable and amp go: $10 bucks? You won't find that deal again. Nice work. I've had a couple nice turntables donated to me by family members that are just for listening, not scratching. A Sansui turntable from the late 70's and also a Bang and Olufsen one my dad donated, both really nice turntables. The Bang and Olufsen is nice because it has an automatic needle drop system, and it picks up the needle and stops itself when the record is done: great for listening purposes (in case you doze off hehe). I'm starting to hit the bottom of the barrel as far as thrift stores go though, and I'm about to start hitting up garage sales and estate sales more because they've got great deals too, as you discovered. Anyways, happy hunting dude! - g

Thanks g. I'm pretty stoked about it. I was way off on the count though. 127 is what I just counted. There's some oddball stuff in there like "Urban Chipmunk". Yep, Alvin and the Chipmunks featuring Jerry Reed. It's got a poster even! I think I love Jerry Reed as much as I hate The Chipmunks.

Nice. I recently bought an OG copy of Tower of Power's self titled album for $1 (the one with my favorite track by them "What is Hip?") and inside the sleeve were two t-shirt iron-on's from 1973!! I plan to use them and make a couple shirts no one has had since the 70's haha!! Sometimes you lucky though and the LP is that untouched from its era and you get the extra goodies that it came with decades ago. Haven't too many like this yet, but they are out there......greg
