EOI: Rare Records for Sale

Is anyone interested in the following records before they go up on eBay?

Ministry of Sound Presents AWOL: A Way of Life

http://www.discogs.com/release/282334

- Classic LP, released in 1995. Very hard to find, excellent condition. VIP tracks not available on any other compilation or release.
- 'The junglist bible' - DJ Noddy

"You Got Me" - The Roots feat. Erykah Badu (Blu Mar Ten Remix) [White Label]

http://www.discogs.com/release/155756

- Ultra rare one-sided 1996/1997 vinyl release of excellent Blu Mar Ten remix of Erykah Badu. Only 1000 promo pressings ever made, never officially released. Very hard to find, progression-session style tune.

"Circles" - Adam F (Remix) [Section 5]

http://www.discogs.com/release/334457

- Ultra rare one-sided vinyl release of a remix or Circles on Section 5 (Moving Shadow off-shoot label). Other side is etched Section 5 logo. This record was only ever sold to vinyl distributors, most of which ended up in record shop owners and high profile DJs personal collections.

I would prefer these go to the supporters of the local scene, but please take into account just how rare these records are when making offers. It is likely that there is only 1 or 2 of these in Australia, especially the Blu Mar Ten and Circles records.

Feel free to PM me, or contact me via robertfrost@internode.on.net

You at least gonna put some prices up so people have some sort of idea what you're after?


Hearing this always depresses me when I see how much talent Adam F had. This is a timeless tune - one of the greats. Yet in recent years he has made so much rubbish and it is such a shame.

I won't consider offers in double digits, let's put it that way.

I would be very surprised if there is a copy of that Blu Mar Ten remix in Australia. Blu Mar Ten didn't even have a copy until only recently.

F-Jams is a better tune than Circles, but you're right, he is wasting his talent now.

Then don't even waste your time here and chuck em straight on ebay.

You may have a chance with AWOL but the only collectors willing to pay for the others don't live down under.

I have sold records for three figures here before, so I believe people are willing to pay for the right tune.

So have I - many times.

But that was in the days before downloads, ebay, discogs etc. People can hunt the entire globe for tunes now, not try and find one of a handful that may have made it to Australia.

Otherwise they just download it. It aint the same as having the vinyl but if it saves you a $100 and you can still play it most people will take the cheap option.

Collecting rare records ain't what it used to be.

That may be so, but some people out there still want the vinyl.

It's not a big deal to me if it gets sold here, or if it goes overseas. I was merely giving the local supporters of the scene a chance to get in on the action early.

At the end of the day, it's about differentiating yourself. If you're playing the same tunes as everyone else, why would you get booked over the next person?

Or have I missed the boat, are digital downloads ruling the roost now, and everyone is playing different sets to everyone else?

Not really, i still buy lots of vinyl still.  Thanks for asking though

haha goose

 
Gold.

 

I tend to collect a lot of rare records, but seeing as I don't have much money I have to snap them up as soon as they are released.

I've got a few which are limited to around 500 copies and another limited to 300 copies. Should be worth something oneday.

a minimum press of a vinyl is usually 300 or the guys running the labels will waste money

yo rob i dont own awol, seeing 30 copies rammed in at centrals back in the day turned me off!

but now i wish i owned it

also id like to hear the blu marten thing? would i know it?

Is it true there is only 1 or 2 copies of circles in australia?

There are plenty of copies of the main release. This is is single sided etched vinyl versio which is a lot rarer.

that circles thing looks diddly

is the tune any good though?

Do you want to work something out for AWOL?

Re: Blu Mar Ten remix and Circles remix, both tunes have been featured in mixes of mine.

Search for my name and check out the threads where I have posted mixes.

The Blu Mar Ten remix is in the 'Atmospheric' mix and the Circles remix is in the 'Metalheadz' mix.

Circles is not a particularly rare tune on vinyl. It was first remixed by Andy C and Roni Size.

This particular record is a remix by Adam F around the time of the original release.

It is one-sided, with the other side being an etched Section5 logo.

The tune itself isn't a masterpiece, the original is probably still the best mix of the ones released.

But, it's rare as rocking horse shit, so it makes it valuable to collectors.

I have the original Section5 release, plus the record with the Andy C and Ronize remixes as well, if anyone is interested in those.
