Just found a mint copy of this out of an old school hip hop djs collection, nothing in there past 94 or so, so I knew if was an original (i dont even know if this was repressed or not, not really my usual terrain)..when I saw this ended auction I figured it must've been a obvious repress or something to those in the know.
I just grabbed it cause I knew it was a early 90s hip hop grail ... is this what the major label hip hop game has come to?? Damn, I'm sticking with the indy's from here on out!
in a weird coincidence, i just picked this up today, similar circumstances: in with a pile of '88-'91 12's from the same owner. yellowed label, old sleeve etc, so im pretty sure its legit. ive never seen a boot but i can tell you on my copy, in the run off groove on side B it sez "This Ain't No Mambajahambo!!!" (also "WP-1022 B" and something that i think says "I U B")... And the A side run off has "WP-1022 A" and "DMS Cg * (peace sign)".
As for value, that ebay auction didnt specify real or boot, so wouldnt that hold bidding back somewhat, on top of the seller having almost no feedbacks? Also the freddy fresh book calls it a "****", for what thats worth. I realize the hip hop market has cooled off a lot, but i still think theres enough headz out there to constitute real price differentiation between common stuff and good stuff.
Well, dropped it on the bay with a modest reserve, I have nice feedback and surrounded it with some other heat, so we'll see. If it doesnt meet that I'm gonna start collecting Main Source 12s!

My how things have changed./A>
damn, I might as well make some dishware out of my records I'm getting rid of.
Hey Quo, this isn't you is it?

$300-500, but there's a couple of different reissues out there so watch out.
This is why I'm (also of one feedback point) holding out for some feedback before some of the grailish things go up....
Oh yes.

That's me alright.
i sold that same test pressing posted above for over a bill a couple of years ago to a Japanese dude that was making a book about hip hop 12"s.
