    Saw Food For Thought OG cover (from what I can tell) ripped in half at the Salvation Army this past weekend. No record in sight. Got zero finds out of 10+ crates.

    that's why one of my favorite records i got when i lived in San Diego was my copy of Live at the Apollo (5 bucks, Mission Hills record show, 1998) in very clean shape... i mean, that was THE party record back in the day...

    NOT TRUE. FOUND IN SAN JOSE CA. SUPER CLEAN OG. STILL IN SHRINK. 7 DOLLARS. WORTH THOUSANDS MORE. LOVE IT.

    that being said, i would someday like a clean copy of "donny hathaway live" to replace my dollar bin frisbee.

    You hardly ever see Curtis Mayfield's Roots with the perforated 1972 calendar intact.

    Thats funny, I seem to find "live" in good condition, and "Everything" FUCKED up...
    Both CLASSIC. Glad I got good copies of both, Donny totally underated genius.

    in any collection...

    I remember going in to Goodwill one day and I found the motherload! However half the records weren't in the jackets and either cracked in half or extremely skated on. I put them all up like on a nice ass display before I left. I figured someone will come in and see that shit and go crazy.

    I've had two copies of this, both skated to hell. Can't seem to find a good copy anywhere.

    For me its Johnny Colon's "Boogaloo '67." I have four copies, the last two I bought looked clean, no marks or scratches, but when I play them they got surface noise. ICE FUCKING GRILL. Good thing I've never paid more than $5 for a copy.

    I also always find Donny Hathaway's "Live" clean, but "Everything is Everything" is always rinked.

    I guess mine is the exception to the rule, looks like it was never played.

    JB's and King records are notoriously bad about this, if these were played/enjoyed so much, how come they weren't taken better care of?
    And I am convinced most Tex-Mex records are actually pressed with scratches in them.

    My first choice was gonna be DONNY HATHAWAY LIVE... I've probably got three copies now and not one is clean

    Curtis S/T is a contender as well, as are most of the Latin soul joints I see

    I guess I'm lucky cuz most of the JB on King I find is in nice shape... there are popular Polydor titles that I've never even seen before though

    I wish every affordable copy of Forever Changes and Sticky Fingers I find isn't snap crackle poppalicious. I always see mint Donny Hathaways, and mint Meters records always seem to pop up on the bay.

    all records have flaws if you look close enough.

    it's a flawed medium.

    deal with it.

    LOL

    I should have you go through my collection and pick out the ones with hairline fractures I haven't seen yet.

    "This is ALL the records you have?!?!"

    I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.

    Having the Sex Machines goes a long way...but you won't be winning the 'Funk Arms Race(tm)' anytime soon...

    Can't argue with that.

    Though there are quite a few liquor stores w/in walking distance.

    LOL OMG

    a combination ghetto liquor store / record buying front would be that next level shit - that way you wouldn't have to loiter in front of the store during the winter.

    that would be even more hardcore than my record buying ice cream truck idea.

    $3 from a junk store on the west bank in nola.

    not to mention when my roommate found about 15 james brown joints in a dumpster behind a record store.

    I'll leave it to someone with motivation & ambition to capitalize on my solid gold idea.

    just like that 'gospel funk comp' thing.
