    I thought for sure you were gonna get the one I put up for Heatrock auction. I feel like I've picked up another extra copy since then, but I'll have to confirm when I get home today.

    How does it play though? Mine is borderline VG/VG+ but plays super clean.

    They each play unsatisfactorily and some of them are cloud-labels, too. I really want a VG++ gold file copy!

    I do have a mint gold label "Soul Drummers" 45 that I scored at a NYC flea market for $2 4 years ago.

    Yeah, those gold labels can take a lot of abuse and still play great. I have really rough looking copies of the first two Orq. Harlow LPs, but they sound perfect.

    Around 1999 or 2000, shortly after brainfreeze was huge, Big Al's Record Barn in San Jose had a box of hey joyces for $10 each. He told me he didn't understand why they were popular all of a sudden. I tried to explain and he still didn't seem to get it.

    I can't remember if he had a rule about one per person or if I was just broke, but I only got 1.

    Interestingly, there was a grip of them for sale around the end of '09 and beginning of '10 but it's really fallen off since then.

    why would you want to do that?

    Stereo sounds better? I rarely play out my copy of "Acid" (I have the best songs on single) so the whole "mono = better for DJing" is sort of moot for me.

    This is exactly the post Cosmo was hoping to see.

    Cloud labels hold up well, too, at least the earlier ones. I have a VG Ray Barretto Barretto Power heavy press cloud label that I bought from the brother Rape_Donkeys for like $6... it looks like a nightmare but I've probably taken that record to more DJ nights than any other and it always plays true.

    All right, I'll give this a try:

    Anybody want to sell me a minty vinyl copy of Marva Whitney "Giving Up On Love" on T-Neck?

    Believe me folks, I have plenty of thrashed Fania titles that play miraculously well (Willie Colon- The Hustler, Ralph Robles Was Here, etc). However NONE of my copies of ACID are examples of this, with both my VG- gold labels playing with skips all over the place. THe remaining 4 are cloud labels and between all of them I have a solid play copy, but each has its issues. I have clean gold labels of pretty much every Gold Label FANIA title that I want at this point except for ACID (and Bobby Valentin Let's Turn On :grin: ).

    I thought you already had a minty stereo gold of this? Holler if you got dupes. I'm ready to jettison my Mono Gold and Stereo Cloud versions.

    I've been missing out on this for years as well. Been unable to lock down a copy of this either (my second favorite Lou Courtney joint):

    Hey,

    I would love to get my mitts on Placebo's "Ball of Eyes." Oh well, that would take a miracle.

    Peace,

    Out of curiosity - have you ever checked if it's actually stereo?

    A customer used to work for Fania many years ago and claimed that they often just stuck stereo labels on mono records.
