Which records (OG or reish) did you buy because you read about it in the Soulstrut Top 100?

For me it's been:

# 64 - Archie Whitewater - Archie Whitewater (1970)
Hmmm, love the sample, but the whole thing hasn't grown on me so far.

# 79 - McNeal & Niles - Thrust
I had completely slept on this, never heard of it and copped it cheap on CD on Amazon. Thanks Soulstrut.

# 74 - Trap Door / An International Psychedelic Mystery Mix (2006)
The word "psychedelic" usually makes me move on to the next item. This sounded interesting though and the CD did not disappoint when it arrived.

    I would have sold an OG as well. $1.99 for a CD was OK

    William DeVaughn and Archie Whitewater I picked up because of the SS100. It's also helped me revisit albums that I haven't thought about in years, particularly Don Blackman and Bernard Wright.

    Don Blackman I always loved.
    Bernard Wright I always tried to at least like.
    Soulstrut 100 made me revisit it... ...and sell it within a week.

    Arthur Verocai - and it hasn't left my currently playing stack since. Thank you SS.

    Curtis/Live! and Roy Ayers 'He's Coming'... I really should of had these filed years ago but the Strut 100 pushed me to go get them.

    Curtis/Live! is stellar, He's Coming is really great but there's one or two cuts that make it drag slightly. But overall two pretty amazing albums.

    Once the Strut 100 got started I realised McDonald & Giles would appear on it which prompted me carry out a longstanding desire to mint up from my VG+ Cotillion to a M Island.

    Had a weird dream last night that I was digging and found a bunch of Strut 100 titles, but they weren't the originals, it was like they were part of a series of re-issues with identical (and cheaply designed!) sleeves. Naturally I passed on them figuring I'd find OGs some other night :lol:

    Still Bill. Funny I end up buying one of the most universally well-known LPs on the list. I had heard so many covers of Use Me that I never bothered to really pay attention to the original that blows them out of the water.

    PUTS ? CD. Latte pass, I know. The SS list and a video of Thes on his MPC made me pick it up finally.

    Silver Apples.

    And now I want Placebo, but 1973 instead of the actual Strut100 selection.
