The first one for me was the O'Jays "Cry Together" in 1995. This happened around the same time AZ's "Doe Or Die" album dropped (I forgot the name of the song that used that sample). Anyways, I found it in my grandmothers' basement, amongst a pile of soul, jazz and disco records. I dropped the needle on the vinyl and me and my brother proceeded to have our first break related .

I found the lp with edwin byrdsong's "rapper dapper zapper" pretty early on too.
mahogany was my ish... got the rec when I was about 15-16,
and just about "it" myself
That Black Frost joint that 3rd bass used.
the drums on get out my life woman. I was given this record by my sister inlaws dad when I got my turntables. The other records he gave me were complete shit for the most part.
Rectent OC Smith "give me time"
the drums and bass on that track are fucking insane.
This is the first one I can remember. Dope feeling. I was lost from that moment on.......
Ok, seriously though, it was this:
back in the day when i had an unhealthy obsession with Paul's Boutique, this just brought my music needs to the
is that really faking the funk??? "Love Beach" was my first too.
I was about to flip out on you before I read the bottom part. Seriously, if that was true you'd be my hero. It's like you deciding you'd like to begin lifting weights and showing up looking like Arnold's twin (no movie) within a week.
Took it from my mother's collection
Long before I even knew what a break was, I used to rewind Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise) over and over just to hear that exciting drum part at the beginning.
The J.B.'s - Breakin' Bread ("I Wanna Get Down" Groove)
was on this
As used by the Biz for Nobody Beats The Biz which use to get played all the time by Bay Area DJs in the mid-90s it seemed. Think they had a U.S. Mail commercial at the same time using this track.
This may be the greatest album I have ever owned.
First place I heard Cymande, "Scorpio" by Dennis Coffey, "Give Me Your Love" by Barbara Mason, brought back the memory of shit like "Backstabbers" & "Me & Mrs. Jones" from when I was a kid...I got this LP in my late teens, late 80's, and it was the catalyst and checklist for my earliest days of trying to collect soul records.
Oh, it sounds like shit by the way. But who cares?
mister magic for sure.
