Does anybody know b, 21b, 211. some nice diggin books. I already got FreddY Freshs Hip Hop Records, Disco Patricks Acetate Guide, the japanese Funk 45 book and Peter Wermelingers Funky Groovy Music lexicon.b, 21b, 21orb, 21b, 212. any nice Books with anecdotes and tales. I already read 5 or 6 of them concerning Disco like Love Saves the Day, My life in Garage Paradise, Last Night a DJ saved my day an of course the Hip Hop ones: Yes Yes Y'all which is great and Can't Stop Won't stop and Ego trippin. b, 21b, 21Now I am looking for something fresh and inspiring to read. Most of the stuff starts to repeat itself incestuously...b, 21b, 21Def wit da record Def wit da recordb, 21b, 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thebreaks.gif" alt="" 21

    yeah I too thought this was about diggin FOR books.. I didn't even know there were books about crate diggin. ummmmm Vibe's history of hip hop is pretty good, not really about digging but it covers a lot of related stuff.

    if you're into midwest garage 45's/lp's tom tourville released a few discography's, minnesota, wisconsin, chicago, oklahoma/kansas, iowa, dakotas, all are out of print but you should be able to find them on ebay, jim oldsberg also had a nice magazine/book called lost and found that was mainly about garage 45's and bands from minnesota and the midwest, there were 5 total and all are out of print but you can find them on ebay as well, he also wrote a book on bands from southern minnesota, also gary myers has a two part wisconsin discography, he has a website where you can purchase them, i still need to pick one up

    I recently read Paul Oakenfolds biography by Richard Norris. Very interesting indeed.

    This was my internet, my diggers guide from way back, this was where I first learned about funk groups like the Meters or Sly & the Family Stone, the book is from 1984 and apart from having info on oldschool rap it also covers the roots of hiphop music, pretty much ahead of its time, talking about breaks beats dj records... of course today all this info is a bit dated and on the internet and it prolly would not excite anyone that much, but back then it was pretty awesome actually!! b, 21b, 21img src="http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j79/upskiboo/DSC02476.jpg"1b, 21b, 21img src="http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j79/upskiboo/DSC02477.jpg"1b, 21b, 21img src="http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j79/upskiboo/DSC02478.jpg"1b, 21b, 21img src="http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j79/upskiboo/DSC02479.jpg"1b, 21b, 21img src="http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j79/upskiboo/DSC02481.jpg"1
