That's how the whole digging thing got twisted people only want the breaks LOL... I personally never throw anything out i stash it all cause with the way things are you never know where you're creativity is going to come from... you might want to keep those Jack Jones,Bert kampfert Jackie gleason presents records you never know... Im sure we all have what we consider The "Garbage Crates" but one mans garbage is another mans treasure right??? I will be glad to take anyones junk off their hands LOL remember Fred Sanford was a junk man and he was "ON" for years!!! ( okay so the tax man got him in the end but you get the point) My advice is to Follow the artists and see where they go as far as having played with others... Yall know that bad`word?? Collabo which modern day production sometimes does not allow for... cause most folks work alone...and for heaven sakes stop buying records cause they have the word SOUL on them or cause they have AFROS LOL... trust me no two real producers hear the same thing......

when i first started digging, i bought a lot of classical albums.
all of them were garbage.
i dont trash them though.
i take the record itself and hang it on the wall.
it gives my room a good look.

hahahaa dont try wax away use them for ninja stars and throw them at wack jiggy rappers and cd dj's!!!!!
or swap with old people give good albums to little cousins or relatives and turn them on to good classic music with out all the wack advice of todays music
or make art with them if you dont want anybody getting your drums you could even invite me over show me your favorite albums and then go answer the front door and vaa laaahhh no more need i left you with (my favorite thing to do with tired wax is the okkie doekie) kenny G's Christmas albums and old dean martin crap in all of your favorites' sleeves!
peace

Even the biggest or most knowledgeable diggers in the world make or have made mistakes. You can't know everything and given his comments on Klaus Wunderlich he's just proven that he lacks knowledge and has slept on about 2 breaks and tons of samples that have even been used by big time producers that he probably claims he loves(i.e. Jay Dee).
This is hilarious.

What's hilarious? me having an opinion? errrm and i said i love Jay Dee? I'm not a big fan at all actually. Feel some tracks but meh...never got into him and i don't get all the obsessives.

Digging for me isn't about finding samples and breaks!! F*ck finding samples. I've learned that if you go out digging for samples and breaks you miss out on all the good stuff.

Sampling a record i love makes sense to me. Buying records just for the drum breaks on them and just because they're the only worthy records in the charity shop is a waste of record space and money for me, i'd rather go to a REAL record store or go to another charity shop and test my luck. I don't want a drum break and then a record full of stuff i just don't feel.

I buy music for the love and i'm prepared to spend money on it if i want it (not too much!). Finding a break is just a small bonus. I want records that i can listen to all way through and enjoy. I don't want to buy something i don't like just for just a few seconds of break.

Whenever have i said i'm a big time digger? Whenever have i said i'm the best? I know i'm not the best and i'll admit, but I don't dig to earn some stupid stripes. I'll buy Spice Girls if i wanted to and i wouldn't give a **** about anyone. You could say that i lack knowledge but honestly i don't care because i have my own individual taste.
I couldn't give a toss what Dilla, Primo or what even Shadow uses because i buy records for the love.

Charity shop stuff just isn't good enough in my opinion. I don't care what any of ya'll think. Yeah there are diamonds in the rough, but my honest opinion is that digging in the UK is weak, yes some may say london is great but London isn't all of the UK.

id love to hear your beats...haha

You should try digging in Dundee!

Agree with the buying for the love though. Would be nice to have a few records with great breaks mind you...

Even if you live on the north pole now and days it's easy for anybody to just go on the net and buy off of ebay. I'm not a big fan of that but it's still good from time to time. Given the overall price of things in the UK and Europe I'm assuming that even if you have to pay for shipping, records will still be cheaper than in a store over in London or something ...
