Talk and share knowledge on rare records, sources of new samples, vinyl, diggin, etc

No sir , I rarely fail in this particular sport and I'm not hung up on the subject because I'd say about 98% of my collection are original pressings . I'm not that other dude , trust me .

I still stand by what I said though , some second pressings are as hard to find as first pressings and they demand alot of money - therefore they are valuable too . this is a fact . I'm well aware that they are not the og pressings . And I'm not talking about bootlegs or reissues you can get from Dusty Groove . Take the Ju Par Universal Orchestra " Moods & Grooves " lp for example . I've had 3 copies , 2 were the first pressings and 1 was the second . The second pressing with the woman with the headphones on the cover is just about as hard to find as the 1st pressing with the waterfall , sh1t I can't tell the difference! lol . The 1st pressing was probabaly pressed in smaller numbers , so of course it would be slighty harder to find then the 2nd , but it's been about 32 years since either one was pressed so theyre both gonna be hard to come by in the FIELD . A rare record is a rare record .

Fair enough. My only issue was when you said this:
Mr Guiness wrote:Me personally I dont consider a record pressed a decade later OG , but 2 years yeah .


and

Mr Guiness wrote:some second pressings are still legit , cause they were pressed by the original label so technically it's still an og pressing , just pressed at a later time .


While I agree with you about some second pressings being more scarce than the first pressings, and am well aware that second or third pressings (even reissues in some cases) are rare and highly sought after - thus commanding high prices - I just wanted to make it clear that a second pressing is still not (or will never be) an "OG pressing".

If you are as serious into collecting as you say you are, you will know this to be true. Collectors will call you out if you hold a second pressing or a third (or a reissue) out as an OG pressing. That was the point I was stressing.
Keep digging... :wink:

Now, can we get back on topic - anyone got any gems?

Every week you drop a gem from your sample library - be as generous as you like. Doesn't have to be super upfront or anything, but you still gotta come correct. 8)

Anyway, I'll go first:
Hiro Tsunoda - Type A To E

Tight japanese drummer from the 70s, this is a real nice collection of tight breaks probably made for a Library record, I pulled it off a comp. Perfect for hip hop, loads of tight kicks and snares, splashy tops. Makes you wish it was type A - Z. I couldn't find a picture, but I reckon this is what he looked like.

Thanks man, those drums are nice. I made this uh...'beat'? with 'type A' (no other samples used, just my minimoog and bass guitar)

I know this pack was posted a while back, but the links seem to be dead. This is the Declassified breaks pack, which I originally got off the Dogs on Acid forum many moons ago. Chock full o' fun breaks to mess around with!

This is some great stuff! Thanks for posting this! The only problem I have is that you have to edit most of the names before loading into the Mp. I think the limit of characters in a name is 16. Meaning that if you transfer a folder that has several samples, all of the samples with a name larger than 16 characters will not play. Does anyone know a quick way to edit several file names at one time on the PC before transfering them? Or do you have to go through and edit the names of all of these samples one by one?
