looking to buy some records with good quality scratching on them to listen to so I can develop the skill at home, please reccommend a few names..

a snare hit is best for learning



check Rob Swift, Qbert, Mixmaster Mike. try to imitate dj shadow, he keeps it simple.
Turntable Essence LP is neat
check online scratch tutirials

older albums from the beatnuts , wutang , jurassic 5 , mobbdeep , and shit like that always full of vinyl scratches. Thats when hiphop was hiphop .

naaw rob g those guys DT said are great but they are way to advanced i dont know what exactlly you want to do this this but i sugguest you listen to the creator of the originators wizard graaaaand theo Dst(now known to the nuskool as DXT)

CRAZY CUTS-Dst
why is it fresh-Dst
rock it-Dst
"Adventures on the Wheels of Steel"-Grandmaster Flash's
you know what time it is

justa few there basic scratches smooth and easy better to listen to and disect you will get lost listenin to them other cats they are way to advanced, learn the basic's first then progress you will appreciate and listen longer trust me i have been listening to scratchin since it came out and i still appreciate basic scratch much better , but truntablism scratches are dope too dont get me wrong it's just some times it all sounds the same it just begins to sound like noise.
start basic then go to advanced , you can thank me later.

Watch the DMC championship videos again and again if you wanna learn how to scratch.

Also worth copping DJ Q Berts DVD tutorials. They're both fantastic (I have both).

"took a small sample off one of the names, sounds ok. never sampled mp3 b4., but the sound is not so bad!"
