i've got quite a few sealed copies of mid 80s house from new york and chicago. whenever i open one, i make sure to take a deep breath and hold it for as long as i can.
although i think i sniffed one of larry sherman's farts opening a trax record once.

You must really be a House Head! Not too many people know who Larry Sherman is.

you must be a bit a house head yourself, then.

yeah, i'm a fanatic - every day is 1987 for me. when i first heard house, i asked where it came from, then packed my bags and moved to new york (chicago was way, way too cold for an australian to even contemplate). best thing i ever did.

Once you've had the experience of opening sealed records that are warped (happens way too often) you'll truly lose that appreciation for it. But it is great when the record is ok.
According to an interview I saw with Jesse Saunders, Dj Pierre and a couple of other ol school cats they were talking about how Larry Sherman(who admits it) used recycled vinyl and that's why a lot of Trax's records are warped or of low quality. :(

Yep and extremely bad record pressing. I've had 4 copies of Marshall Jefferson's "Move your Body" and all 4 had the same indent in the middle of a track where it skipped. What's the odds of that? :?
Oh yeah... not to jack a thread but I got to brag... I got a red vinyl Farley "Jackmaster" Funk - "Funkin with the drums again" on Trax Records! I've had that record for 23 years now!

red vinyl? nice one. never even heard of any colored trax pressings.
