**Sales**
So I recently came upon about 800 or so jazz records, a few random 70s and 80s records and a few hundred shellacs. I would be interested in making bulk sales. The more you buy the more you get. I am in PA. Contact me for any questions. I tend to grade harshly and generally go a half grade to sometimes a full grade lower to be safe. But I then price in the middle and to what I know about the overall condition. I take lot's of things into account. I especially grade covers strict. I also grade at a record store, I used to be an editor and moderator here on discogs so I know it well and I have been collecting for 35+ years. These 60-70 year old jazz and old shellac records are a bit different then what I normally sell but I learn fast and I have a memory like a bat. And I like to learn. Hit me if you have any questions. If you order more than $70 I will send you some free $2-$5 type records in VG/VG+ condition as a bonus. Just remind me

I still think the 'Throb' bassline is a prog house banger. That hi hat shuffle over that bassline with the sound effect @ 1:30 is still sick. And finally when that snare hits at 3:30 and the knocking sound doubles up? Still sick. Such a deep banger.

Sakro’s 'Vocalistic' throws it back to the warehouse rave days of the mid-'90s, with its heavy beats and trippy, minimalistic tribal sound. It’s a raw, stripped-back jam that conjures up old memories. Tumero’s 'Gimmicks' closes the EP with a grooving,... See full review
