This page, unlike the rest of the site, is mostly for my benefit - but perhaps you can help help me fill the gaps in my record collection :) I like many frustrated collectors of On-U Sound related product struggle sometimes against a large back catalogue of poorly distributed and low press run product - some of which has been *out there* for well over 20 years. The Discography section is well 'stocked' with the older and rarer material, but unfortunately this doesn't translate into me owning much of it!
Clearly if cash is involved and I don't know you personally then I'd need to be sure that you actually have the precise item I want that you say you are willing to sell, that the price is right, the terms are right, the condition is acceptable to me and in any instance that I actually have the funds to be able to pay you. Therefore do not be offended by any refusal - I may just be strapped for cash at the time!
In the list below 'LP' simply means an album release in ANY format and titles given as '(various)' mean several different items are sought. These then are a selection of my most wanted items - last updated June 2008:
