Description

I have been spinning and collecting records since the mid 80’s.  My collection consists of a wide array of music mostly made up of disco, Chicago label house music of the 80’s and 90’s, some Detroit techno as well as classic and obscure Italo.  My collection has a strong presence of items from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and some from the 00’s.  Those who know me in the Chicago and New York area know that my collection has some very unique items.  While I don’t have everything, I do have very very many of those songs played on WBMX and WGCI throughout the 80’s.

 

Sadly the time has come for me to unload some of my most prized items as well as some of my extra copies of other things.  I will be posting some items that I consider to be rare and those items will have serious reserves.  Most other items will be posted without any reserves and will sell at whatever the market will bare.

 

I will be using my best judgment when describing each item’s condition and I will be posting one picture with each auction.  I do have the ability to provide sound clips but will need a few days to do it.  For those wishing to hear a sound clip, I only ask that you be legitimately interested in the respective auction.

 

Describing record conditions are subjective in my opinion so I will not be issuing refunds for items that are differentiation in interpretation of condition unless I am grossly misrepresenting the auction.  In other words, if I lie, I will be glad to issue a refund but I won’t be issuing a refund for an item that I call very good that someone else feels is just good.  Where I list my records, I do not have the ability to listen to the each item’s condition.  However each record will be cleaned with a record cleaner and it will be visually graded on the following level:

 

Mint = unopened

Excellent = appears to be played very few times and should have no audible noises

Very Good = few or no visual marks and appears to play very well

Good = more than a few marks and appears to have some potential surface noise

Fair = definitely some surface noise and potential skips

 

I will always advise if there is writing on the label and if the item will come with an original sleeve or picture sleeve.  Some items may not have an inner sleeve.

 

With all of this said, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions.  Good luck to all!

Comments:     This is in my opinion one of the rarest Italo pressings ever.  Before this hard to get record was even pressed on DID, a small press run was run on Shake Records.  This is, to my knowledge, the only pressing ever on the Shake label.  Novaga, the producer of classic cuts like Stopp (I'm Hungry) and Africa (AIE) is the man behind these tracks.  The classic track on this record has been dropped by virtually every major DJ in the States.  Even today, you'll hear guys like Bad Boy Bill and Frankie Knuckles using this.  As a DJ/collector for about 20 years, I have seen this record once -- and I bought it.  I am putting what I deem to be a fair reserve on this record given its rarity and its excellent condition.  I personally have only played it but about 3 or 4 times ever!  I'll say this, if the reserve isn't met, it's going back into my collection for a long time.
