^My drive is a pretty high end Plextor burner from back in the day so I hope it does decode it but that's solid advice, I'll try that to be sure.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
^That sounds great! Slightly related technical question... I know Windows Media Player can properly utilize HDCD discs but how does one know if their DVD-RW drive does? I can't seem to find a source for such information. I assume that most "newer" DVD-RW drives have such a capability but maybe I'm assuming wrong.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

Years ago I had the honor of briefly meeting my techno hero Jack Dangers after he heard this mix. Somehow the mix got to him and he hooked me and 4 friends up with free tickets to his Chicago show at the Crowbar. It was seriously one of the most exciting things that could happen to me at that moment years ago. I kind of forgot about this mix in the years that passed but I know there�by rchecka - Member Submissions

I love that Big Boys album. Knew nothing of them before LM got me into them. Very diverse sounding group, not nailed down to one style.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

I have been worn down about the non word "vinyls" over the years. I stopped correcting people online but I still try to correct people in real life and IMO too often they get angered about the correction adding "English changes all the time you know!" Some people just don't like to be wrong about anything and would rather change the entire English language than change tby rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Another thing I don't like about Vinyl Me Please is the blatant audacity of trying to turn the word vinyl into a verb in their title as if there isn't enough confusion already over the noun.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Toto - Africa Saw this in a Family Guy skit last night and I found myself dreaming about that strange ass song. Why in the world that would cause strange dreams of Toto is beyond me. Some songs you don't want in your head. Some you don't want in your dreams. Get out of my dreams, get into my car by Billy Ocean is another one.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Great topic! So many, but I gotta start with this because nobody beats the Biz!by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
^Dope x3! That's probably the only VMP I would ever buy. I'm just not a fan of their sales model. Messing with the cover art was probably the deal with Main Source but I agree, why fuck with the classic cover? That last joint VA - Culture Power 45 - Fruition LP you told me to get and I got it and hot damn I am glad I did. I got it yesterday and I just finished listening to it aby rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

^Speaking of Stoner Rock... Masters of Reality - Deep in the Hole LP (Bong Load Records) 2017 RE of 2001 ^This official US pressing just dropped this month and as a massive fan I jumped on this. I had the CD when this dropped in 2001 and have always hoped a proper vinyl pressing would come along. This is pretty damn good, mind you, I have all their albums and I'd say it'sby rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
^Glad you got it solved, yes tight belts will definitely do that. You want them tight at first but often with older rubber it can harden in time so if the belt is old even if it was sealed in a bag they can shrink and become brittle.by rchecka - Turntable Help and Technical Questions

QuoteLionsMouth Paul Serrano Quintet - Blues Holiday LP Here is a nice example of where crate-digging for lesser known jazz gems works out. I'd never heard of Serrano, but my thought process was as follows: Cool cover? Check. Riverside Records? Check, classic label Lineup? Pete La Roca on drums, this has to be good... Back cover notes? A Cannonball Adderley Production...okay,by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
QuoteGordon Rekcikssa It is absolutely not necessary to send anything in return, either. Instead, do a random favor for a stranger on the street one day if you can. The Dead's music is a gift to be shared with everyone, and I'm just happy to have been alive at a time and place where I could experience it, and to be in a position where I'm occasionally able to pass along my love fby rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

Lou Rawls and Don Costa - The Soul of Nigger Charley LP (MGM) 1973 ^A difficult one to find if you can imagine that. For as over the top as the title is, this soundtrack is about the most soulful one out of the bunch. Lou Rawls was extremely popular with white cool jazz fans when this movie dropped and he took a big chance with a core audience on being involved on such a controversial filby rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
