Description
Setting the stage:
I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…
RUN-D.M.C:
Queens icons RUN-D.M.C., Joseph “Run” Simmons, Darryl “D.M.C.” McDaniels and Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell didn’t just make hip-hop records, they made rap music a global phenomenon. Dropping booming 808s, hard rock guitar chops and street corner swagger, the trio dragged rap from park jams to global arenas, becoming the first hip-hop act to earn platinum albums, Rolling Stone covers and MTV prime-time rotation. Their fedoras, leather jackets and unlaced shell toe Adidas became a cultural uniform, while cuts like “It’s Tricky,” “Rock Box” and “Walk This Way” rewired pop radio.
Raising Hell (First Pressing):
Produced by Rick Rubin & Russell Simmons, “Raising Hell” is the album that detonated hip-hop’s mainstream breakthrough. It blasted straight to No. 3 on Billboard, went 3x platinum, and turned the Aerosmith revamp “Walk This Way” into the first rap single to crack Billboard’s Top 5. Critics went equally wild, Rolling Stone named it one of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” while it was preserved in the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry for its cultural impact. From the turntable-cut frenzy of “Peter Piper,” to the booming party-starter “My Adidas,” to politically charged “Proud to Be Black,” every track helped define the golden age of rap and still rattles walls today.
