For hip-hop stuff:
Eric B & Rakim--"Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em" LP version 12-inch
Resident Alien--"Ooh, the Dew Doo Man"
Too Short--"The Ghetto" (finally!)
Lord Finesse--"Baby, You Nasty"
On the funk/samples/braekz side of things, I know I got some really good ones, but I'm drawing a complete blank right now. I need to look when I get home.

ANOTHER TURD!!!! Crisco is the best track, but it still sucks.
What's going on here? Am I not hearing the same music?
That LP was patient zero of the "Shitty Hyped Private Press Records" thread of '03/'04!
i missed the 'hype' on it; never'd heard of it til i dug up a copy.
definitely not essential or even great, but the music is well-done. you're right Crisco is the best track. To me, it sounds good. But the rest swings nicely in a 'corny white-guy jazz' sort of way, which i sometimes have a surprising degree of tolerance for.
I'm not the kind of listener who lets the 'private press factor' cloud my judgment of musicianship etc. I just thought these guys sounded like they knew what they were doing, which is something that can't be said for a lot of hyped private jawns
damn, you guys are killin it....
off the top of the head i'd say these are the main keepers:
niagara s/t
kitty winter - gyspsy nova
mombasa 1st

Alexis Korner - Blues inc

Damn RBL posse "Bammer Weed" good looking on that one. I've never seen a copy of that 12 ever.
My Top for 2007:
IGG Band
Cortex
A better playing copy of 24 carat black
Arena S/T
I recently got given a promo copy of this for my birthday from my girlfriend, great track. I love how everything but the drums drop out in the verses.
As far as my best finds go, so many good records turned up for me this year, a few long time wants & a few surprises too.
Grabbing both Little Buck 45s on Seven B from the same box of unplayed Seven B stock copies was pretty cool, unfortunately the Garland Hilton was the only other funky one in there with the rest being country/Don Pittmans.
Also nabbing The Sinceres & a few Fortson & Scott 45s from a different box of unplayed Pzazz stock & promo 45s on the same day as the Seven Bs was cool too, unfortunately all the Fortson & Scotts were their solo 45s not the collabs.
A bunch of other stuff I'm blanking on. Oh yeah, those Board Of Directors 12"s were cool from a financial gain point of view.
I did not buy that much this year, but my best finds were certainly a whole bunch of Bollywood and Lollywood LPs. I found pretty much all the usual suspects within a couple of days and some more stuff I never heard of before. It really sucks that one of the Khyber mail LPs I found looked at least VG+, but played G-. However, 2007 was a good year for records.
Damn RBL posse "Bammer Weed" good looking on that one. I've never seen a copy of that 12 ever.
is there a 12" for this? i have the lp and a bluebird 12" w/bammer weed on the b-side.
