Prize Czech - De La Buhloone Mindstate Promo LP

[Jonny_Paycheck]

True. I'm not trying to diss Howard and I don't check ebay for hip-hop at all because unless we're talking about crazily sought after random rap everything is selling mega cheap.

I don't doubt that Howard might have pulled out a $20 copy at TSL but like I said before, I've also seen it on the wall.

If I got this record again, tomorrow, I would price it at $50 again. It's extremely tough to come by in the real world.

All my schitts are immaculate. And I tracked this record on ebay for a bit. I had a habit of copping multiples of my favorite records for a while, just in case anything happened to my good copy & for the odd trade. I think I got 5 copies of this record over a span of 5-6 years. They were all around the 20-25 dollar range & all are dead mint. I have 4 copies of clearlake, all OG, but that record seems to be worth not so much right now.

All I'm saying, II think Johnny or Cool Chris could put this up on their wall for $50 at their respective stores and the shit would sell, easy. It's entirely possible that one could buy it cheaper elsewhere but I think there's a market out there who'd still drop fiddy on it.
Ha, thanks for the outpouring of, err, discussion on this. I think that clears things up.

I had not ever seen this before. I thought it must be a weird bootleg or something although it looked pretty legit with the tommy boy sleeve and matrix numbers but discogs had no info on it.

You brought up low end theory, I came across a 2LP copy of Midnight Mauraders which is a UK pressing but a legit one as it had really nice inner sleeves that I had never seen on a US pressing. The UK buhloone is kind of dodgey as they say but in the case of the MM release, I consider it the 'good' one.

No idea if they had multiple covers though on the UK release which I would be interested to know if anyone knows.

I was typing in haste because it was almost 5 and I wanted to get out of the office. I wanted to add that the people who deal with records on the daily as a business have a much better frame of reference than someone like me, who just buys records as a hobby. For all I know, I bought those copies because they were cheap & I'm forgetting about copies that came up that were more expensive that I passed on. Also, the TSL price could have been just a nice turn from Jared/Rob/Ras because I used to spend a few hundred there a month. I just tossed out what I paid trying to help out...

I do take serious umbrage with the suggestion that I'd buy a record produced by a major label in large quantities in anything less than mint condition. The only VG + records that grace my collection exist in very few copies, like the X-Clan show vinyls that I copped from Professor X before he passed (RIP). When it comes to my collection, I go first class all the way. Anything else would be uncivilized.

De la Is Dead and Buhloone Mindstate both rarely pop up in the Bay.I would put $50 on them without hesitation.I most likely would ask $75 on the Dead Double.
I got to say though, I rate these higher than most.

Congrats, Zach, on the Chron write-up...

And I've had a copy of that Bahloone Mindstate promo for ages. One of these days you need to come by and I can show you some stuff...
