NY's digging scene is so overpriced its a shame.They still have some nice spots on the under but the whole Manhattan scene is too expensive.Places like A1 and Fat Beats(now closed) especially. I moved to the BAY Area where I can get incredible deals on mad vinyl. I used to sell vinyl on ebay. The most I ever paid for an album in the Bay is $18.00 for a brand new album called IT's Forever by the Ebony's. I try not 2 pay any more than 3$ for one record. It's really about the ear and how you chop.
A lot of people hate on upstate, but if you head up youll find mad record deals in little shops.
Most of the places I frequent don't sort their selections out. The most I've paid for a record in shop was probably 16 for a mint 1967 Iron Butterfly album. I've found some private pressing and single cat# soul and funk records. I picked up a record by a group called Wilmer And the Dukes released 1969 out of Buffalo, $2. and I know I came across the first Sylvers album in a $2 row.
I'm a fan and digger who has shopped at A1 when I can get to New York (rarely) from London. It's a great shop and they consistently come up with new and interesting stock. Find mixes of my collection via @raregrooveprops on Twitter or via the Rare Groove Soul and Boogie Podcast on Facebook.
you can use cd because the cd sample rate is 44100 and 16 bit....still not as warm as vinyl but its pretty much the only acceptable digital form other than wav....
@MayDeefromBK Bullshit, you can't use mp3s and CDs! Man, you can flip ANYTHING and make it sound just as good. You can even sample from VCRs and DVD players :D :D :D
Nice video! I've been on a national tour for 4 months, managing to get in 2 or 3 hours of crate digging each week, some amazing LPs in them dollar bins, yeah man!! jazz, latin, bossa., reggae.that's me.
Diggin is a drug...Im always finding new spots and hate to leave till I go through everything there and sometimes thats a problem...but man the finds you can get. Im always finding something Ive never heard of and after playing it cant figure out why. Great passion/hobby to get into...nothing beats vinyl for sound. Thanks for the video.

I remember the On Track tapes they had. Chicago lost a few great spots like Dr.Wax, the Beat Parlor. We still got Gramaphones, Dusty Grooves.

@BIGDO13 Because people are dumb enough to think those are the only GOOD records out there. ;)
( Obviously many of those records are still worth their value, but only because of their rarity, not because of their content. )
