Whilst lazing around on Sunday reading through some old record lists (ah the exciting life I lead!
and going through the usual hyped up descriptions of average tunes, I thought that there should be a translation for common dealer phrases to help the inexperienced collector.
Here are a few I've come up with:
The US Hip Hop producers are going crazy for this! Drums for days/somebodies got to sample this!
= There is not one decent track on the whole LP
Getting attention at the moment, buy it cheap now before it goes massive. Just remember what happened to '......' (insert name of track that was hugely popular last year and now can't be purchased for less than the price of a second hand car)
= The dealer has found five 100 count boxes in the drummers garage.
Could it be Hawkshaw?
= I think we all know the answer to this one.
Sounds just like Placebo!
= A dire 70's rock/jazz fusion record
It's massive for Keb = It's a sub-standard disco record he's played once at Madame Jo Jo's
Well that's some off the top of my head, can anybody think of any more?
