If it doesn't cite "The Rappin' Duke," it ain't worth the paper its printed on, that's all I'm saying.

Dave Tompkins loaned me his copy, and I think I noticed that it was missing one of the early Schooly D singles, and the Treacherous Three album. Also, I hate how the records are listed by labels and not artists (unlike that olld new wave discography book called *Volume*)

I mean, basically it's just a CHECKLIST. Though it does confirm that I own lots of really really rare records, for whatever that's worth.

Yesss....the Rappin Duke...very important single, that was.

This book sounds amazing.

Matos, do you have that photobook Back in the Day? I read an article about that but it was pretty spendy so I didn't order it.

I don't, Matt, though I've looked at it and it's pretty fucking great.

Well, Chuck, it's a discography--what do you want?

Though it's possible I just couldn't FIND them. Which is just as bad, probably.
