Help Needed with Mysterious Lock Groove Break Record

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

This summer a DJ thinning his collection had all sorts of vultures in his Fort Greene apt. I unwisely passed on a $5 hip hop record that was simply several hundred break beats looped into lock grooves.

Yes, I have this, and there's a lovely piece on lock groove rekkids here but no mention anywhere of this break beat lock groove release (a bootleg, naturally).

Anyone know what I'm talking about or know the title? Anyone own it and have any thoughts?

I have a locked groove 7" by Freddie Fresh. It's just a black 7" with a very simply black vinyl label in a plain paper white sleeve. Is that it?

"Several hundred loops" means that it is most likely an LP. 7" records fit about 50 grooves on a side.

I should have been more clear, it was an LP, not a 7" (though that FF thing looks interesting). I think at the time I passed it up because it didn't list any of the breaks, but it does have cover art.

funny you should say that, I passed up a $20 Bunnybrains record at the WFMU fair that would go for much more on eBay.

I don't have any remorse, but it will be long before I see that one again.
