    Much appreciated, Ben. Sounds like cruddy quality control :cry: Although after reading the description on Stones Throw's website, maybe the shady quality shouldn't be so surprising :razz: Check it..

    "On the crime-infested east side of Lost Gates CA, there is a vinyl pressing plant whose brochure says, "will do anything for a price." Back in the 70s & 80s, they specialized in private press porno soundtracks, but these days Madlib is their only customer. "

    Man...I haven't been to Access in a while. I have to go to La Jolla later in the week too, maybe I should drop by. Thanks for the heads up !

    Well both sides/tracks played smoothly so my only real complaints are the paint smudge (I may try to take a pic) and the very rough cut job around the edges. Otherwise I say go for it even as a badass lord quas piece of art for that price!

    Nice find Erik, that's some shady but funny shit!

    And it looks like you may save a buck or two by going through the link analog posted

    Wow - talk about blast from the past! That was one of the first message boards I was ever involved with. I just tried logging in and my account is still active after all these years! I even had two PMs from 2008 - several years after I stopped posting there.

    Haha!, that's great. When I was really into indy rap back in my college days almost every music purchase I made was either direct from artist, or from access mail order. It seems like a lot of the other indy rap stores folded over time, so it's nice to see them still open. They still have their tape section going strong too, which makes me happy, as well.

    Great ! I've got it since it's been released but I still haven't found time or courage to read it. :oops:
    Next holidays for sure !

    Really cool, guys ! I collect Octonauts too. I stopped watching news about Octonauts toys when I found it started to be always the same thing. But these toys really add something new to the toyline !

    Damn, that's another cool book ! Topps made a good collection of books with this one and Garbage Pail Kids and Wacky packages. I don't remember everything which has been done for Mars Attacks anniversary but Mezco made a great job with the toys.

    I got home from work the other day to discover a package containing this birthday gift.

    It really took me by surprise because my birthday was last month, and I KNOW when a package is on the way lol

    Apparently, a very good friend of mine rescued Mr. Coogan here from the Goodwill :)

    Mr. Coogan is creepy awesome. That is a good friend there to give such a great birthday gift. Sadly, my friends don't get the toys things or my true interests (folklore and myth and monsters) and when they try, it is generally way way off base (my mother in law keeps giving me fairy sculptures and seems to think that is what I am into even when I tactfully try to steer her along a slightly darker route....if fairies, at least make them scary like true fairies from folklore).

    Love his face!

    That book is great! It can be had pretty cheaply at amazon.com. That and the rack toys book are some of my favorite American junk toy books.

    Such a great book Lixx! I adore these mail-order ads, have always been addicted to the comic ones, and especially the old Johnson Smith catalogs they used to have. I spent hours of my youth dreaming of all the stuff I wanted to order. This is particularly nice though for having images of the actual products (which were typically huge letdowns :razz: ). The ones shown though are amazing. I am going to have to add this to the wishlist.
