Expert: MartinStJohn Date: 6/20/2008 Subject: Early Ultimix Issues-complete & partial
Question I have almost every issue of Ultimix Records up to around issue #47. All I need to complete my collection is one or two records from a few of the earliest issues. I'm not sure of titles & artists but I can list the few that I need listing by issue# and side A & B etc. The ones I'm looking for are:Issue #1-side A&B,Issue #2-side A&B & side C&D(the Whole Issue),Issue #3-side C&D,Issue #7-side A&B & side C&D, and finally Issue #10-side A&B. A grand total of seven discs if I'm correct. In short I have a fairly complete Ultimix collection. I'd like these records to be in fairly good condition as most of my collection came directly from Ultimx(minus a few that I purchased from other DJ's) with little wear for the most part. Also I don't want to pay ridiculously high prices as they will be with me to stay,not to be resold for profit. I have every Rhythm Stick Issue ever released,most all Razormaid Issues,two record crates full of Hot Tracks issues and many Prime Cuts issues,so I may also be interested in filling some holes in some of those areas. I'm new to the computer & find myself having some difficulty especially since I was started out on Windows Vista,so please be patient with me as I'm having trouble with things like accessing my E-mail & navigating the net. I also have both of the ten record sets of "The Best of Ultimix"-#1 & #2 in mint condition.My question is if you or anyone you know may have seen the aforementioned vinyl Ultimix records for sale anywhere? My E-mail address is cessure@gmx.com. I'm not a spammer but am having some difficulty making out the charactors in the Spam guard box but think I have it figured out.My computer is clean because I have Norton 2009 and just ran a full scan and only had to clean one area. Thankyou. cessure@gmx.com
Answer I have ran across by accident the Ultimix records i have in my collection..i don't know anyone who wants to part out with their Ultimix collection at the moment. Who knows, tho. It could happen. Someone could sell. You say you have all the Rhythm Stick (you have WHite Rabbit-diebold & Cataluna..lucky dog) issues..well, i'm jealous as hell...i only have a few of them...and have a dozen or so ,but still incomplete list of Hot tracks vinyl(Nrg for the 90s, The Edge Quadrant, and some main HT series going back to 1983!), and some Prime Cuts from 1987-1990, only 2 of the Disc Drive vinyls (disc drive was next in line from the PRime Cuts series), 1 of the Future Mix vinyls, Direct Hit (only like 5 volumes), DMC (4 volumes of it), no Razormaid (highly sought after)(ive heard them tho..and like), a few Funkymix, 1 Rampage series, 4 volumes of MegaMixx (early incarnation of X-mix), Hot Tracks the Edge (2 on cd, 2 on vinyl), Roadkill (1 volume), a rare service called RaveMixx which i'm assuming is a spinoff of XMix (only 1 volume in my collection), and a few volumes of Wicked Mixx as well as Mixx-It. I don't have any vinyls of Art of Mix , heard them tho..great stuff.I am always looking to fill gaps in my collection as well..I don't want to pay the super high prices either. I currently don't have any doubles of remix service records in my collection..however, i do have doubles and even multiples in some cases of standard promotional 12 inch singles that i would like to trade with someone instead of selling.
