Probably got lucky at an estate sale/auction/barn sale!  I always dream of stuff like that happening to me, and I've gotten some pretty good deals before. Nothing like that though.

 

About me: This account has been created solely for the purpose of selling records from the collection of long-time Bay Area DJ Matthew Africa. All proceeds from sales will go directly to his family. For more information about my sales history, please refer to my main ebay seller account, boola_boola. There you will find over a decade of exemplary feedback and service ratings. 

 

For those who don't know, Matt Africa was one of the deepest record collectors in the world. His taste was legendary, even among the most respected DJ's and collectors, and he was an amazing person as well. He was killed in a car accident almost 2 years ago, leaving behind a wife and daughter, so friends have been helping his family liquidate his collection to provide for them. If you have any interest in soul/funk/jazz/hip-hop etc you need to keep an eye on the auctions coming from this account, his collection was the stuff of legend, except a real thing built by one guy with hard work and great ears. You can still hear some of his amazing podcasts here http://matthewafrica.podomatic.com

 

RIP Matt...

Did this guy seriously ask the artist to sign this record ON the vinyl? OVER the grooves?? With a thick SILVER marker?!?

Is that how little these Mondo collectors care about the music...?
