ok, I see your point

Wasn't this about Planet E?

Anyway, I must admid I'm a bit disappointed you can find all of this old stuff on beatport so easily now. I spent years digging up all the great releases on that label...

Still it's good that good music is around legally for everyone now. I just wished more DJs would actually play them from time to time and not only the recent, or better, still unreleased stuff...

I think the older KDJ stuff etc on Planet E will still only be found on vinyl. The good thing about this is that you are not forced to pay the premium prices some of the vultures charge for rare records.

I still want Piece - "Free Your Mind" on Planet E from 1991. Vinyl or digital, I'd like to have it.

@christ: you're not forced to pay these prices. be patient, take your time, look around regularly and you'll find almost every record for a reasonable price - even if it takes more than a year. and those records you can't find for cheap... well that's probably the market price and not the vulture price.

@red kite: word.

I am talking about people that buy 10 copies of say Convextion, in hope of selling it for a high price.
