If you’ve got a fair amount of vinyl and you live somewhere near an Ikea, then the chances are your storing your tunes in an Expedit. It seems perfectly designed for the job – mine’s probably 5 years old now and apart from the odd chipped bit of laminate, it’s still as good as they day I assembled it. Anyway, this is not an advert for the wares of Ikea but a look at vinyl storage. A while back on b2vos a few members posted up pics of their record …

Hetzer on discogs suggested, “Computing a *relative* Score = Wanted By/Owned By, i.e. the higher this score is the more obscure is the release.” might throw up a nice list of obscure tunes … and he’s not wrong! So that’s the final list of ‘wanted’ tunes I’m going to run off. I’ll try and think of a few more useful things to do with this data. All suggestions gratefully received.

spa5tik0lonz on the UK Oldskool Hardcore discogs forum suggested it might be nice to see some really obscure wants. I’m always up for a suggestion. So, below are the 100 most wanted releases that are ‘Not On Label’. Some real obscurities in amongst this lot!

Welcome to the next in my series of postings about the most wanted UK old skool hardcore releases. Here are the top 10’s for the other more obscure formats (who buys their hardcore on 7"!!) ordered by most wanted. Some interesting nuggets come to light here, like the ‘Waves Of Extinction (Hardcore Rebellion)’ by Orca and the Video EP by Sonz Of A Loop Da Loop Era.

Following on from yesterdays 100, here is another 100 most wanted … but this is created to try and identify the more obscure sought after tunes. So the criteria for the tunes below is that more people must want them than own them, and this does seem to throw up a pretty good list of rarities.
