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 …

I’ve been working my way through ID’ing the tunes on this set but only managed to nail half of them. It’s mostly progressive house from 1993, so a long way from the standard Easygroove repertoire! Any additional help on solving the missing ID’s would be greatly appeciated. You can download the complete set from Rapidshare or listen to short samples of the remaining unkowns on the tuneID.com page. Here is what has been ID’d so far :
[side a]
00:00 – Lost Tribe – Musika (Bivouac Mix)
03:28 – Franschene – Can You …

You’ll see this tune on various tracklists for Easygroove sets during 1993 (Dreamsacpe 7, Helter Skelter, etc) but you won’t find the tune in discogs or any online shop. It’s often mis-spelled as ‘Costae’ and also referred to as ‘S.A.D. Productions Vol. 1′ making it even more confusing. It’s actually by MC DJ Ribbs, Dave Tidy & DJ Dren. If anyone wants to sell me a copy, feel free to get in touch

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.
