"rock and soul" record store on 35st and 7th ave in manhattan and " beat street records" on fulton st in down town brooklyn have a good large selection of classics and oldies ( mostly reprints) also in the summer time along smith st in caroll gardens brooklyn theres usualy people out there selling old records for cheaaap. and of course out in the village always people out there selling records for cheap... summers the best time to dig.....

yo how much wud it be to turn a CD into records??

 

[DJFANTOM]

Turn A Cd Into Record.. U Mean A Dub Plate?. Like Average Price Like 25$ For Maybe Upto 4 Songs. I Knew A Guy In Brooklyn Who Did It But I Been Lost Touch With Him.. Quick Question? Why Turn A Cd Into Vinyl.. Man Da Dubplate Is Dead Thanks To The Cd Turntable. I Say If You I8n A Situation Where U Feel U May Need To Control Or Scratch Ur Cds Like Vinyl Then Invest In A Cd Turntable. Will Save You Money In The Long Run( Dub Plates Wear Out Quick).. If Your Talking Bout Getting Real Vinyl Pressed Up Multiple Copies Then Thats Pretty Expensive Nowadays. I Think Ive Seen Rates Like 500 Peices For Like 775$ ...check Disc Makers .
