God, I love this hobby, and I'm sure many of you have some crazy stories, maybe even crazier than mine! But words really can't describe how happy I am right now, and how grateful I am I was able to connect with that reddit user. And I know the term white whale can be thrown around pretty loosely, but based off the story I just told, I think this is appropriate usage. It just takes me back to those high school & college days, definitely holds a special place in my heart. It's got some of the freshest west-coast sounding production I've heard, and killer features including Kendrick Lamar, Freddie Gibbs, Too $hort, and Rick Ross. This might just be another hip-hop mixtape to many people, but for me, this album has gotten me through a lot of summers and a ton of memories have been made with this in the background. Fast forward to today, and the album arrived in the mail & I couldn't be happier! I didn't think I'd get any biters but someone reached out to me almost immediately and said he frequently sends vinyl to his dad in the states and had no problem getting this album for me. Again, my heart sank.Īs a last ditch effort, I make a post on the Polish subreddit asking if someone would be kind enough to purchase the album for me and ship it to the states. I messaged him to see if he'd be willing to ship to the United States, but I never received a response. Thanks to an extremely fortunate google search though, I was able to find this copy for sale on a Polish site, but the seller was only shipping to Poland. From the time my money was refunded for that album and about a few weeks ago, I hadn't seen a single copy of this album listed for sale on any site AT ALL. We work out a deal, but the morning he was going to ship it to me, he sends me a message saying that he tripped over his cat while heading down the stairs to take it to the post office, and when he fell, he landed on the album and the records cracked. Considering this was only the third copy I had seen listed for sale that year, I decide to bite the bullet and message him to buy. One day, I see a post on reddit and someone is selling this album for $200-$250, can't remember exactly. To me now, $50 for a record is NOTHING, but $300? That's a completely different story. ![]() Little did I know in the span of 3 years, this album has become impossible to find (not to mention less than 80 people have this in their discogs collection) and the only copies on Discogs are priced between $250-$400. Fast forward to 2019 and I'm now graduated with a full-time salaried job, so I decide to look to see what these things are going for. Back then, I thought spending $50 for a record was expensive. I finally acquired one of my white whales, so I think it's time for a story! I started collecting vinyl in 2016 and this was one album I thought would be really cool to have since this is always in my summer playlist, but at the time, I was in college and copies of these records were selling for $50+. ![]()
