Rusty B’s Gift Picks

1.) OP-1 by Teenage Engineering ($849.00)

The OP-1 is a neat little piece of hardware from this awesome little Japanese firm. I love the attention to detail and the awesome sounds this little beast can make.
Available from Teenage Engineering

2.) B.D.P. “Criminal Minded” LP with Poster ($18.00)

I think I listened to this album well over a 1,000 times and I still find it refreshing to pop on and play every now and then. This was an important album in Hip Hop history and Scott La Rock’s beats still pump really hard. The fact it comes with the poster is pretty fresh as well, I know I’m almost 40 but I will post this up in my bathroom for sure.

3.) V/A What It Is The Singles Collection 25×7″ Box Set ($59.00)

I have a jukebox and I’m always looking for unique 45s to put inside it and you can’t go wrong with The Meters or Little Richard 7″s.
Available at Turntable Lab

4.) Pete Rock & CL Smooth – The Main Ingredient Deluxe CD Boxset ($18)

Pete Rock & CL Smooth came along a bit later in the Native Tongue era, but no less important. I still love this album and this boxset comes complete with booklet and all sorts of goodies.
Available at Turntable Lab

5.) V/A The Funky Side of P&P Records Box Set

More 45’s for my Juke Box, this time with some stuff that is more rare and a bit more raw.
