If you read the BART forums then you have probably already seen this post, so I apologize for the double post, but since all of you here are the real collectors I can't forget about ya...
I ran into Skip Dog of E.Z.S.D. over the weekend and he had a box of limited edition 1st The Money Then The Power solo albums from 1996! S.D. added 2 bonus tracks that have never been heard before, and he also updated the cd art with a new picture. If you haven't heard this album its by far some of the dopest bay area mobb beats around. I threw the couple extra copies I purchased on my website if you need them. Get them before they're all gone! http://www.cashflow420.com/store.php

Hope he doesn't put out too many of this "re-release". That's ridiculous. What's next, a re-release of the bible? Why oh why don't they jus leave well enough alone? Only ppl who are educated on the music should have it anyway... And most of them already got theirs...

It's his own fucking cd and it is not ridiculous to re-release something there is a demand for. A re-release of the bible? You are an idiot.

Skip Dog is heated that the Japs re-released his E.Z.S.D. album and got paid more than him for it. He's beating them to the punch with this one. The real collector / Skip Dog fan who already owns the original would of course pick this up as well because of the bonus tracks and the updated artwork.
Expect the Madd Currency special edition re-release in a few weeks. From what he said he's got a bonus track on that one as well.

My feeling is that since I only see cash on amazon and other sites selling this "re-release" then as soon as his supply dries up the price will go way back up. As the originals are non existent. Unlike the situation with the tech n9ne-celcius where you saw 500 sellers pop up with reissues for next to nothing and that cd is forever dropped in price.

Cash why don't you sell it for $50 or $75 for the skip dog reissue? It is a fair price given how good the cd really is and that the originals are nowhere to be found. Selling it for $15 is just not right and does not give the respect to this release that it truly deserves.

As much as I would like to make all that cash selling them for $50 each, its just not right to gouge folks like that. Skip Dog is selling these out the trunk for $10 each, so it's only fair to offer it to the internet community for as close to that as possible as I can. Its a dope ass album that needs to be heard, hopefully people don't sleep on this release. When other sellers eventually get their hands on some copies they can charge what they like, but until then thats the price playa. I'm glad to hear you respect his music. He has a bunch of projects in the works, I'll be sure to keep everyone posted.

Excuse me, Sean, but when did you change your mind about greediness? I recon you were talking about other sellers demanding insane prices for CDs, and now you are talking about selling re-releases for $50-75?

I didn't change my mind about greediness. I just would vote for greediness to preserve the respect for original releases over the constant need to re-issue and re-release everything on a whim. And to spite everyone that comes out of nowhere with "the rights" to press up "as many copies as they feel like selling just to cash in". There is no need to re-release this cd, nor most others out there. Plenty were made to begin with. They just disappeared over time but as I said most ppl who know about the music have it. To put a high price on re-releases would make people not want to buy them as much and therefore eventually stop them from coming out. Because honestly if you had a choice of paying alot for a re-release and paying alot for the original, which would you choose?

OK, but the reason why artists like Skip Dog is re-releasing his record is still to sell his records and to make money. Pressing CDs cost money too and why put a high price on your re-release just to sit with it stored back home because no one buys it?

I don't have a problem with re-releases, although I prefer the OG if I have an actual choice. The first and foremost important factor is the music, whether it's OG or re-release, as long as it's official. Then, if OGs cost $70+ and re-releases cost $15 I'd go for the re-release first and then take the time to wait and see if I can scoop an OG fairly cheap by coincidence.

Based on your comment it seems like your opinion is based on a wish to keep your collection as valuable as possible. But still, a CD ain't worth shit in cash back home, its only financial value is shown at the time you sell it. and you're primarily a collector and not a seller, right. To a collector an OG collection is always more impressive than a mix of OGs and re-releases, but I still feel that the most important is to actually get the music, officially released. But I respect your opinion on this issue. My view is based on the fact that I might have many more hard to find records left while you might have most of the rare albums in question already.

BTW, I have the OG skip dog release from way back in the days :cool:

Same here, I also have the og of that cd. Got alot of respect for skip dog's music. It just pisses me off that the re-releases come out and devalue and disrespect the og's of the music. That is all I'm saying flow... Who wouldn't want their stuff to stay valuable? That is just icing on the cake. But it is far more important that commercialism, capitalism, and just love for money doesn't ruin what is there. No it won't change the music, but it changes the perception of the artists as well as everyone associated who is doing the "repressing". Yes it costs money to repress, but in most cases they are making huge profits off re-issuing these rare releases. Didd you ever wonder why they choose certain releases? And choose a certan time to do it? Everything seems to be so calculated and contrived. I have no problem with the artist making money, but this is also a hobby for me and others and the "cashing in" takes away from the fun of it.

Yeah, I see your point but in this case it's the artist himself that is re-releasing an album, and I personally feel that re-releasing your own album and charging such a high price for it, such as $50, would be extremely disrespectful to your fans.

I bought the OG, sealed, on eBay a couple years ago for only $24.99. I guess whoever was sellin it didn't know what they had.

Thats a come up for sure Mexicalian82! I've only come across one mint copy in all my years of diggin... Maybe the re-release may be worth something someday eventually, you never know? Isn't the re-release of the Rappin' Ron & Ant Diddley Dog worth more than the og? Anyways, I started collecting for my passion for the bay area mobb style music, and that will never change. I just so happens the shit prefer to listen to is worth money.
