Its here, along with Special Ed's first album, at www.sandboxautomatic.com

I'm thrilled.

Sorry if this was already posted, I searched for it and did not see it.

Has Breaking Atoms really been OOP that long? It's an amazing album.

(Glad to see Sandbox getting the ilm love, I used to work there.)

Special Ed Youngest in Charge ---- I'm getting a big warm fuzzy right now.

I wish they'd re-release it on tape - and give it that old new tape smell.

i had special ed on tape! awwww, now i'm getting nostalgic. and now i wanna hear ho down.

yeah, I actually just thought about that song when I heard the new Bubba Sparxxx....Special Ed was an innovator of bluegrass-hip hop

I can't believe how long Breaking Atoms has been OOP myself.

let's hope a rerelease of "Word..Life" follows this.

And Vagina Diner, and Runaway Slave, and the LP, etc etc etc

Runaway Slave - yes! I never liked Vagina Diner that much...I thought Akinele was all downhill after Live at the BBQ

You weren't feeling "Excersise" or "Outta State" or "No Exit"?!

ddrake, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 17:31 (9 years ago) Permalink

I poop too much.

Labia, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 17:33 (9 years ago) Permalink

I didn't even know Breaking Atoms or Runaway Slave were outta print--I had no trouble finding them.
But yeah, Vagina Diner next please.

Dude, Breaking Atoms regularly went for upwards of like 60 bucks on ebay all the time.

ddrake, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 18:16 (9 years ago) Permalink

the cd?

oops (Oops), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 18:21 (9 years ago) Permalink

Could this be a bootleg? Sandbox sells ’em all the time.

I don't know, I thought breaking atoms was available all the time on vinyl on "Wild Pitch" imports.

scott m (mcd), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 18:31 (9 years ago) Permalink

I have one actually and it's not even dodgy. And I paid 10 bucks for it, but this was 1998 or 99.

scott m (mcd), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 18:35 (9 years ago) Permalink

hi, i'm going to repeat things everybody on this thread has already said.......no new info here

i have the special ed tape and i bought the Breaking Atoms on vinyl reissue that i picked up in 98 or 99


i remember hearing one single from Special Ed's second album where his style had gotten way more abstract, almost sounded like he was freestyling and it was really cool, but i never heard anything else. was that album any good?

JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 18:53 (9 years ago) Permalink

second special ed was pretty good, but I haven't pull out the cassette in a while...I think the single was "Cmon Let's Move It"

DDrake,

I didn't mind the album so much as the way Akinelye's voice and delivery changed from his early appearances (I think there is one on a Kool G Rap album too)...he got so deep and gruff and always emphasized one word per line he would say really deep like "UTTA" or "BUTTA"....I'm not saying it's a bad album, I was just disappointed when I bought it at the time.

Matt Helgeson (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 19:18 (9 years ago) Permalink

the cd?

Yes.

ddrake, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 19:22 (9 years ago) Permalink

Really? Fuck. I picked that up for normal cd price just a few years ago.

oops (Oops), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 19:36 (9 years ago) Permalink

anyone know who's behind these reissues? a few years ago it was the K.M.D. 'Black Bastard' album now Main Source and Special Ed, can L.A. Star and Tarrie B. be far behind? please.

PeterALopez, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 15:51 (9 years ago) Permalink

That KMD reissue was put out by Sub Verse which is sort of a post-Fondle 'Em Bobbitoless Fondle 'Em. I remembered Fondle 'Em released the KMD ruff & rares thing, so maybe this is all connected somehow, anyone know?

But what I'm saying is, the Main Source & Special Ed records are unrelated to that.

I was thinking the same thing the other day.

I just bought this for 7 bucks. [ /bragging] Should I resell it for something crazy?

The Reverend, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:27 (5 years ago) Permalink

No you can just give it me, 'cause I'm so special.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:27 (5 years ago) Permalink

The inconceivably profuse world of hip-hop sharity blogs rendered this a non-issue for me. I even found the MS B-Sides/Remixes record.

Jon Lewis, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:35 (5 years ago) Permalink

Haha. Fuck off. (Unless you happen to have, oh let's say, $50 you can spare. In that case, yeah, you are pretty damn special.)

xp

The Reverend, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:35 (5 years ago) Permalink

Yeah, but people still buy it for stupid prices and I don't really frequent sharity blogs, anyway.

The Reverend, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:36 (5 years ago) Permalink

Haha. Fuck off. (Unless you happen to have, oh let's say, $50 you can spare. In that case, yeah, you are pretty damn special.)

Hmm, a freelance check DID appear in the mail yesterday...

Anyway I refuse to buy your love. Oh wait.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:38 (5 years ago) Permalink

I found King Tee's Act A Fool ($60 on eBay) for like $5 at a stoop sale!

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:40 (5 years ago) Permalink

Nice.

The Reverend, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:42 (5 years ago) Permalink

And extra copies of the Special Ed debut and MC Serch solo record to turn around on eBay to boot!

Whiney G. Weingarten, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:43 (5 years ago) Permalink

Gotta say it was a good day.

!!!!!!!!!!

Where?

Oilyrags, Sunday, 29 July 2007 16:44 (5 years ago) Permalink

This was last summer. Can't remember what blog. I archived it on a DVDR of MP3s-- lemme find it/transfer it back to computer/up it for you.

Jon Lewis, Sunday, 29 July 2007 17:56 (5 years ago) Permalink

I'd like that as well.

Oilyrags, Monday, 27 August 2007 15:09 (5 years ago) Permalink

I'm curious, is the other MS album Fuck What You Think available currently?

Also, I'm glad someone mentioned Word...Life upthread, it reminded me to listen to it this morning.

Jon Lewis, Monday, 27 August 2007 15:13 (5 years ago) Permalink
