DJ What the Bleep

This pertains to: http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/flex_records/flexreflex2/ I am perplexed by the catalogue number of this release as listed. I own the vinyl and the label says RE-FLEX 002 is the catalogue number. The etching says REFLEX002 on both sides. The attached picture shows both. I realize there are two other releases with similar catalogue numbers, so maybe they are dictating what is most accurate. Or maybe they all should be changed to the REFLEX### format.

Marcus Visionary (http://www.rolldabeats.com/artist/marcus_visionary) is the same guy as Visionary (http://www.rolldabeats.com/artist/visionary) and The Visionary (http://www.rolldabeats.com/artist/the_visionary). The real names of each of those entries even reflect this, so make Marcus Visionary be an artist alias, opposed to just a related artist.

http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/alphacut_records/acr007/ The tracklisting on this release currently reads as follows: A1. Alpha Omega - Concrete Pillows A2. Sumone - Rhythm Machine B1. LXC - Lock In It should read as follows: A1. Alpha Omega - Concrete Pillows B1. Sumone - Rhythm Machine B2. LXC - Lock In This is clearly indicated by the etchings and the label which says (on the B side): "that: alpha omega - concrete pillows this: sumone - rhythm machine lxc - lock in" Cheers!

Negative. It has XPR2164 etched in the runout, a couple stamps of "XPR2164" as well as "Shabba Ranks: Let's Get It On" on each side. Then someone wrote by hand "Dillinja Goldie Mix" on one side and "Shy FX Mix" on the other. EPC661166-6 is nowhere on the label or runout etchings.

I knew about the separate forum for runout etchings, but 1) I thought that since the release wasn't in the database already that it could just go with all the info here and 2) that information isn't a runout etching, its on the actual label. It may not be necessary to include in the release's entry in the database, but I thought it was useful info. Let me know if I should make any further action on that regard.

A1. Hooverphonic - 2Wicky (Steve Hillier Mix) B1. Hooverphonic - 2Wicky (DJ Pulse Remix) B2. Hooverphonic - 2Wicky (DJ Pulse Dub) -Catalogue number is written as "COL 663559 6" -The other similar release (http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/columbia/xpr2312/) shows that the artist is "Hoover" and the title is "2 Wicky". Conflicting, but obviously not different. Insight, anyone? -Wasn't sure about the genre... its atmospheric with soft female vocals, really simple 2step jungle beat, really organic.

Kriss Records (http://www.rolldabeats.com/label/kriss_records) is owned by Bong-Ra (http://www.rolldabeats.com/artist/bong_ra). Bong-Ra hails from The Netherlands, thus the label is based in The Netherlands. Reference: http://www.bong-ra.com/biography.html

Originally wasn't sure if this was released on the same Kriss Records that already exists here, but I confirmed it is.

Aphrodite - Sea Mortar B1. Aphrodite - Beautiful Bass -I am not sure of the label. It says "Aphrodite Recordings" on it, but it also has "Recuts" really huge at the top of the label. The catalogue number would suggest that its a recut. Ultimately, however, I think that they are the same label, one is just specifically designated for represses. -I'm not extremely proficient in the old skool jungle genres, but I'm pretty sure this is jungle tekno.

Dynamite Man & The Detonator - Blowin' Up The Spot B1. Dynamite Man & The Detonator - Just Get A Rep -The tracklisting says "C) Yes Yes Y'all (7")", which I interpreted to be saying that the 7" version included that track.

Label: Congo Natty (http://www.rolldabeats.com/label/congo_natty_records) Catalogue: CLC004 Artist: Rebel MC (http://www.rolldabeats.com/artist/rebel_mc) Title: Trinity Way - 2000 / 'Ses' Jungle - 2000 Media Type: 1x12" Release Date: ??? Genre: Ragga Jungle A1. Rebel MC - 'Ses' Jungle B1. Rebel MC - Trinity Way -There is a lot of mystery surrounding this release. I assume it is a repress, but there are very few informative markings on the actual vinyl or the label. The runout etchings only say "Ses Jungle" and "Trinity Way", with no catalogue number. -The label itself only says the following: "Vynil 4" (wtf, misspelling?), "Side 1" or "Side 2", "45 rpm", the Congo Natty Recordings logo, and then "Trinity Way - 2000" or "'Ses' Jungle - 2000". -Anyone with more information on this record would be hailed as a genius. Artist pages: http://www.rolldabeats.com/artist/rebel_mc Reference: http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc/servl...fo?Track=CLC004 My own copy EDIT: Forgot to mention: I previously owned two copies (which I traded away eventually), and the other copy actually had the same track title on both sides but was the same tracks. I can't remember if it said 'Ses' Jungle twice or Trinity Way.

Very nice. Please let me know the verdict when you check it out.

Label: Mango (http://www.rolldabeats.com/label/mango) Catalogue: 12MNG828DJ Artist: Conquering Lion (http://www.rolldabeats.com/artist/conquering_lion) Title: Rastaman Media Type: 1x12" Release Date: 2005 Genre: Ragga Jungle A1. Conquering Lion feat. Burning Spear - Word, Sound & Power A2. Conquering Lion feat. Beanie Man - Rastaman (Original Dubplate Version) B1. Conquering Lion feat. Beanie Man - Code Black -There is a small chance this is the same release as 12MNG828 without the DJ (http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/mango/12mng828/), but two things besides the cat# difference that lead me to believe they are different: 1) the tracklisting is listed backwards (not just sides flipped) and 2) the release year is different (on 12MNG828DJ it says 2005 right on the label). -Burning Spear is uncredited as the album artist is credited as "Conquering Lion feat. Beanie Man" and Burning Spear is not mentioned. -"BLACK007" is etched in the runout. I have no idea what label that is, but there is a small chance it is part of the Formation Colour Series (http://www.rolldabeats.com/label/formation_colour_series). Can anyone confirm/deny that?

Hey Geist! I saw you on here and was like "hey, i've met that guy!". I had no clue you were an active rdb monkey that I now see you are. And yes, I am definitely going to be at DEMF. Its a tradition for me (my first rave ever was an afterparty, my first DJ gig was an afterparty, been there every year), so I will be there holding the habit strong. Are you going? If so, we should definitely meet up. Let me know. Btw, I'm hoping to be more active on here! I've been splitting my collection maintenance between here and Discogs for a couple years and I'm just fed up with Discogs so I'm going to work completely in here and maybe get involved with the community more. Just about to order my red rdb t-shirt and my record bag! Reppin it strong!
