I *really* like Headz and Dope on Plastic is pretty good too. I once asked for comments on Royalties Overdue and good two opinions: one said it was much better than Headz, the other that Headz was better. I decided not to pick up on it. I did buy Strictly Turntablized on Mo Wax, its just ok, not as good as Headz, but it does go nicely when you want a hip-hop instrumental going in the background when friends drop by. Someone recommended some compilations by Dorado, but by the time I got to the record shop they were gone. Might want to take a shot at 9 Deadly Venoms - its pretty damn good too, the music is in this funky vein with dialog culled from various movies like Eastwood's High Plains Drifter. Always sells out at my record shop whenever it comes in. "toke `em up, toke `em up" - Dope on Plastic
