lucky guys.

In the never-ending quest for records, some guys are luckier than the average music lover. These guys know the right people. And, well, they are music publishers themselves. These guys are Egon and Madlib. 
Recently, Egon wrote a contribution to his "Funk Archeology" series, in which he tells about Madlib and himself purchasing records directly from jazz trumpeter Stanton Davis' own collection. 
The read would make any record collector very jealous. But kindly enough, Egon made a few finds available to listen.

But, just one thing Egon... "[Stanton Davis] later explainted that he had accepted our offer because he knew his records were going to collections where they'd be cleaned, sleeved and appreciated". Excuse me, really ?
