The Beat Swap Meet was awesome. It didn’t have nearly the genre diversity that I thought it might, but goddamn if I’ve ever seen that many Uptown 12"s in one place. The 4 in the pic (2 Jodeci singles, 1 Lost Boyz Single, and a Heavy D single with Big Daddy Kane, Kook G. Rap (sic), Grand Puba, Q-Tip, plus Pete Rock and CL Smooth) are just a sampling of the goodness, which also included a copy of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery, The Jam’s Setting Sons (the one with “Eton Rifles”!), a Mobb Deep comp, and so so much more.
