Every once in a while I run into someone who's posted an extreme rarity, and I duly post a link because you may never hear it again. In my twisted type of rationalizing, I figure that if a record sells for $2350, and I can listen to the music without buying the record, ka-ching!, I just saved $2350, thus freeing up funds for some other equally frivolous purchase. Of course I don't run out and spend that sort of money, I just put it in my rationalization account for future purchases in need of rationalizing.
The $2350 gem of the day is a funk record, "Butter Nut - Part 1" b/w "Butter Nut - Part 2" by the Black Truth. This one's posted at The Devils Music, and appears to have quite a history with collectors (including making #2 on "The Top Ten Records That Made Me Change My Pants" list at Soul Generation). The Devils Music's blurb includes this enticing description: "This is THE baddest 45 i have ever heard, the grittiest Funk ever put on record, this is in the top 10 of the most sought after, rarest Funk 45's ever made..." Now, I like to get down as much as the next guy, and do enjoy a good funk record, but I'm not an expert, not by any means. But I do know when a record has that certain something, and this one has it. Plus, you can spend that $2350 you save on the original pressings of the entire Sonic's discography, and still have beer money.

Thanks for putting that up! Didn't mean to make it sound like you spent that kinda dough. I just like the fact that you posted a record most of us wouldn't ordinarily get a chance to hear. Love your blog, just recently discovered it through someone else's blog roll, which reminds me, I forgot to add yours to mine (which I'll do, stat). Thanks again, er..DD.
