WHATS UP, THIS IS MR DILLIGENCE b/k/a DILLY from TRP/NME… IF YOU ARE READING THIS, THEN YOU PROBABLY KNOW AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME AND/OR NME WRECKIDZ IN GENERAL… WHAT YOU ARE HOLDING IN YOUR HANDS IS A PIECE OF NME HISTORY. WHEN I STILL WORKED AT GUITAR CENTER AS A PRO AUDIO SPECIALIST, I STILL HAD YET TO BUY MANY KEY COMPONENTS TO MY CURRENT STUDIO, AND AS OF YET HAD NO COMPUTER (THIS WAS 1998), AND NO CD BURNER. MOST OF MY CURRENT EQUIPMENT I BOUGHT AT REDUCED/COST PRICES FROM G.C. BEFORE I STOPPED WORKING THERE, EXCEPT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM I CUSTOM BUILT AND BOUGHT A FEW MONTHS AFTER.

THAT IS WHEN I PUT OUT THE FIRST TWO OFFICIAL CDS FROM NME WRECKIDZ, TRUE PERSUASION AND KLOUD 9. I SAY OFFICIAL, BECAUSE BEFORE THAT I RELEASED ONE CD IN OUR TRANSISTION FROM DEMO CASSETTE TAPES TO OUR CURRENT CD FORMAT. IT WAS CALLED “TRIPLE THREAT”, AND I MADE 300 COPIES OF IT WHILE I WAS AT WORK AT GUITAR CENTER, HAHAHA. WHAT CAN I SAY…

ANYWAY, I MADE 300 DISCS, 50 OF THEM WERE “CLEAN” RADIO FRIENDLY VERSIONS AND HAD BLUE XEROXED COVERS, AND 250 HAD WHITE COVERS AND WERE THE DIRTY VERSIONS. I SOLD THE “WHITES” AND GAVE AWAY MOST OF THE “BLUES”, IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO GET SOME RADIO AIRPLAY FROM COLLEGE STATIONS. WE SOLD OUT QUICKLY, AND I LOST MY ONLY MASTER COPY OF THE CD, AND TRIPLE THREAT WAS OUT OF PRINT, GONE FOREVER, MOST COPIES PROBABLY EITHER LOST OR DESTROYED…. UNTIL TODAY.

I WAS GOING THRU SOME OF MY OLD STUDIO STUFF, AND RAN ACROSS 23 COPIES OF THIS SOUGHT AFTER CD, OUT OF PRINT CD…

23!! SO I’M KEEPING ONE FOR MYSELF, AND WHEN THE WORD GOT OUT ONLINE THAT I HAD SOME, PEOPLE STARTED BIDDING ON THEM, GETTING AS HIGH AS OVER $20.

WELL, KNOWING ME I THOUGHT I HAD A DUTY TO GET THESE RARE AND OLD CDS TO OUR FANS, BUT I’M NOT WILLING TO SELL THEM FOR OVER $10… NOT SAYING I THINK THEY’RE NOT WORTH MORE, TO ME THEY ARE PRICELESS. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TO HOOK UP OUR FANS REASONABLY, AND WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO DO SO.

THIS CD FEATURES MANY UNIQUE THINGS. IT IS MIXED DOWN IN MY “OLD SCHOOL” STYLE OF MIXING FOUND ON THE NOW EXTINCT NME DEMO TAPES. THESE ARE UNIQUE MIXES AND ONLY EXIST ON THIS CD. ALL OTHER MASTERS I HAD ARE LOST. THE MOST SPECIAL THING ABOUT THIS CD IS THAT IT HAS SHAM’S ORIGINAL VERSION OF “GOLDEN RULEZ”. WE ENDED UP LOSING THE VOCALS TO THIS TRACK, SO HE RE-RECORDED THEM AND ADDED ON A THIRD VERSE, THE VERSION ON SHAM’S FIRST CD “LET ME TELL YA”. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED THESE MIXES, BUT THE LOST VERSION OF GOLDEN RULEZ IS A TRUE FIND FOR ME...

THE OTHER SONGS WERE REMIXED AND PUT ON THE DUNJEN, SHAM AND DUBL DRAGUNZ CDS. THANKS FOR OWNING A PIECE OF MY HISTORY, AND I’M GLAD THESE COPIES ARE NOW AVAILABLE AGAIN, FOR THE LAST TIME.
