Selling my entire One Leg Up collection! Make sure to check out my other auctions.

This is the very rare, limited to 200 copies, DJ Mike Smooth & Shorty Long "The South Boogie EP" released on One Leg Up Records in 2008. The record/jacket/sleeve is in mint condition - only played once in order to record the songs into my computer.

Here is the original write-up + tracklisting taken from One Leg Up Records' website:

One Leg Up Records, in conjunction with the legendary DJ Mike Smooth, is proud to excavate vintage unreleased material from longtime D.I.T.C. collaborator; Shorty Long!

The Bronx native Shorty Long hails from the same Forest housing projects area that produced Lord Finesse, Mike Smooth, Showbiz, Diamond D and Fat Joe. Like his esteemed neighbors, Shorty was also inspired to write rhymes and record tracks; first doing so in the late 80’s. Around 1993, Shorty Long decided to put up his own money and start the indie label; Long Shorr Records. Connecting with Lord Finesse for production, he recorded the 12” “Shorty’z Doin’ His Own Thang” which was released in 1994 and became an instant underground classic. With write-ups in The Source, vinyl spins on Stretch and Bobbito and the accompanying video getting played on video shows everywhere, Shorty Long looked to continue his promising start. He did this by re-connecting with his old friend, Mike Smooth, and adding him as a partner in Long Shorr. From there the duo collaborated on a follow up 12”, “You Know It’s Good Baby” in 1996. While various other songs were recorded during this time, including collaborations with several D.I.T.C. crew producers, nothing was ever released. That is, of course, until now….

One Leg Records has connected with Shorty Long and DJ Mike Smooth to finally unearth these sessions and the gritty 90’s Bronx sound is again brought to life! As he did on his original 12”, Shorty connected with D.I.T.C.’s legendary producers, as well as many of the BX’s finest talents of the mid-90’s era. The songs feature production from Showbiz, Buckwild, Mike Smooth and Ahmed (who some might know originally as DJ Timbalan and then later with Born Lordz). Vocal appearances from John Doe (of Diamond D fame) and Harry-O (of Lord Finesse fame) round out this EP, making it an essential for both D.I.T.C. collectors and fans of the rugged Uptown sound of the mid-90’s! The Bronx was represented properly on this project and why it has never seen the light of day until now is beyond me! Well, One Leg Up has recovered, restored and mastered this 7 song EP to finally be shared with the world. As usual, this record is limited to only 200 pieces in continuance with the limited nature of our series. This vinyl EP will never be repressed or re-issued at a later time, which holds true for all One Leg Up releases.

$14.00 Shipping for the first record, and $4.00 each additional record. Records will be shipped First Class International. This is the cheapest Air Mail shipping option. I will not ship surface mail due to the excessive shipping time. All packages over 4 pounds are shipped Priority International, because First Class International is not available for packages over 4 pounds. Usually packages containing 7 or less records are less than 4 pounds. 8 or more records is usually over 4 pounds.

All USA packages can be insured. It will not be included unless requested by the buyer. The prices for insurance will be as follows:

Records totaling up to $50.00 will be $1.80 to insure

Records totaling $50.01 to $100.00 will be $2.30 to insure

Any records totaling over $300 please ask for a price.

I have not lost many packages in the USA, but a record may have been damaged occasionally by the post office, and I will not be responsible any longer for lost packages or shipping damages if no insurance has been purchased.

International packages will follow my normal routine unless requested. I will not be responsible for lost international packages, or delays created by customs in other countries. Normally I ship First Class International because it is the quickest and cheapest way to send packages airmail. If you want an international package insured, I will have to charge the Priority price, which is almost twice as much as first class international, because they do not allow us to insure packages that ship first class international. Also an accurate package value will have to be declared on the customs forms in order to insure the package for the proper amount. This will create higher customs fees for you when you pick up the package. Unfortunately, there is no other way to insure international packages.
