About Coffey, it's my understanding that anything he did on Essex is cool. Unfortunately, the only records I have seen of his in shops are the later ones.

When I read your post above, Dennis Coffey's Scorpio immediately came to mind...and there it was. I recently got the 45 and have noticed it in a ton of hip-hop records.
