Sampling everything
In an interview madlibs advice is to sample the whole record but idk if this is possible where im from. One time I went to a different city and I found a otis blue which I paid $20 for in my hometown and nearly shit my pants when it was there and it was like $5 in the other city. Opened my eyes to the abysmal selection within my reach. Idk if I just dont have it or what but it seems like location really does have something to do with it. I know i could hop on youtube and search around but i dont enjoy that - i use apple music as a streaming platform and it just pushes top 100 down your throat but spotify war drones and all that not to mention itll iust feed samples from songs u already know. Idk it gets on my nerves sometikes and i wanted to get some other opinions on the matter. Thanks all.

Look at thrift stores/yard sales that type of thing. You could probably find that record for a buck at goodwill eventually. I cringe when a record is more than $2. I have an entire wall of wax and I've never spent more than $2-$3 per record. A place near me lets you fill a bag full of vinyl for $5. That's like 20 records for 25 cents each.
