probably the best example of a well-executed run-off lock groove at the
end of an album that i've heard is on death in june's "nada"  the last
number flows into a really pretty lock of bells. mastered by dennis at
porkys i believe (along with many great records from the eighties i
might add)

i think it's probably easier easier to pull off a run-off lock with
non-percussive music. getting the needle to fall into the groove _right_
 in with the the beat seems like a pretty hard to thing to do. there is
also a very nice lock on jeff mills "humana"
although if i remember correctly there is quite a nice percussive lock
groove on jeff mills "humana"

speaking of locked grooves... when thomas brinkmann was in my city he
showed some of the guys at a local store how to use a razor to cut up
the last groove on a record into a lock groove. it's actually pretty
easy.
