Rom1 Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 hi folks,cud anybody help wiv these? wot price etc. bought years ago wen i dj,d in france at a festival.. thanx.ktf............BURT.x Hi, Burt, nice French collector item you got (specially if it's in mint condition), 5 to 10 Rhythm & Blues mini LP's serie came out in France in the 60's (maybe more?) including Otis Redding, Arthur Conley, Booker T & Mg's, Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Percy Slegde, Jimmy Hendrix Experience (the rarer & highly collected because of Jimmy Hendrix), Eric Burdon & The Animals (not sure)...and few Stax-Atlantic compilations. These mini-LP's are part of different 60's R&B-Soul collections & compilations issued in France named "Rhythm&Blues Formidable", "Surboum", "Terrible", "Remarquable"...(with 1 to 13 volumes for each collection, some with interesting labels & tracks as Chess, Jubilee, Revue...) Mini LP's are often found in bad conditions as it's small & very fragile (that's why they probably stopped production) Personnally, I never really collected these records because it's unplayable and artists/tracks are too common (good but ultra classic)...I let these to "stamps" collectors... Hope I helped you ROMAIN

AV SUM OV THESE ASWELL? ALL INFORMATION IS A BONUS.....THANX..BURT.. Hi Burt, no probs,...4 Tops is a spanish pressing (a lot of Tamla Motown stuff came out in Spain with nice sleeves), Supremes one seems to be a belgium,dutch or german pressing. Me & one my old best friend (Stephane "Doc" Yver) are working on a book including colour scans with all French 60's stuff came out on 45 format...as it doesn't exists. At first you can see few samples (this is not complete, we've hundreds of scans & references to add on) on my friend's website (on Labels Fran§ais icon) : https://alamod.net/pa...dules/sections/ The site is quiet as this time, because the webmaster is on holidays, so if you wanna register, you should wait the end of august to do it... Cheers Romain
