Solid $700 range LP at the moment (despite or in-spite of the reissue)

This person is in for a grand if someone wants to sell it. I might just dump mine at that price. I never understood the big deal around these records. I didn't know it was reissued (or booted?). Hmmmm - I definitely will sell then.

i love the "try me" 45 but the wee LP always sounded like a weak ripoff of what the Isleys were doing at the time, I always wondered if the rare soul people are so out of the loop of mainstream music that they don't know the connnection or if I'm just way off base here.

the CD was legitimately reissued from the master tapes with many unreleased bonus tracks (NOT BOOTED) with extensive liner notes including interviews from norman whiteside from prison by the folks at Numero Group. When someone from the label asked for people's comments here about how they liked the music to send to Norman in a letter, nobody even responded, some fans...

I sent a letter to Mr Whiteside when Rob asked - I think the album is a good listen, like a more interesting Stevie Wonder LP, especially the previously unreleased track I Want To Show You which is a good dancer & really should have been put on a 45 instead of repressing Try Me. And the sleeve notes were awesome.

I think I paid about $200 for the LP, which I found embarassingly high, but has proven cheap over the years. In my opinion, it's not rare enough for the price it goes for.

However, I adore and prefer this slower version of "Try Me" (LP version) and wasn't fussed about getting the faster 45 version for someone who wanted it more (he also had the LP). I never care about musical connections when I'm considering buying because I simply love a song and need to own it. That interest sometimes comes later, unless it's related to finding it. Even if they were copying the Isleys, it stands alone as sublime soul for me - with serious emotion in the voice.

I knew the LP had been reissued, but didn't know it had bonus tracks. Anybody heard these and could comment further?

You should definitely buy the reissue on CD if you like the LP as there are a ton of bonus tracks, all finished and all in the style of the LP, some superior to what's on the LP in my opinion. I think the reissue was also done on LP but I'm not sure if the LP contains all the bonus tracks. There are also extensive liner notes.

OK, thanks. Some of the Owl label LPs were booted in the 1990s (Raven, One St. Stephen). They were done for the rock and psych market. I have copies of unreleased Wee recordings that I got from inside sources a few years ago, I should compare them to the CD then. The material was recorded over a period of a few years. Honestly, the stuff is not really my sound, so I'm not the best authority to speak to the quality.
