The Champagnes on US Laurie track Crazy, 1963

it came out on a gold skymac label before laurie. skymac pres is rarer, it's also vinyl (which many laurie copies are not). skymac was a new york label and most of the numbers are quality early soul.

i might have a double of this to sell if you're looking, i would have to check (I am going to go through my stuff tomorrow for some other people's requests anyways).

hi boba

got it on advance release and its vinyl

not lookin to buy another copy thanks

[boba]

I might have it on skymac. Either way, I really like this early transitional soul sound but it isn't super collectible (if it isn't hard R&B). Probably mostly interesting to the belgian popcorn crowd.

nice its on a local label

but i don't want sale pitches thanks

i just want info

[boba]

I'm really not trying to push it. You're welcome for the info btw. What other info do you want?

Didnt know it got a release on Laurie.

Sounds better to me.

If i remember rightly it is a piss poor pressing on Skymac.

Cant find mine but no doubt Bob will let us know hopefully.

My skymac record is pressed fine. There's one up on ebay right now ending in a few hours with a sound clip so you can listen.

Oh wait, apparently I just made a sales pitch for a record, even though it's some random belgian dude who has one for sale that I have no connection to and therefore have not provided any useful information to the poster who asked the question.

I told you about another pressing and where they were likely from. I told you they had no more releases. The group membership is not known by soul and doowop collectors so I don't know membership. I was offering to try to look for a copy as a favor to you and that I might not have a copy.

Apparently you do care that "it's getting spins" though, you left that off your list of stuff you were looking to find out.
