soulvillemartin Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I´m sure this topic has been dealt with before, but I must ask. All these records on Prix, Eddie Ray, Joe King, Royal Esquires etc. that are being sold on the bay, are they genuine? In particular one seller seems to have a never ending supply of few titles, making me suspicious...
Mal C Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) They are, Royal Esquires was a mega Rarity till a load got found, some guy in San Fransisco has a bunch and Funky Feet over here another load from the same batch. there is a track by Eddie ray i think which is a unreleased track they have for sale.. all great records, but then you know that.. mal:) Edited December 20, 2007 by Mal.C.

Think they've just turned up in abundance!!! Perhaps should have waited and maybe got them cheaper, I dunno.

Master tapes, 45's, 3 years worth of recordings (69 - 71) the whole nine yards. All great stuff! Sean

Eccentric Soul - Click here for details Mixed bag really John - I got all the 45s, but apart from the ones you mentioned nothing really stood out. Might need to re-listen to em before someone tells me there s a killer deep soul 45. IS this CD a legit job - properly mastered - or just some bods who dubbed on all the 45s?

It's done from original master tapes. Like everything on that label, the CD is also fully and legitimately licensed and includes extensive liner notes with many photos of groups and artists.

If I ever dispose of my vinyl's I might buy it
Sebastian Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 OK thanks for clearing that up Boba. If I ever dispose of my vinyl's I might buy it All of the Numero label releases are worth their prices for the booklets alone! Definitely buy it and throw away the actual CD if you're sensitive about these things. The unissued Eddie Ray track "Wait A Minute" (which recently was issued on a 7" as well) is truly awesome. And I take it that you haven't checked out their first Deep City compilation either? The unissued (acetate only) tune by The Moovers entitled "Darling I'll Go" is an utterly fantastic uptempo 60s dancer. Who's got the original acetate by the way? It seems to be pretty beat up, but would be nice to know.
