Anybody? I would find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be somebody who has seen this before.

Yeah, cool, that'd be great. I saw the Goldsby writing credit and was thinking at first about Nu-Tone Goldsby, but not the right first initial. M. Smith is credited for writin gthe B-side along with D. Astell and E. King. You ever seen Nay Jean publishing credits? I know I've seen Ladybird on some other records.

I think I heard the Conduc record one time, but I can't remember how I felt about it. I ran into this in an unusual collection of records at a yard sale yesterday. A lot of unplayed small label records spanning a lot of styles, but mostly R&B tinged soul. Here's some sound clips of the Eddie King and Mae B. Mae. I like the B-side better, but I suppose the DJs might like the tempo of the A-side: SOUNDCLIPS (click on links here below): Eddie King Mae B. Mae - Get Off My Back - Jay-V 1001-A Eddie King Mae B. Mae - Really They Don't Know - Jay-V 1001-B -s

Anybody know anything about this one? I just picked this up yesterday on the South Side of Chicago and can't find any listings for it. Surprising, because it's got a sound I would think R&B leaning Northern DJs would be into. I'll put up soundclips if anybody's interested.

You've got this 100% correct. Brad was put out of business for a year by the fire, and he lost a lot of money during the process. The Johnny on the Spot, Ravins, etc.... records he's been putting up the past month came from his own DJ box in an effort to get enough money to get business up and running again. He finally got enough, got the shop on Woodward opened up, and then immediately the 2 Lester Tipton's and 1 Al Williams came in the door like some sort of perfect record karma waiting to greet him at the new store. Dude deserved it given the trials he's been through. What makes Brad special is that he is probably the most kind-hearted record dealer I've come across ever. The amount of money he paid the lady who brought the La Beat records in is beyond what any of our greed would allow. It's funny to see people questioning his character and suspicious of his words, but, seriously, Brad isn't capable of lying about something. If he says it's the last copy, which it is, then everyone can have high confidence that it's the last copy. If you ever meet him in Detroit, you'll understand immediately.

Hi guys, Please check out the listings I have up on ebay right now. Lot's of clean northern standards, an unknown, strong modern selection, etc.... https://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsharlow45 Scott

Brad only got two copies of Lester Tipton. Came from an old friend of Lou Beatty.

I'm looking for a copy of: Black Magic - "Strong Message" "Brainwash" on BET Admittedly, this is a funk record, but I was hoping that someone here might have one sitting at the bottom of one of their boxes! Will pay lots of $$$$ for this one!! Email at scottdharlow@yahoo.com or pm

Whoa, I had posted that five months ago. How did you find that post? Anywho, I've got a VG- copy right now, and I am looking to mint up. Thanks for the offer nonetheless. I'm also looking for a copy of the The Expos - Your Best Friend And Me - Stall. I've got a G copy of that and am looking to mint up. Scott

Anybody have a clean copy of the The Expos - Your Best Friend And Me - Stall for sale? Please pm me or email me at scottdharlow@yahoo.com Thanks! Scott

Have an unplayed copy of: Bobby Richardson - Case of the Blues - Travel 5309 for sale for $200. PM me or contact me at scottdharlow@yahoo.com if you are interested. Thanks! Scott

I DJed with Brad at the Ann Arbor Soul Club last weekend, and he played that Ravins. It may have been trashed, but it sounded great blasting out of the club speakers....and the 200 people slam dancing to it seemed to approve as well! Dave Hamilton is the business....gospel, funk, jazz, soul, weird poetry records......dude did it all and did it all well. Scott

I've heard the Mellotones on Jason's site. Lonely Man sounds like the exact same backing track as the Versatiles. And dude, you answered another question of mine. I keep talking to different people who have found the Mel Britt record in Gary and was beginning to think that Mel Britt was a Gary dude. I guess that is confirmed! Scott

Yeah, there are at least a few different Steeltown labels, so it does get confusing. Jason from Indiana45s was never sure about that Del Chontays Steeltown being the Gary, IN Steeltown. Boba it sounds like you are certain that Del Chontays is NOT the Gary, IN Steeltown. I'll make sure and tell Jason. And yes as Boba said, the Ben Brown is definitely the Gary, IN Steeltown. Ben Brown co-founded the label. And the copy that's up on ebay literally came out of the rubble of his long abandoned record store in Gary. The Kenneth & Delroy *is* pretty common. CheltSoulNights: Did you say you have a copy of: 684 - The Jackson Five - You Don't Have To Be 21 / Some Girls Want Me For A Lover - 1968 for sale? If so, where is your site, I would like to purcahse this. Also, does anybody here have a copy of the Mellotones on Steeltown for sale? Boba, you got this? Scott

And many Chicago northern soul classics up on ebay right now. Please check them out: https://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsharlow45 Thanks! Scott

Anybody have a copy of this? Will pay $$$. Please pm or email scottdharlow@yahoo.com Thanks, Scott

Here's a scan. Is anyone familiar with this one?

Anyone got this? Will pay $$$.

Anybody heard of this? Johnny Love - Rain Drops - Nova Not a northern sound by any mean, but I like it a lot. Rhythm machine soul. Need to Mint up.

Yeah, agreed, though it's hard to compare a soul record to a funk record. And yeah, I had picked up on the Duettes connection from Soulful Kinda Music. Oh, I listened to your best of the year radio show last week dude.....some great stuff in there. Enjoyed it. Hi Andy!
