Robert Parker (without listening to it)?

Think the real issue is that the description is wrong as it suggests a Monarch stamp is a Nashville stamp. So anyone who knows that Nashville means authentic is possibly being misled - whether intended or not. Richard

Go Pied Piper ... Go Pied Piper!!

When I first started collecting as a youngster I didn't even know what had been bootlegged let alone the differences between boots and originals. It was pre-internet and pre-bootleg guide days too. Therefore, I always bought stuff from big name dealers at the time to be sure I was getting originals - the usual suspects, and I won't name them in case it upsets anyone. I sometimes look back at a few of the records I still have that I bought at the time and there are a few that stick out now as bootlegs - even though they were bought as originals. One that is obvious now is The Royal 5 on Tyler. Still pisses me off as all records were listed as originals. That said, I have not made my mind up about sellers these days giving all the details of the actual record for sale to allow a knowledgeable buyer to see what is being sold is a bootleg (which should not be sold on eBay anyway, which for some will be reason not to say 'bootleg'). Worth comparing to what happens in life when you compare record buying to other areas like buying a holiday, or a house or a car. There's a lot in caveat emptor. Cheers Richard

Option 2 is more fun Then you should see if he/'s really interested and maybe get him better informed and involved - like do the chap a decent CD of your fave sounds? I was once having a chat about music with my team in the pub after work. When asked, one of them said his favourite music was "Northern Soul". I said "what's your favourite record?". He thought for what seemed like ages - than said Tony Clarke - Landslide - could have been worse Cheers Richard

On the connections between REM and HI-Lite these are pretty clear. For instance: Hildale Music Co. - widely appears as the publishing company on on REM and Hi-Lite labels. Dorothy Pierce is the writer on several - e.g. REM #101 Sandy & Sty-letts and Hi-Lite #106 Elites. Meehan appears as producer on REM #105 Gwen Owens and as writer Pat Meehan on Tommy Frontera "Dry Your Eyes" (un-numbered) on Hi-Lite From what I can find the only connection that Raldo had with REM/Hi-Lite is that the numbering system printed on the label is prefixed with the hash symbol # Cheers Richard

Robb - what is the Elites on REM? Do you mean Raldo and Hi-Lite? Cheers Richard

Some nice records being played tonight - and quite smooth technically too Cheers Richard

Yes - Impacs is the instrumental flip to Gwen Owens. There's also this one: Frank Kinsel - Frankie She Don't Love You/ Have Faith In Me (REM #106) Cheers Richard

Holland-Dozier-Holland is mainly crossover-pop so they can't win Come on Pied Piper - true Detroit soul music

Carol Jones has two different looking labels with different release numbers on Mutt - and three different mixes - at least of the other side "Don't Destroy Me".

Which version Gerry please? Cheers Richard

Hi Dazz Thanks! Yes, it's the Gwen Owens label. Anyone know the origin of the name please? Cheers Richard
