    Great point! I am sure it was awesome and wish i could have been there.

    I grew up in Cincinnati and saw these bands back when I was in high school (the Raisins, Ricky Nye's various groups, etc). Cincinnati always had a great mixed race R&B scene - it sits right on the Mason/Dixon line, and was a draw for both hillbillies and black folks to try their hand at King Records. Used to go to bars and see bands like Big Ed Thompson and the All Stars and H-Bomb Ferguson belting out this kind of music all the time. Last time I visited Cincinnati I found this plaque for H-Bomb...

    spending more money on fewer items - actually want to reduce my collection but have better stuff in it (got a lot of deadweight that can be trimmed).

    I live in Cali - was just in NYC and was gonna hit them up again but didn't have time. I got KILLER gospel there last time - cheap! ...my only complaint about the store was when I was in there the guy behind the counter was playing a beautiful copy of "since I found..." by the metros and I was like "how much?" and he was like "it's not for sale!" and I was like "then why are you playing it in a record store! play that shit at home if you're not willing to sell it!"

    I got mine at Northern Lights record store in Brooklyn about six months ago for $10. Maybe they got more? (I thought they had a couple copies)

    I didn't know she was a Buckeye!

    What are "greens"? (no greens no jeans) Are they an affront to "smart dress"?
  12. Ljblanken
    Does that say that his middle name is "Defect" ??????

    Wow great information! Thanks to everyone so far - my want list is blowing up!
  14. Ljblanken

    I just got a great copy of "you, you" by WIllie Harper (awesome) and gave it some spins. I then pulled out some similar sounds like Zilla Mayes "all I want is you" and Irma Thomas "ruler of my heart" and Wanda Rouzan "long time no see", Benny Spellman's "sinner girl", etc. I'm looking for suggestions on other New Orleans sounds (little more on the obscure side if possible). I'm sure folks here know a lot more than I do! Thanks in advance!

    this is a cheaper alternative to Technics. I really enjoy mine (have two for the house - actually DJ with a pair Numark TT1s with the limited chrome plinths) https://www.stantondj.com/stanton-turntables/st150.html

    Another underrated M and Vs song: "I promise to wait my love". the 45 version is better than the LP recording, but the only video on youtube is pretty crappy!

    Sorry! Was thinking of El Bam!

    I think I have a Larry Williams single on LeBam? (am traveling for the holidays, so can't look in my boxes)... "boss loving" I think was the song title...

    thanks guys!

    I just got this down-tempo cheapie on ebay (Loma #2014) and noticed it is a "James Brown Production". Two questions: who is Baby Lloyd? Did James Brown produce a lot of west coast labels like this? I know he did a bunch of production work for King and Smash, but west coast?
