The winning bidder is in the US (California) which doesn't surprise me.

Joey Dee And The New Starlighters – How Can I Forget
Sebastian replied to Geeselad's topic in All About the SOUL
I've added the original to Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/release/31542325-Joey-Dee-And-The-New-Starlighters-How-Can-I-Forget -
Such a fabulous artist! Many favourite already mentioned, but here are a few from his Checker releases: "After The Laughter" and "In My Body's House":

Please identify this you tube track for me, Thanks

Soul Experience - We Don't Need No Music - RON-CRIS -
Great track. Interestingly penned by Lou Reed and John Cale (pre- Velvet Underground). The All Night Workers also recorded it, but Downliners Sect did the ultimate version of it in my opinion.

Jimmy Holiday's own original version is a thumper as well:

Flirtations - Nothing but a heartache
Sebastian replied to Chris Turnbull's topic in Look At Your Box
Does anyone remember "Need Your Loving" getting plays? A far more "traditional" sounding stomper. -
Sherilles - Nobody's Gonna Love You with Vessie Simmons on vocals. Utterly fabulous! Was played by Ady on one of Dean Anderson's shows. Audio below.

Most likely not required. These 45s were supposed to be sold with the picture sleeves which had plenty of relevant info such as personnel etc. Also mentions Sepia, Ashford etc on both labels and sleeves.
-
Might as well stick these two press clippings from Billboard (May 1970) and Record World (July 1970) up here. Despite what has been claimed by Lorraine Chandler in the past, there is no way that those Googa Mooga releases were released without knowledge from the rights owners.
-
Here are 31 more hand dated records from that collection. I think that it's pretty safe to assume that the written date is the date of arrival or date of archival
-
Perhaps worth mentioning that the etching that some people refer to as "3w's" is infact Mack Evans WME initials (Warren McCleallan Evans). Might update Discogs info to reflect this if no one else beats me to it.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST 'MODERN' NIGHTER SOUNDS?
Sebastian replied to Paraboliccurve's topic in All About the SOUL
Partial clip: -
The first big quantity of Dream Team (reportedly 100+ copies) turned up in September/October 2003 via a UK seller. He was selling them for £100 each (that's where I got my copy) and I remember that it caused quite a bit of a stir because it had been an "impossible" to find record up until then and a few of the early copies from the find were sold for huge sums privately, then the rest appeared with a dealer that doled them out cheaper.
-
There are several early Tamla Motown releases from The Netherlands that carry Nashville Matrix or RCA Custom matrixes, so the actual US made lacquers must've been sent over from the US to Holland. Same goes for lots of Beatles releases that have UK matrix but are clearly pressed in Denmark/Sweden/etc.
-
A seller on ebay that sold a copy in 2022 stated that he had 9 copies of this 45 for sale that he would offer to the highest bidder (in case that person was interested). It wouldn't surprise me if most of the subsequent copies have come from that stash. Nine copies is however still not a lot in the grand scheme of things.

Very small pressing runs. I've always had the feeling (and one of the ads above seem to back it up) that Paris Tower was a "pay-to-play" label. That the groups had to pay a fee to get their 45s recorded/pressed/promoted, hence little motivation for Paris Tower to do anything with the records once they had been pressed. A compilation that focuses on the garage side of things was recently released: https://www.discogs.com/release/28927195-Various-The-Best-Of-Paris-Tower-16-Crunchin-60s-Garage-Tracks-From-Tampas-Legendary-Label

The first episode and the final half of the last episode were great and somewhat illuminating. I'm happy that this documentary was made, it keeps the Stax story relevant and alive and I realize that most of us are already so deep into this stuff that a documentary like this only can scratch the surface. But I did find it suprising that one of their most loyal and succesful artists, William Bell, only was mentioned once during the entire four hours.

Interestingly both the Carolines 45 on Roulette and "Paris Blues" were released in 1966 on Polydor in Canada with successive numbers: POLYDOR CANADA 1075 - Tony Middleton - Out Of This World / Paris Blues POLYDOR CANADA 1076 - Carolines - Can't Stop Lovin' The Boy / You're My Baby Did Mala and Roulette perhaps license them in some way from the Canadian branch of Polydor (which had been a label outside of the US since the mid-1950s)?

The "Polydor Series" thing can be found on lots of 45s: https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=POLYDOR+SERIES+&type=all&format_exact=7"&country_exact=US&decade=1960

Was just putting a copy of Sonny Childe & T.N.T.'s "Heartbreak" (a.k.a. R.B. Greaves) on ebay and realised that it was only issued in the UK:
