I could use a clean copy of Shirlene King's Super Stuff 45 on Homark please. PM if you can help!

Tommy Brown - Ain't So / Well, There Goes My Heart (ABC 10632) Lonesome Lee - Lonely Travelin / Cry Over Me (Bandera 2501) PM if you can help

Thanks very much. That's exactly what I needed to see.

Can anyone scan at least one side of the Sound of Soul 45s on Josie, numbers 962 and 972? Failing that, can anyone at least let me know the Producer and/or Publisher names? I'm trying to figure out if they're connected to Wendell Parker or not. Thanks.

thanks, Rob. I have one offered to me for trade, but assuming I can't come up with something satisfactory that I can let go, I'm still on the hunt for this one.

OK. Let's see how these iPhone pictures work. Those of you who have originals will not have the scratch marks in the dead wax that you see below. The full label of the reissue is identical, as seen here:

With all due respect, you weren't the only person who was looking for this record, so...thanks for adding the smiley face at the end there, Nev. That said, it certainly is good that you posted that want here for Cathy to have found. Let me see if I can get a decent enough picture to share. Getting good pictures of dead wax etchings is tricky for me as I'm not so talented with a camera.

Thanks for the input, Dave. I don't want to create confusion, but I am interested in knowing what's out there. Clearly there are originals without water stains as you've pointed out, Dave. However, the reissue is not rumor but fact. I was sent two copies of the reissue by Dwight himself, and was able to compare the dead wax etchings against my original. He told me on the phone that he had repressed the 45 and asked my opinion. So really, I guess what really needs to be put out to the public is the NEWS that there is a repress, and how to distinguish it from the original pressing based on the feedback to my initial post to start this thread.

So we know that the Dwight Franklin 45 turned up from the artist himself early this year, and that they all seem to have some mild water damage on the labels. But there have been some really clean copies turning up lately on ebay and I wonder if these are indeed true originals? Mr. Franklin recently RE-PRESSED the 45 to (almost) identical specs as the original. The difference is that the dead wax etchings are scratched out on the reissue. I can't accuse anyone of passing off the reissues as originals since I can only go by pictures in the auctions. But I don't know how many people are aware of the reissue, so wanted to raise the topic for discussion.

what's the going rate on this one?

I was referring more to the way these deaths are treated in the media, not the number of people in attendance, though I guess you could have been referring to somebody else's post before mine? *shrug*

I don't feel like this was any different than the way the American media treated the death of Ronald Reagan (Princess Di also springs to mind to be honest). Both memorials were over-hyped and over-televised to the point of nausea. Actually, the biggest difference I can think of is that the Jackson's set up a web site for people to contribute to the costs of putting on that spectacle yesterday. That in itself is despicable, but probably no more so than having the American taxpayers foot the bill for Reagan's - though I should probably do some fact checking to see if that's what really happened. I can only hope that people like Prince, Brittany and Madonna have long, LONG lives ahead of them. James Brown's death was also similar to MJ's though not to such extremes. This isn't a black/white thing, or even a capitalism thing. It's the way America treats celebrity coupled with a 24 hour news cycle. These TV stations have to fill time somehow, and now EVERYTHING gets blown way out of proportion. Luckily, I had plenty to keep me busy at work yesterday so I was nowhere near a television. Once I finally did throw on the tube, I just caught up on Tour de France highlights and then went out for dinner and beers with friends.

These are all old jukebox stock, most unplayed with some exception. These were pretty 'filmy' and while I cleaned almost all of them twice, many of these could benefit from another cleaning I think. As always, give the sound files a listen. PM or email me at vespa (@) mindspring.com to buy.
