Agent45

Now that Beaver's requst is out of the way, I wonder if anyone has some Joe Brown & the Soul Eldoradoes for me???? So do ya?

I've sent you a PM....

List #27 has now been out for a few hours, so I guess I had better announce it. https://64.82.97.82/sales_list.html

Some nice stuff - mostly cheapies - still left.

These 45s are now off the table.

Hi gang!

I'm very happy to announce my first set sale list of 2005! This list contains 101 titles and more real audio files than I've ever included before. As usual, you can see the list at this URL:

https://64.82.97.82/sales_list.html

The US dollar is still looking pretty ugly next to the Euro and UK Pound, so you overseas folks can continue to benefit from our misfortune since you've got some added buying power these days.

And in an unusual turn of events, I have three albums for sale....grades are cover, then vinyl.

John Bishop - Bishop's Whirl (TRC TRCS-1508) EX/EX $15 contain's "Wade In the Water"

Eddie Kendricks - I've Got My Eyes On You (Miss Dixie MD-50001) VG+/EX- $30 1983 indie label LP from Atlanta, very tough to find, even here in ATL

Les McCann Plays the Hits (Limelight LS 86041) EX/EX $50 beautiful copy of the LP containing the classic "Sad Little Girl"

I don't have any plans of getting into the LP business but found on a recent trip and thought I had better not pass them up.

I hope 2005 has gotten off to a great start for you all, and look forward to staying in touch with you this year.

As always, I hope you find something you like, and happy record hunting!!

Eula Cooper - Standing By Love / I Need You More (NOTE 7100) VG(-) $50

First 45 on the Note label, which was started by Jesse Jones, who also ran the Tragar label. This copy has enough marks & scratches to warrant a VG- grading, but still plays quite well. Click the song titles above to hear both sides in their entirety with Real Audio. Email or PM if interested, Paypal accepted. Postage within the U.S. is $2, or $5 for international air mail.

This was mailed to me by a friend in California this morning. Oh, how I wish I had thought to do this firstl.....

That covers the subject of field dress. Now for the approach.

It goes like this: you step up to the door, browse around disinterestedly at the records tossed into the stall flanking the storefront. Usually this doesn't fool anyone at all, but it's a necessary opening move. This is known as reconnoitering, or diversionary tactics. After about half an hour of this, you sidle up to the gentleman who seems to be in charge. He is probably a front for his brother-in-law, who does the really big business in the back room, but you have to talk politely just the same.

"Say mac," you whisper, "do you have any old records in here?"

"Naw," the gentleman will say, "we ain't got any old records."

"None at all?"

"Well, we got some classic stuff. Some Beatles. Very valuable items, y'know."

"I was looking for soul and funk records, you know, the seven-inch kind."

"Well, there was some in the cellar last week. I think Joe threw them out."

This is no time to appear eager.

"Well, maybe I'd better run along."

"No, stick around. Maybe I could see about them records in the cellar. Was it like OKehs you was wanting?"

This is the enemy's first fatal blundering. He has been trapped into blurting out that he has heard of a record label. He probably sells on Ebay and keeps Manship on his hip all the time. At this instant, even the momentary flicker of an eyelash should be avoided.

"Yes, I just wanted some old dance tunes. Popular melodies and stuff like that."

"We'll, we'll see. Harry!"

Harry comes out from behind the armoire where he's been waiting his cue. Harry is a neighborhood moppet who works for ice cream money and records. All the best items from the pile in the cellar are already tucked away in his collection.

"Harry, you go see if Joe will let us have the key to the cellar."

Harry goes off, and you are subjected to a final round of questioning.

"You want to buy 'em all, young man? I can sell 'em to you cheap."

"Well, I'd like to see them first."

"Only lookin' for certain ones, eh?"

"Not that, I just want to see them first, that's all."

Finally, you are escorted down creaky steps into a dark room whose walls are lined with records. A single overheard bulb hangs from a cord in the center of a very low room. Every table in the place is cluttered.

If you've passed the last barrier on your collecting expedition, and the shopman decides to be lenient, he'll say, "Well, make yourself at home. I'll be seeing you."

I forgot to mention that your expedition should have set forth at dawn. If you are properly provided with food supplies, a portable communications device, and and several discographies, you may be out of the cellar in no time at all. Some collectors take along electric razors on their expeditions, too. However, some prefer to grow beards and impress their friends on return.

- mildly adapted from Fred Ramsey's "Discollecting Expedition" Record Changer, v.5, no.4 (June 1946).

This is very intriguing to me. News about this person has been floating around the soul (and more recently funk) scene for so long, yet nobody has ever gone to the person's address or successfully confronted the dealer in question.

I would be extremely interested to finally see someone get to the bottom of this and publish an interview with her/him, just to hear the other side, out of pure curiosity.

There must be a queue a mile long to throttle this dealer by now, how have they remained such a mystery for so long?

Here's a set list from two weekends ago. The venue is in Atlanta, a monthly night called Rhythm & Booze which is put on by Tim Lawrence. I guest with him every few months. You'll generally hear a lot of gritty southern sounds, r&b, the occasional black rock & roll tune and even a gospel 45 now and again. But it all works there.

Set One:

Howlin' Wolf - Pop It To Me (Chess)

Roy Ward - Horse With A Freeze (Seven

Miss Madeline - Lonely Girl (Mar-V-Lus)

Peppermint Harris - Wait Until It Happens To You (Jewel)

Big Mac - That's the Way You Treat Your Woman (Jewel)

Bill Johnson - You Got Soul (Jocida)

Candy & the Kisses - Out In the Streets Again (Scepter)

Judy Clay - Do You Think That's Right (Ember)

Jimmy Holiday - I've Been Done Wrong (Diplomacy)

Earl Grant - Hide Nor Hair (Decca)

Ruff Francis & the Illusions - Give Me Mercy (Essica)

Lonnie Lester - You Can't Go (Nu-Tone)

I'm a sucker who would like to buy a copy of that Peels 45....unload your hated copy onto me, please, and don't hate it too much. Condition matters.

that's a nice one, too. "hangover" seems to be mad raer. Smells expensive somehow...

Well, the Joyja label was Young's own label and I'm sure the press runs were very small. What gets me is that he apparently started the label in 1975 but both of these tracks sound more raw than you would expect for that era.

FWIW, here's what I've been able to put together as a discog. so far.

001 Billy Young - Still My Life Through / What Is Christmas

002 Billy Young - Tell Me You'll Hold On / I Wonder What She's Doing

003 Billy Young - What Is Christmas / All of Georgia's Children (Get Homesick)

004 Billy Young - I Done Got Over / This Time

005 Billy Young - Suffering With A Hangover part 1 / Suffering With A Hangover part 2

006 Billy Young - Still My Life Through / Last Year This Time

009 Billy Young - Get A Taste of Georgia part 1 / Get A Taste of Georgia part 2

010 Billy Young - A Lot of Lonely People In This World

012 Billy Young - What Is Christmas / Love Clause

110 Billy "Country Boy" Young - Burning Up / Burning Up (instrumental)

244 Billy Young - He Can Never Love You (Like I Do) part 1 / He Can Never Love You (Like I Do) part 2

246 Billy "Country Boy" Young - A Big Christmas / Martin Luther

248 Billy "Country Boy" Young - I'm In Love part 1 / I'm In Love part 2

4176 Billy Young - Just Cause I Was Talking part 1/ Just Cause I Was Talking part 2

Some of this stuff didn't age well....

I don't have a copy of "...Hangover" for sale, but am curious to know what kind of price it might fetch. I haven't seen one for sale outside of the copy I found in Macon. At the same place, I also picked up another good Billy Young single.

Groovy man!

Could be the next big modern sound.

Keep it covered up and you might make a fortune.

link

To keep it covered up is easy. I rarely DJ for large crowds in Atlanta GA.

To make a fortune is difficult.....I'd have to play it for somebody who would want to buy it. I'm not that influential, unfortunately.

However - I will be testing it over a loud system at my DJ gig on Saturday night. I expect to play it later in the night when everyone is already good and drunk to avoid this :tomato2:

The whole cover-up thing is fun though. Mostly for laughs with a couple friends of mine, I recently made my own custom label, which I print onto a medium weight card stock, cut out to place my 45s sometimes - again - for laughs. Here's a smaller jpg version of it:

very 'Hair'.

WOOF!

link

Actually, that's not a bad way to put it. It's got that kinda groovy 60s sound, but the vocalist doesn't quite have it.

The Dizzy Gillespe is good and funky, but I always had higher hopes for it. The Buddy Guy has been played at some mod clubs....what label is that RB Hudmon on?

Alright, so I picked up (and bought) this 45 on Saturday but am unfamiliar with the artist or label. Cursory Googling has been no help at all. I haven't checked up on the writing or publishing credits yet, but for fun I thought I'd make this real audio file available to see if anyone knows the record and to read your general opinions.

Set sale list #25 is now out. My mailing list has had a few hours to look it over but there are still some great records left!

Good luck!

Brian Poust

To me, it just sounds like it really should have come out of the Carolinas rather than Springfield Mass. It has a really laid back southern sound that really fits the beach music scene. But maybe that's just me?

45rpm set sale list #24

Loads of soul, funk and r&b 45s, good quality cheapies!

Georgiasoul.com is pleased to announce a newly activated section to the web site for feature articles, interviews and the like as we continue to document the history of Georgia soul and funk music.

To launch this new addition to the web site, we've prepared a great article about one of the pioneer R&B DJs of the Georgia radio airwaves, Ed Mendel. With a radio career going back to 1943, Mendel was the first DJ in Columbus to play R&B, gospel and jazz music on their air waves. Later, Mendel ventured into concert promotion, record stores and record labels. Now you can read all about his career and influence on Georgia soul music in great detail on the web site.

You can link directly to the article with this URL: https://www.georgiasoul.com/gasoul/article1mendel.html

In addition to the article itself, you can also hear many of the records that Ed Mendel produced, all in Real Audio with label scans to boot. Look for the Mendel Jukebox link at the top of the article. If you don't have Real Audio on your computer, you can download it for free from https://www.real.com

In other news, the label listings continue to grow, we have more CDs to review and put up on the web page and continue working to grow the label galleries as well. Keep checking back for updates as they happen and don't be shy about contributing comments, corrections, suggestions and additions!

Thanks for reading!
