That's right, but I never said I was completely sane. :fool: It actually ends on the 16th. It went UP on the 11th.

OK, didn't really get any serious bites, so it's on ebay now, ending on March 11.

The Rosebuds - Say You'll Be Mine / Mama Said (Tower 105) EX bb I accept other Paypal or US funds, $5 postage anywhere in the world (less in the US). PM to make an offer.

List #28 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.

Possible at 40UKP???

Can anyone provide a decent label scan for the John Donvan 45 on the Paradigm label? I could use one about 300 x 300 pixels for the Georgia Soul web page.

Two people do not "in demand" make, but you are welcome to make some money off that sh*te. It's an Atlanta record, and as some of you know, I collect records from Georgia. So c'mon, who wants to knock my record collection down a couple notches by selling their sh*te records to me?

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

https://64.82.97.82/sales_list.html 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?
