The Leon Peterson is rare but not as rare as the Lawrence Faulckon IMO. Great 45 for sure but I must admit I like the other side more. Marc

Hi Ady, can supply you scans and soundfiles of all needed KeKe and Kable 45s. Just pm or email me what exactly you need. ATB Marc

Lawrence Faulckon (as on MRC) if memory serves me right. Got it at home.

Tend to agree with most of that and ask everybody to say which titles they think should not be on the list. Having said that, the initial idea was and still is about titles that before ebay and the rest of the net have been "...hidden from the masses in private deals to buyers or by the now seemingly prehistoric sales lists by mail..." or have been sold only to the "choosen few" = resulting in normal collectors having had zero chance to buy them. Another good example maybe Nelson Sanders "Mojo Man" Rambler. Before ebay impossible reocrd now one up every two months. Last one finfished by 250 USD sth by the way....

two copies only ?...nah...there`s been one up on ebay this month too which was ended without having had the chance to attract any bids way too early....wonder who got that copy....

Well, what was not there in quantity at John Andersons in the 8ties I ask you ? Pretty rare item and mucho indemando, so current price is no wonder IMHO. Flipside is indeed Middle of The Road....interesting to know maybe that MMLAHT is a C&W standard where there do exist other versions of as well ...yes indeed they do.

Had it on my watch list as well but couldn`t see myself paying any sort of big money for it as condition and the dull lyrics really left sth to be desired. Sax sounds Detoit but so have others. If it would by Mike Terry it would be maybe more dominating the melody though. However, maybe you still invested better in comparison to the (un)lucky buyer of that Sammy Lee "acetate"....

One can always be very lucky getting unknowns/semi-known tracks for next to nth..thats all part of the fun in it. But rest assured this 45 is very rare. I still have it C/UP from when I used to play it in the R&B heydays years ago .. Only ever found two other copies. Sold the last one at 250 UKP or USD (can`t remember the currency but was selling to th US).

Hi Dave, your right on Marion Stewart, but were Jack Montgomery (normal issue not the miss-spelt one) and Ruby Andrews really THAT rare anyhow before ebay ? I doubt it somehow...

Hi Andy, so then its a no for the list for RP and MW Marc

lotusland Posted 14 June 2009 - 08:17 PM "This thread is interesting but ridiculously putting 45s that 2 or 3 copies have been put up on eBay within 10 years time right next to records that have been up 2-3 times A MONTH for the last decade. Come on. You're right on with the New World's/ etc. but Lil Major Williams? Richard Paradise? seriously. what is it like 100 copies compared to 2? " You are right. Thats why it is an open public discussion. If you think LilMajor Williams and Richard Paradise should not be included just say so. I always asked for other opinions before anything was / is getting added to the list. Richard Paradise wasn`t added at all so far anyway, as I personally don`t consider the fact that two of the most agile persons on the scene had "some" copies for sale reason enough to call the title "de-rarifeied" by any means at all. Whom out of the two nice fellas at Lotusland am I talking to right now by the way ?

I have found what looks like it is my complete pm´s from the past..go to "my messenger" where you will only find one your most recent pm (why are the yknow called converstaions?..anyway) then on the left side you will find "old conversations or sth like that which will hopefully also feature your old pm`s. Deepest of respect for your work Mike, still I feel a bit lost with this new look and feel I must admit. Marc

He is not using the web at all

..here´s another addition, Liz Verdi. Remember when I bought my copy off Anglo beginning of 2000 it stated on the sleeve "first copy we ever had for sale". since then there`s been some serious amount on ebay. But only ever one issue. yes, no, yes, no but yes ? Marc

Its a great Soul 45 with fantastic lyrics. Quality. So no wonder you were expecting it to go up

so many fantastic and inspiring tapes from various different people over the years, but if it would have to be just one then it would have to be a tape recording of detroit a-go-go from a mate who was "king amongst the poor" because he had that LP. Thats 25 years ago now and the "inpsiration" still lasts on! Marc

not to forget his great and relatively cheap Jarval 45 which is sheer brilliant and has opened the last I don`t know maybe twenty Hip City events over here. Which Jimmy Braswell 45 did manship had twice up for auction Gene 220 or Gene 222 ? Still need both by the way if anyone has a spare.. Marc

Hello Mike and thanks for clarifying that..so we can include it in our small list you say ?
