Thanks both of you!

It is the same guy Did any of his records get any play on the soul scene? I'm guessing on «Papa True Love» and maybe "Never to busy"?

I'm sure I can find it somewhere in the WWW, but it's easier to ask here And, is this the same Mighty Sam which has a release on Malaco "Never to busy"?

Agree

Only one reply, too funky for this forum? Please, I need all info I can get

Hi Boba, thanks a lot! I would love to hear that other record, I was told they only made "the busing song". And also interested to hear of other 'bussing records', didn't think of that, thanks again!

Scan:

I am working on an article about this song, and trough my search I can only find info on Alex Larottas great blogg; https://www.imshakin.com/2009/11/05/the-greer-brothers-we-dont-dig-no-busing-the-busing-song-duke-1973/comment-page-1/#comment-347 Is there anyone else who got more info on this? Like: Are the Greer Brothers really brothers? Was it the boys' own initiative to make the tune and to get i recorded, or was it the record company's? Or somebody else? Was it a particular event that caused the making of the tune/recording in 1972/1973 - and not earlier/later? I know the story behind the busing, just wonder why this song was recorded exactly in 1972/73? It seems on the label that Deadric Malone is the text-author? Is that correct and who is he and why did he write the song? What kind of reactions did the record get when it was released? Did it make a debate? Was it a big hit? Was people/politicians angry/happy about it? Did someone "use" the Greer Brothers/the tune politically in some ways? Political parties, organizations...? Did the record get any reviews - and is it/are they somehow available? Does it exist any photos / movierecordings of the Greer brothers from the 1970s (or later)? Is it possible to recall how many copies was pressed? And how many was sold? Is the record released in 1972 or 1973? (My copy has a stamp that says March 28 1972) Does anyone got the lyric sheet that came with some of the copies, need a scan of it. All kind of info will be appreciated!

Thanks! No picture sleeve or insert...

Found this in Oslo today.

Wow, was it only $10

Bought mine 5 years ago, Morer had loads for $20 each! WHY didn't I buy more

I bought mine in the early 90s on my first trip to Berlin

That's what it sold for

It must be Great tune!

£123 at Manship auction, most expensive German motown?

I don't know about the UK N scene, but it's wanted by soul collectors in the rest of the world I guess? It's wanted by hip hop, funk and soul collectors. It has and is a BIG tune at Oslo Soul Experience (maybe played it every soul night for the last two years ), don't know the impact we have for the rest of the world

This record is soooo in demand at the moment, I was offered £250 for mine a while a go, not for sale at any price

As "nice" prices a possible, this is for a young and fresh collector Intimate Strangers - Love Sounds Esther Byrde - Touch Me, Take Me The Halleluiah Choirs - I've Got To Find A Way Lyn Christopher - Take Me With You Rivage - Strung Out On Your Love Steve Karmen & Jimmy Radcliff - Breakaway Arnold Blair - Trying To Get Next To You Bileo - You Can Win

Rookie has one up for bid on his latest list!

You got a PM
