I can do simple paper fill-ins actually, I could have filled it in so that the paper was flush.

post a scan, i might be able to do that for you

I can do simple fixes, cleans, fill-ins, even removing pen and marker in some cases. I can't do a heavily stained label with tears with text missing. Anyways, here is the estimate:

haha, i recently got a quote from a professional art restorer to restore a relatively simply designed but water damaged label. I would post the actual quote but I don't want it circulating with my name on it, but the quote was $3500. At that price I'm sure the vinyl / styrene would not be damaged.

he had an extremely long career -- early '60s to '90s

less than 1 copy pressed

Robb, there were at least 6 groups called "just us". "Our own thing entertainment BMI" was based in LA as of 1980.

yeah, the pacesetters backing is used for something else, can't think of it right now, some other willie hoskins thing. Here is the show I just posted, a flashback to 1/21/2007: https://www.sittinginthepark.com/1-21-2007.mp3?

it's very rare and a DJable record?

did this to see what soul records were on the label, about 1/3 of the label is soul. posting just to share since it seems complete: GMC 10000 The Buffaloes - She wants me / You told me lies (66) 10001 The Gumdrop 2 - Getting over you / So I try 10002 The Islanders - Baby pack on / Where the lights are bright 10003 Miller Sisters - Please Don’t Say Goodbye / Your Love (67) 10004 Tony Kaye - Hey, hey, little orphan Annie / Dream world 10005 The Spoilers - Just Like A Shadow / Something About You (67) 10006 Miller Sisters - Until You Come Home I'll Walk Alone / I'm Telling It Like It Is 10007 Priscilla Page - Rockefeller Jones / Do I stand a chance with you 10008 Leo Price Orchestra - Stag-O-Lee / Hard times 10009 Frankie Grace and the Plastics - (Love) In the beginning / I can't stand it baby 10010 Freddie "Slim" Summerville - Wiggle tail / One for the road 10011 Tony Kaye - Oh pretty woman / Running out of time 10012 Doreen Rose - The Man I Love / I Want To Be Petted 10013 Miller Sisters - The Wedding Is Over / Your Gonna Lose A Good Thing (68) 10014 Johnny D - Strange love / Chain of love

The flip of the Phantom is written by Cliff Chambers for what it's worth. It doesn't sound like him either. Voices have wide ranges but accents are harder to fake. The accent is pretty exact on Ervin Rucker, although the voice doesn't exactly match.

also, i have the stock copy of the other boobie knight, wish i had bid on that one

lots of great stuff at cheap prices on that list, stuff i paid more for in worse condition.

depends on how sensitive your stereo / ear is. pen is easier to clean than marker (with certain exceptions where the marker is on certain paper types). neither is super easy to clean though, I usually leave them alone.

also done by ray pettis on exodus

the grier brothers + one other singer are the capris on nanticoke who are also the same group as the broad street gang. just random info. EDIT: from philadelphia

i listened to a bunch of ervin rucker 45s on youtube. unfortunately a lot are sped up and slowed down. this is the closest one vocally i could find (but it has noise reduction that renders it unlistenable): the accent is the same at least

wow thanks a lot. i see you sold an ervin rucker 45, do you have more info on him / connections to him? I checked out this video: the southern accent is much closer, but the voice doesn't exactly match. But the youtube video could have been sped up / slowed down.

i don't know, i don't collect the label and only have a couple things on it. i just was trying to clean up the discography.

everyone on the internet is saying that this record by "The Phantom" is sonny craver: https://www.popsike.com/Northern-Soul-Funk-THE-PHANTOM-Come-Back-To-Me-Uh-Huh-Ohyeah-Karisma-HEAR/180809095207.html here is audio: the record is produced by sonny craver. Does anyone have any actual evidence of this besides speculation and everyone copying everyone else's information? Listening to this record and comparing it to other sonny craver 45s I guess it's possible but on other 45s Sonny Craver has a deeper voice and less of a southern accent. The more I listen the less I think it's Sonny Craver and instead an internet rumor. Anyone have any actual substantiating evidence (e.g. something concrete saying that Sonny Craver went by that pseudonym or an interview with Sonny himself?). I also don't see why he would produce the record and randomly make up the pseudonym for this one record. Thanks in advance for any info on this.

I can look up almost any of these in copyright and get like an exact date it was copyrighted but it takes a ridiculous amount of time pre-1978 because you have to go through the books.

Thanks a lot! Troy also confirmed this. Other collectors confirmed that they knew of no other numbers (obviously that doesn't prove that no other ones exist, just that if they do, they are not "known" by VA collectors). The only thing someone would need to do to improve the discography is to check which ones are DPG vs. D.P.G. and give completely accurate label credits (e.g. the band is credited on most of the tracks). Thanks again.

ok, here is my new attempt to clean this up. correct full credits and label names with / without the periods are still not there. if someone with the nationals could say whether there is a -9 on one side and a different number on the other that would help. one collector told me this looks complete, although obviously there could be a very rare missing number. 101 - Little Richard III / Raw Soul - She Broke Down / The Gig 102 - Sir Guy / Speller Bros Band - Let Home Cross Your Mind / Pt 2. 102 - Sir Guy / Raw Soul - I Need You Baby / Georgia Walk 102 - Sin Guy / Raw Soul - I Need You Baby / Georgia Walk 105 - Prince George - I Love Too Hard / Wrong Crowd 1006 - Terry Sinclair - What Have you Heard / Clown Suit 1007-1/2 - Lenis Guess - For All You Have Been / Thank Goodness 1007-5/6 - Sir Guy - Broke down and cried / The frog [also came out on S.P.Q.R. 1104] [100-7 below came out on a red and a silver label] 100-7-8/9 - Sir Guy - I Cried / The Frizzy Fog 100-7-8/9 - Sir Guy - I Cried / The Fricky Fog 1007-9 - Richard & The Nationals - Blow Wind/Little Boy Blue 1008 - Lenis Guess - Thank You Baby / I'm Gonna Stop Running 1008-5/6 - Alvin Delk (The Rocking Cavaliers) - Ain't Nothin' Shakin' / Danny Boy 1009-5/6 - Sir Guy & Rocking Cavaliers - My Sweet Baby / Funky Virginia 801 - Sir Guy & the Rocking Cavaliers - Funky Virginia / My Sweet Baby [Atlantic distribution]

100-7-9 - Sir Guy - The Frizzy Fog / ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9eztQEiCvo comments say the red label credits "fricky" and silver label credits "frizzy" 101 - Little Richard III / Raw Soul - She Broke Down / The Gig 102 - Sir Guy / Speller Bros Band - Let Home Cross Your Mind / Pt 2. 102 - Sir Guy / Raw Soul - I Need You Baby / Georgia Walk 102 - Sin Guy / Raw Soul - I Need You Baby / Georgia Walk 105 - Prince George - I Love Too Hard / Wrong Crowd 1006 - Terry Sinclair - What Have you Heard / Clown Suit 1007-1/2 - Lenis Guess - For All You Have Been / Thank Goodness 1007-5/6 - Sir Guy - Broke down and cried / The frog [fog???, also came out on S.P.Q.R. 1104] 100-7-8/9 - Sir Guy - I Cried / The Frizzy Fog [silver label] 100-7-8/9 - Sir Guy - I Cried / The Fricky Fog [red label] 1007-9 - Richard & The Nationals - Blow Wind/Little Boy Blue 1008 - Lenis Guess - Thank You Baby / I'm Gonna Stop Running 1008-5/6 - Alvin Delk (The Rocking Cavaliers) - Ain't Nothin' Shakin' / Danny Boy 1009-5/6 - Sir Guy & Rocking Cavaliers - My Sweet Baby / Funky Virginia 801 - Sir Guy & the Rocking Cavaliers - Funky Virginia / My Sweet Baby [Atlantic distribution] edit, also some of the credits are still not 100% correct above (e.g. with the band, etc.) and some of the labels are DPG and some are D.P.G.

I reached out to some VA collectors to see if they have any additions. Here is a cleaned up version of the discography. I don't think any records credit "frog" (haven't found a photo at least) and think all cases are sellers making typos / mistakes. 101 - Little Richard III / Raw Soul - She Broke Down / The Gig 102 - Sir Guy / Speller Bros Band - Let Home Cross Your Mind / Pt 2. 102 - Sir Guy / Raw Soul - I Need You Baby / Georgia Walk 102 - Sin Guy / Raw Soul - I Need You Baby / Georgia Walk 105 - Prince George - I Love Too Hard / Wrong Crowd 1006 - Terry Sinclair - What Have you Heard / Clown Suit 1007-1/2 - Lenis Guess - For All You Have Been / Thank Goodness 1007-5/6 - Sir Guy - Broke down and cried / The frog [fog???] 100-7-8/9 - Sir Guy - I Cried / The Fricky Fog 1007-9 - Richard & The Nationals - Blow Wind/Little Boy Blue 1008 - Lenis Guess - Thank You Baby / I'm Gonna Stop Running 1008-5/6 - Alvin Delk (The Rocking Cavaliers) - Ain't Nothin' Shakin' / Danny Boy 1009-5/6 - Sir Guy & Rocking Cavaliers - My Sweet Baby / Funky Virginia 801 - Sir Guy & the Rocking Cavaliers - Funky Virginia / My Sweet Baby [Atlantic distribution]
