I have to spend more time preparing for the revolution

Now I'm close to closing my account. Willie Wright better than the OG curtis? I hate the entire LP, sounds like a failed richie havens copy.

Hi, I'm just starting to do sales lists and did one already. I am going to send out my second list early next week. The list is going to be all female soul from all eras (early 60s-80s), and hopefully cover most genres people are interested in (r&b, funk, northern, "girl group", crossover, sweet, deep, etc. -- although I do specialize in group soul so it will have more items from groups). I am a long time soul 45 collector (don't collect anything else) and like to feature a lot of items that are good but not well known or very expensive. The list will be an eclectic mix of stuff and will have sound clips of the actual records for sale. If you want to be included on the email list that receives the sales list (and aren't already included from the previous list), please send an email to SITPSales@gmail.com with your name and email address. Also, I will *not* post the sales lists publicly on message boards / facebook until all the sales from the direct email have cleared (and might not publicly post at all). So if you want priority on items, you should sign up for the email. Thanks for your interest.

certain people are old and curmudgeonly and don't care anymore about more than a tiny range of music they have decided was good a long time ago. Bob Stallworth might be more helpful though.

I have to be ready 24/7 for the upcoming revolution. Can't let the government catch me sleeping.

I was trying to make the point that, as an outsider, it seems like almost all of the types of funk / funky soul that people are playing now that people in this thread say they dislike have already established examples in the "canon" of NS. I'm not making any comment on anyone's tastes, just saying that it seems weird that people seem to be complaining about the style of music that is the same style as records they probably like or at least accept.

I didn't call it second rate or offer my opinion of it at all. I was giving it as an example of the "Blacksploitation" style funk which this record clearly is. Does Joan dislike this record?

The cut is called "just look at me". Finding a clean copy of that panama 45 is probably 100x harder than just finding a copy.

I don't remember if I wrote this before, but do you know David Castillo? He has a copy, don't know if he wants to sell it.

like the JJ Callier pusherman?

Aren't there known "wah wah funk" records on the scene: I think parliament or something like that wouldn't get played

I'm not sure if it's the same guy, the ronnie 45s are from DC. There is another arkettes on ronnie, argie and the arkettes, that is good and that has proven to be rarer recently...

they're mutually exclusive? play it for anyone who is into soul but doesn't know about northern, they will agree it's funky soul.

I think the delreys inc destination unknown is funk

I would think that a documented ebay sale would be producing (rather than getting rid of) evidence that someone was still selling stolen records after knowing they are stolen.

yeah, i was shocked to find a hater on soul source, everyone is always so positive about everything

"funky soul" is too generic a title, I think you specifically mean the early 70s funky cuts that specifically appeal to the northern scene now right? because sam and dave is funky soul.

Don't tell me what to do! I'm just kidding. The sweet soul market is pretty volatile, as people want the same obscure unknown records and once more people have them and they've been thoroughly bootlegged the price drops significantly. same thing happens with newer funk collectors. Also, with northern records. I think the market is very volatile now, and combined with the fact that nobody has money now, it's extremely hard to have any fixed guide.

yeah, that's what i'm saying, it's decent not amazing. not the best record ever, not the worst record ever.

hard record (and good record) but not known. I would ask $200.

I don't know but the person I know who knows the most about Birmingham is John Ciba, owner of Rabbit Factory records, that did the Birmingham soul comps and who puts on shows with Ralph Jackson, etc. Do you know him? I can give you his email if you don't.

It is listed in soulfulkindamusic wand discography, just not in the specific artist discography. It does seem strange, it's probably not the wally roker song, was he active in the business in 1963, and would he have had a song done by a west coast artist. I can't find reference to an artist doing the wally roker song either though, if I did there might be some evidence as to a mix up or something, but I can't. Bizarre.

Has anyone seen the new craig moerer filler pads? They're insane, like a 1 inch block of corrugated cardboard. I accidentally stepped on one (I am not a lightweight) and it barely crushed in at all.

pricing records is not an easy task. so many are rare that there aren't enough data points. You really have to know about the record to understand its rarity (and many records take years to come up for sale). You have to know about the audience of the record and how they would evaluate it to combine with the rarity to determine a value. If you're writing a price guide, it's hard to know the tastes of all audiences. Also, there is an arbitrary-ness to the process, a DJ can one day "discover" a record and everyone might want it and the value will shoot up. Or an entirely new audience might discover the other side. And there are some records that are very rare but hard to sell and would sell for a certain amount to the right people, while there are other records that are in demand. I think one of the ways to do it is if you specialize in a subgenre so you know a lot about the records in that genre and know a lot of the other collectors.

beef ended, i laughed. thanks.
