    I just got this from a seller in Jamaica. I already had one more Jamaican bootleg that I got him to cancel the auction on (it was a bootleg of some bo kirkland ruth davis track, with totally different artist names and credits, etc.). This record sounds just like steve mancha, I thought it did before I looked at it and saw the writing credits. If it is a Jamaican bootleg where did they get this unreleased song? An acetate?

    The second one was vinyl btw.

    I've blind bought records for over $100 because the label looked cool. I win some and lose some but overall am ahead. The last thing I got burned on was a 45 by "switch" on an ohio label from 1986. The R&B group was from ohio and their last record was like '85 so I assumed it had to be a final, unknown indie production of the group. It ended up being a hard rock record. It cost me $60 which sucked.

    Do you know what shipping service he used? I'm not sure I even know one that would take 8-10 weeks to deliver anything overseas, unless it was some freight thing or something.

    no they're not, "try a little love" just got reused. 3 of the members were later in the ultimates on br-roma, one of the other members was in the segments of time. "try a little love" is the enchanted five singing.

    Thanks. I'm 100% sure there used to be this option so it might have been removed or might be some hard-to-find option. I haven't had a paypal dispute in a very long time ... and not because I haven't been screwed on a transaction, that happens on a daily basis. The main reason I haven't had to do a paypal dispute is that sellers know that paypal will issue a refund so it's in their interests to work with you. Thanks for providing more updated info.

    as someone already mentioned above, if the record is there in real life and costs $1, I'm buying it blind, not wasting time listening on a turntable

    you'll probably get the next one for $20

    every day on ebay there are lots of records that are completely ungoogleable and definitely not on youtube. some of those records end up being very good soul records.

    this is assuming people act rationally and know what they want to pay, and removes the psychological element of the auction and getting outbid

    any time you haven't received records by 45 days you should open up a paypal dispute. the dispute isn't a chargeback yet, it just lets you communicate with the seller and if that fails escalate the dispute to a full claim. you should definitely get the dispute in in the window of time you have. you will have more time to escalate it at that point if you decide to.

    you can (or at least used to be able to) do a paypal chargeback for excessive shipping cost

    Does anyone know if these two singers are really the same person? I hate just speculating like this but they have very similar voices which itself is very distinctive. Thanks for any ideas.

    also, he has a really nice 70s rare groove 45 on 20th century under the name electric city

    Johnny Ross was a member of Baby Huey and the Babysitters. He had awesome photos at his house of the Babysitters posing next to a military tank.

    it has to be the same group, antler records was a buck ram label

    congratulations on the exhibition of the ads you dug up
  20. boba
    this group was almost entirely members of shrine groups btw
  21. boba
    yes it is very hard to find

    Although I already expressed my opinion on whether I like the record, both sides of the record sound like they were clearly trying to make a (blue-eyed) soul record. What makes this less of a soul record than Dusty Springfield's material for example? It actually sounds more soul than some Springfield material to me.

    It is NOT the pharoahs under a different name, the pharoahs do the background music though. The Intentions were the rival group of the Siberians. They combined later as the New Testament Band on Skyhero/Tablet. There is an interview on my website (www.sittinginthepark.com).

    thanks everyone for responding. The Robert Plant did actually sound like they were producing a (blue eyed) soul record to me given the production style, song, etc. What does the other side sound like?

    Most copies are trashed because it was a big record in Chicago and lots of copies came unsleeved from people's basements. Records that always turn up clean are usually ones that nobody played and then the deadstock got exported from the US.
