it's always a gamble. honestly people are too cautious and gossipy. i guess if you're going to spend 4 figures you have to be more cautious but i've mentioned before people think i have 100 copies if i have 2. a bunch of people missed out on some good records for cheap from me in the past because of gossip. if you're spending a few hundred, have the chance to get a good deal, and there's the chance you're $100 behind, i'd take the chance. i got 3 copies of those Trips on Soundville that were out there a couple of years ago, i wish i had bought more.

also, like a week or two before he started listing them, a trashed copy went for like $2500

there was no way it wasn't going to get bid up though with a record like that, even poorly listed. i was one of the first to get it from him, i actually paid $900 and was super excited at the time. still don't feel bad, i don't think it's worth less or at least much less than that now.

I paid $300 on the john washington so lost, small society only went down a little. i don't feel bad about either, it's a gamble either way and I've gotten lots of rare things where the seller really only had 2 copies.

I don't think people understand how much stuff was thrown away / melted down. I don't think until recently I understood the importance of people like John Anderson exporting records in preserving the vinyl. If only UK tastes of the time didn't dictate what he could sell and what he couldn't, there would be a lot more stuff available. A lot of people don't understand that a lot of extremely rare records were pressed in 1000 or much more, it's just that nobody went through the effort of claiming the unsold stock and exporting it.

i guess it's just a technicality because it's effectively the same, but the neither the four tracks, clara hardy, or willie pickett were "tracked". The four tracks and clara hardy were just uncovered by junkers and dumped on the market. The willie picketts were a result of funkyou's detroit operation hitting an old record store stock. So in none of these cases did someone track the producer, label owner, etc., it was just a case of bulk being found.

must i kill her is one of the most messed up soul 45s ever

just to be clear, AM stations only broadcast in mono. There were a bunch of AM stereo experiments that never caught on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM_stereo obviously there's no reason Mike Lofthouse and Steve can't both be right One important point is that labels don't pay royalties on promotional and cut out copies. Even if it wasn't a tax scam, they lose more money pressing stock copies.

I looked at the refosoul listing, I only see one youtube clip? either way, I believe that there were two versions. Which one has the organ, the original or later version? The original version came out in 1969. If the second version came out just a few years later, was it commissioned for the northern soul scene? That seems really early in the history of northern soul (which I know little about), who would have commissioned it from Perception?

can anyone confirm this? I only have the one with the instrumental flip so I can't a/b it. Are both versions on youtube? EDIT: also, I assume it was reissued to meet UK demand, when was the reissue done and was perception contracted to press copies? Who contacted them, Neil Rushton, John Anderson, etc.? thanks again.

Robb, it was a link to a file on his own computer. no matter how you mess with it, you're not gonna find it...

I don't think this is usually true actually. So many people i've talked to recorded 3 tracks and had one unreleased. You can always release a second single and reuse a b-side or remove the vocals and put out an instrumental. For everyone I've talked to, it highly depends on the circumstances of what happened and there isn't a common theme.

I don't think this has been answered. It might be Bobby Copney who recorded earlier on Tuff, just speculation. Also interesting that Benny Golson arranged the record.

super glue (ethyl cyanoacrylate) doesn't bond plastic well, and it hazes it up. you need to find a plasticizer like methyl-ethyl-ketone.

it would be interesting to see what's in the deadwax of this record and similar allen orange productions. maybe they reveal hidden numbers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Geater-Davis-45-RPM-Luna-Im-Gonna-Change-/121259780130?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item1c3ba56822

thanks for posting the pic. is the singer really a "ken williams" and not baby huey (james ramey)?

that track rules

I'm confused, when was the 45 released? anyone have a pic of it?

yes, exact same recordings. i think there was another nola record licensed into soulville but i can't think of what.

The venture record is an earlier recording of the same song. Sebastian is asking about identical recordings.

I think the music city releases are probably first. They had an earlier release on music city in '75 and butterfly came out also in '75. The first balja release "butterfli" on 1001 is from '75 and the second release wait / your love (1002) is from '76.
