that seattle pure dynamite is crazy long -- just under 7 minutes. I thought it must be one of the longest soul 45s I've ever seen but I recently got a jim gilstrap 45 that had a short / long version and I swear it was over 7 1/2 minutes on the long side. Either way, with a long 45 it will be even rarer to have playable copies since they are pressed super low and you need a very clean copy, every tiny scratch will be really loud.

you might be thinking of the paul mitchell trio on P&L? I remember there was some northern interest in it for like a second.

certain studios did have multitrack recorders. but i don't think they mixed in the vocals from another take, i think they did more than one take and spliced the tape together at the point of the edit.

everything else on the label is jazz right? I'm trying to think of another soul record and I can't.

by "DJ style" i meant his talking style on the mic, I wasn't clear. thanks.

TAVARES (New Bedford, MA) Ralph Tavares (lead and second tenor), left by 1990; Arthur "Pooch" Tavares (baritone), Antone "Chubby" Tavares (lead and tenor), Perry Lee "Tiny" Tavares (baritone), Feliciano "Butch" Tavares (tenor). Also, Victor Tavares was in the early group on Capitol. As Linda & the Del Rios: Linda Steele, Antone Tavares, Arthur Tavares, Ralph Tavares, John Tavares, Pete ?.

I really really want this but can't afford to drop over $3000 on a record ... do you have a financing plan?

plenty of people value lower priced records. I do think his enthusiasm for the music comes out, that was one of the things I was saying earlier. I actually think he has a pretty good DJ style too. Also, I agree with what bearsy is saying that people are more likely to rip into him after his DJ set. Some of the people responsible for the conflict in the previous thread aren't posting here anymore though.

I never noticed that before but it's clearly there. Not tape flutter, but one vaguely similar thing I always noticed that annoys me is that you can hear an edit (probably from another take or something) in the Bluebelles version of "I'm still waiting": it happens around 2:29 or 2:30

Also, I have actually seen more stock copies than promos of that but it's pretty rare so it's not like I've seen a lot of copies overall.

Ernie King is the same person as King Ernest / King Ernest Baker. That mercury 45 is his first record.

I actually am surprised, everyone is being pretty honest and reasonable without hatefully attacking him or ripping him apart (which did happen in that other thread).

this is from beaumont, texas. It is carl stewart with the sonics, right? Manship auctioned one of the sonics on copyright maybe a year ago but I don't remember if it's this one or not. Carl Stewart also has a record on mercury if I'm remembering correctly. There is a nice barbara lynn record on this label.

Thanks for the info I appreciate it.

this is one of the records he played that didn't even sound close to soul (in my opinion) haha

I don't know it but there's sales records, and one for sale for 20 pounds on the internet. Does it sound like a Black group? Thanks.

and toad (sorry)

i think i might actually own both titles as stock and it wasn't a promo / issue thing, I have to check...

I was excited to hear the track when he announced it as an unknown bell soul record could be excellent. the backing starts off okay and then the guy starts singing and it's clearly a rock record. Then I see it's on UK bell. That record really wasn't made as a soul record and putting it in a soul context (which works for many non-soul records) doesn't work.

and denbo!

thanks pete and sebastian for the corrections, appreciate it

I think that this is exactly the point, he's a legendary figure who's made a lot of promises and this mix is supposed to be where he shows and proves himself. Most people who don't like my show wouldn't put in the effort to listen and critique it, although if they did it wouldn't really bother me (although I'd probably respond). I don't think that people are irrationally ripping into Ian's mix either, I think people are being pretty reasonable and almost anyone noted some good things.

no, the b-side to the (Giattino pressed??) white label boot is actually not the ringleaders at all. Don't know who it is though.

here is the listing from soul harmony singles. it looks pretty explicit, e.g., not a mistake: Money 106 Forget Me / The Jerk (9/64) 110 Mickey's East Coast Jerk / The Slauson Shuffle (inst.) (1/65) 109 Mickey's East Coast Jerk / Soul Jerk (1/65) 110 Soul Jerk / Slauson Shuffle (inst.) (1/65) 112 Heavenly Father / The Roman (65) 115 Sad Sad Boy / Can You Do The Duck (65) (115 above as The Meadowlarks) 116 Why'd You Put Me On / Facts Of Life (65) (116 above as Bobbi Row & The English Men) 117 What Chance Has A Man / Let Me See You Philly (65) (117 above as Don Julian) 119 Answer Came Too Late / Lost My Love (66) 122 Heaven Only Knows / Philly Dog (66) 127 Come Back Baby / The Skate (67) 601 I Want You (Back) / I Love You (72) 604 My Favorite Beer Joint / Part 2 (73) 607 Shorty The Pimp / Part 2 (74)

I have the harmonics on way out, a pretty crappy funk 45. What is the Joan Bias? I never heard of it before.
