he is. he's also on the dispo record, he's the bass singer at the end of "little golden band". he's not on the first two records.

their first record came out late '68, the last one (the Mist) is either '70 or '71.

nope. you are hilarious though.

rags was definitely first, I think I'm just arguing over the definition of "local release"

how did the "local release" copies get to chicago as store stock, which I have found before? what else does "local release" even mean except that it was only distributed locally? it's a smaller label / less distributed release that got picked up by a larger label. Jerry Ragavoy was a major producer.

I'm pretty sure neither release is "local", they were both distributed nationally. One just got picked up by the larger label (epic) for better distribution.

It was pressed in Chicago, like the early Karen records, but I think it was Detroit. It could have been recorded in Chicago like some of the early Karen stuff. Either way, I think you sold it at a fair price for the buyer, rare record.

great history in this video, thanks for making this and posting it

this is a good point, wouldn't a better name be "carved"?

patrick adams was actually in this sparks

gracie darnell is from detroit, sharon mcmahan wrote it and it has ollie mclaughlin's publishing

are you saying you bought it buy it now for $450 and he made you pay more or are you saying the end price isn't displaying correctly? either way, that's the seller that had the initial quantity that he put onto the market.

I agree with this. Now that everyone is on the internet, people google themselves and find it on youtube, it has become the best way to find people at this point. I spend so much time trying to find people in real life and they'll now find you if you just put a clip on youtube.

someone on here should be able to get you a contact for eugene smiley though (the essence of love guy who was previously in the visitors), I'm sure many british people have talked to him

There is no photo of the group in the soul book and Robert Pruter doesn't have a Visitors photo. He got most of Carl Davis' photos so probably Carl Davis doesn't either. Eugene Smiley might if you contact him, let me know if you get a photo.

The person I interviewed, Ray Foreman, didn't have a photo. The other group referred to is the Mist on Twinight, same group.

not the type of topic I would think there would be an obvious answer to but this one HAS to be the winner

twenty dollar friendship is from detroit, speck and the outlaw gang is from louisana

I have a double to sell or trade if you want it. I actually paid $150 for my copy but that was too much I think. I can dig out my double if you want, I wouldn't want that much, I would have to find it.

Thanks for clearing this up. Better to buy the ace kent cd than the soulful thangs bootleg, plus you get more "us" music. Also, the track did come out on the best of funkadelic lp with the goat's head on it.

I own the record. The group is "us music". Ace kent reissued a cd of an unreleased westbound album. I read the liner notes online at some point. I think they were from ohio and funkadelic was the band.

It's not funkadelic (although I think the members were absorbed into funkadelic afterwards). There is some information in the liners of the recent ace-kent release of their whole unreleased LP.

I think I maybe paid $100 or less? If the record is known or if you want it sooner you would have to pay more I guess.

i like the sweet side on this a lot, took me a while to get a copy
