This is the lamest shill I've ever seen, give it up already

i'd put it in the bathroom

random info (think I mentioned this here before): james dockery lives in chicago now, same person as jonah dockery on thomas. soul craft was his label. he also produced the rokk 45 (and apparently an unreleased rokk lp).

to me the appeal is that they're weird and outsidery. it's like a $50 appeal though.

i'm glad curtis mayfield didn't play the guitar.

haha, that song is the first thing i thought of when i saw the subject line too, i was thinking of the ashy kneecaps line

is the blue and red of the curley moore not an original issue? just interested.

that's not even one of the 80s jamie guyden reissues, it looks like a straight bootleg

there is a later press, he also talked about a later press

Rufus Wonder said in my interview a few weeks ago that it was a typo at initial pressing time

if you stood there for like 30 minutes it was isaac hayes

it was a custom label. most of the label was rock actually, very little of it was soul, especially since it was in pittsburgh.

that's not fair, if anything, the difference is that Eli's music is pop by is own admission and the music on that comp is specifically not pop and not trying to cross over. both are soul influenced and, as I noted, I wouldn't call any music that comes out today "real soul".

awesome!

in an ideal world it would not be different

how is this strange? Doesn't this make a lot more sense that a rolling stones bootleg would be policed by ebay than a no-label 45 where the ownership of the rights isn't even known? maybe it's sad that thousands of boots get by, but it's not strange.

I know that, my whole point was that they have they aren't calling it "soul music" or even "soulful house" here. Nobody as part of the different scenes here (steppers, house, etc.) is grasping for the word "soul", they're just making music as part of their scene. I don't expect anyone as part of the EMS forum to really care about Eli, as I also noted in my post, apples and oranges.

although it's much rarer than the other two, this record is not very good. the northern side is a terrible cover of stevie wonder's uptight and the ballad side is very weak (with a weak group) compared two the other two.

I listen to modern R&B on the radio. I know different people who listen to all flavors of house music (especially since I'm in Chicago) and "neo-soul" (which is what most of the tracks on that link sound like to me). I even know older people who listen to the Johnny Taylor "last two dollars" type of blues which occasionally gets claimed by the modern soul people here if the track has the right sound. None of them claim to be "soul music 2010". As far as I'm concerned, there is no genre any more being produced that is "soul music" and there hasn't been for a long time. All of these genres come out of soul but none of them are "soul" or claim to be. Therefore, there is no "soul music" for Eli to infringe on. Moreover, I don't think Eli is claiming to be "soul" either. I think it's only a few people overseas claiming to actually create a new "soul music" scene. I honestly can't imagine anyone who is really into neo-soul listening to Eli's music and being offended like it's infringing on their music -- they more likely just wouldn't care because it was too different. Similarly, people into northern soul already don't care about the style of music on that comp and will continue to not care, independent of Eli's music. It's apples and oranges, two different styles, my point before was about the sound, not new versus old. The music on that comp sounded pretty good, by the way, but it didn't sound like northern soul to me. It did resemble modern soul and I could see it appealing to people who like modern.

he posts on waxidermy.com, go there and bitch. i think he's known as a "gripper and flipper" there too though.

yeah, and he sold another copy to the second bidder for $600

If the criteria is just that the music is "old" versus "good" (which somehow makes it authentic) that seems sort of silly to me, as a lot of "northern soul" is often mediocre copies of hit record sounds as DJs now need obscurer and obscurer records to outdo each other now as everything has already been played ... e.g. I would rather listen to smokey and the miracles and the impressions than a lot of in demand northern records. I don't like duffy or amy winehouse but I do like alicia keys and some other new music like eli or kgf better than many northern sounds. You are totally entitled to your opinion if you don't actually like eli's music though or if you think it's just okay but totally derivative and generic, etc., I just don't think the specific generalization you're making is fair in this case. I would just want it to be clear that the "thousands of the real thing" are actually better records, not just older records...

I thought nite life stocks were green. maybe the OP was getting the color confused with NITE BEAT (intrepids)???

dynamic concepts did not come out twice with two numbers, it's listed in the soul harmony singles book with both numbers but actually both numbers are on the one record. The label is also "ken-del".
