cool photos, thanks for posting

it turns up but it's pretty hard to find, took me years to find a copy, only seen it for sale a few times. great record. there are a few harder titles on the label though (kenneth ruffin for example).

i like the rawness of the record, I think it's charming. especially on the other side, how they screw up and the instruments are out of time with each other at the beginning and didn't even do another take and just were like "GO WITH IT!" and pressed it.

karl, voltaires just ended on ebay a few days ago, search for it

it's the three men in black prod. - I was sent here to love you on Twin town

yes, but very very rarely, most of the services have heavily redundant servers, etc. I have had maybe 3 snipes out of thousands fail, it's worth the risk for me.

well you keep saying it's "preference" but you didn't respond to a single point in my post for example (reposted again below). If you truly bid on ebay a lot and win, you would have experienced paying way more than you had to and it would have been obvious via looking at the bidder list and seeing bidders rebidding when they couldn't have if you sniped for example. I suspect since this is a seller-oriented board that many of the people opposed to sniping are actually sellers for whom sniping works against them making the most money (please don't take this as a shot at you, I don't know what your personal reasons are, although you haven't really given a specific reason why not sniping is good and haven't responded to anyone's reasons why sniping is good). sniping removes the psychology of the auction. people think they know their top price but they don't. when they see they've been outbid, they bid again, that means they really didn't put in their top price. your top price could have won if you removed the other bidder's opportunity to rebid. even if you win, you end up paying much more than you would have otherwise due to other bidder's rebidding, as I'm sure you will notice when you check the bid history and see other bidders rebidding. bidding early also knocks up the price early and sets higher standards for the record for everyone. even on the magnetics, now that it's up so high so early, even the snipers will be bidding much higher than they would otherwise than if it had stayed low until the last day.

to me this is a weak garage cover of the detroit emeralds, i can't imagine this having real value

Phil, if you want to win anything on ebay you have to snipe it anyways. Try esnipe.com, bidnapper.com, auctionsniper.com, etc. Bidding early just sets you up to be outbid.

that seller sells northern records for top dollar on ebay, if they have the chico lamarr record left it won't be cheap. a bunch of the vonciel myers that are floating around came from that seller.

OK, finally ran the label and got the missing number, here is 1007: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330402664577 Ultimate 1999 1007 - Kush - Summertime is here / inst. I don't know if it's an identical recording to 1008 but the label design is different, the 1008 # is a green label with a different font.

my info about the ambassadors came from someone who talked to a group member, i can follow up if you care

you know there's another derby city record, right, by dede townsend?

here's just a closeup photo of the lead singer live, his suit is different than the other guys but the other guys are all wearing the suits that the dude in the background has: https://my.sxsw.com/events/event/5513

no, i never learned how to work a camera! they don't do a lot of shows because apparently it is expensive to travel with such a large combo but they are playing south by southwest in texas in march so i'm sure there will be some photos from that.

a lot of louisville acts went to ohio to record in the 60s. for example, donny murphy and the ambassadors on redbug, who became the soul ambassadors on sound stage seven. there are a bunch of other examples. for example roosevelt and the seven cs (who initially recorded on blackjack in ohio before recording on rondo) are from louisville. rondo was one of the main louisville labels in the early 70s, I'm not sure if they started by '69? in the early 70s there was also the jay-sum label. the heartbreakers on derby city is from 1970. The heartbreakers on miracle (also a louisville label) is from '69, so that predates your derby city example. obviously one of the most important musical acts to come out of louisville was harvey fuqua and the moonglows. bobbi downs on correc-tone is from louisville, he previously sang lead in the doowop group little pete and the youngsters and was later in the new birth.

one went through cheap on ebay within the last year, I don't have it but i noticed it searching another user's ebay purchases. i didn't know there was a second one, one of those things where i didn't even click on a record by "kane and able" because I didn't know there was one I didn't have.

I recently saw KGF live and they were AWESOME. Whatever anyone's opinion is on this or any other 45 due to some BS about price, the 45 pressing, backlash, buzz, etc., I highly recommend seeing their live show, they were tight as hell, totally psychedelic, matching suits (not mod type suits, like 70s psychedelic combo type suits, etc.), amazing.

no it has a different a-side, "it's out of my hands". the northern side sucks anyways, the sweet side is the side someone would buy it for.

I think you should check out popsike for some verification of some ebay prices. I think the previous poster was closer than your valuation (although he was on the low end) and this turns up.

did he really use the word "nutters"?

just went on manship for 194 pounds, will do 200, please pm me. thanks.

i doubt someone could afford his concert rate he gets with maze (where he does stadiums) to do a northern show (where he doesn't remember his old songs anyways). I don't consider him "contemporary" either, I think when he does shows people want to hear songs like "happy feelings" and "before I let go", etc.
