I still need the faces, it's exactly the same group as the new testament band. there is the al hunter on SOC, it's pretty good, first label before the other label that I'm blanking on... "don't bring me no early mornings". there is at least one more SOC thing I'm not thinking of.

hourglass is definitely the second release. the label owner was complaining to me about how he thought hourglass even pressed more copies and didn't pay him anything.

15 grand tops

hearing this was similar to hearing the original version of "betcha by golly wow" by connie stevens -- bizarre and not bad and totally unexpected, but not as good as the stylistics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytksbAHzP38

the original question wasn't about preserving the cultural heritage of the northern soul scene, nor was I commenting on the cuture of the northern soul scene, which I am not qualified to comment on.

Dave, it seems you always trying to flame me. You never have anything positive to say and are always out to get me, often to the point of being silly and irrational. You take snipes at me every chance you get. I post on a US site by the way -- soulfuldetroit. The two message boards I post on are here and soulfuldetroit. There are other US sites devoted to record collecting that are soul oriented (such as soul strut) that I don't post on. I would post on soul talk if there were any traffic. Soulfuldetroit is actually evidence I would present in this thread as it is filled with older music fans and collectors and musicians who continued to be involved with the music, independent of and oblivious of the northern scene. But I don't really want to get involved in this thread. By the way, I look at your site (soulfuldkindamusic) all the time, it's great. I'm also very sorry to hear of the passing of your wife, my condolences.

monetary value and the fetishization of plastic doesn't equate to cultural value. the fact that people didn't pay insane amounts for pieces of plastic doesn't mean they didn't value the music. even most of the records weren't worth that much in england until recently, now every obscure record is worth a bazillion dollars, it used to be that you could actually get interesting and good records for $5 or less.

i can't choose because the marvelows is my hometown and butch is my dude but earl lewis has an awesome voice also

As someone from "across the pond", I disagree, but also don't want to get involved in the discussion as I have before and it always turns into a flame war... just wanted to get this out there...

do you mean the Channels I got my eyes on you? The channels version came out first actually (I recently learned that).

i saw that when it was on ebay (which I guess you won) but stayed off because the seller said it was white

thanks for listening, I really appreciate it! the flips of those two acetates are actually northern records... (the lovelites was one-sided, the other ones had northern sides)

Hi. Today on my radio show my interview rescheduled so I did a music show. I did a special show where in addition to playing 45s, I did a special set at the end where I played all unreleased acetates, including an unreleased Patti and the Lovelites track as well as a set of Esquires demos. You can listen to the show at https://www.sittinginthepark.com/shows.htm . Playlist follows. Thanks for your interest.

i think the existence of another press with another flip is relevant to your question as it affects the rarity and value of the other press, also depending on how the flip of the quality press sounds.

nice playlist

to further confuse your picture, the canadian issue (on quality??? someone correct me if I'm wrong) has a different flipside

still on my list of people, sorry I have not gotten to them yet! I have another early 80s group I'm working on that I know you would be into that hopefully will be coming up soon (don't want to announce it as that has a way of screwing things up). Thanks again for being a regular listener by the way.

this seller is a regular around these parts

poets - wrapped around your finger

he'd still manage to mess it up somehow

also only vaguely related, but the kiddie version I just got only credits walter williams and not bobby dukes or eddie levert

a lot of chicago groups were on AMG, they basically charged you $2000 to record and "promote" your record, they weren't a custom label in that they presented themselves as a legit label. the puzzle people claimed their record actually got played on the american bandstand TV show... the variations of love were even from buffalo, NY

vaguely related, but I just got up a 4th version of this track I've never seen before by the "new city sound" on AMG. It shares the same backing as the rock 'n co but it's a kiddie group singing out of tune. The flip is a cover of starwind on pilot master and shares the same backing track as that. Interesting record I've never seen before (unfortunately not very good). The other versions are by Rock n' co and Changing Tymes.

the product is very toxic, most things that actually get the record clean are

also, did you test it on styrene? because paint thinner melts styrene for sure, not sure about vinyl, but it dissolves styrene. i know this isn't paint thinner but same family of chemicals right?
