i know gordon keith too but i have no idea what this thread is referring to so some more context would be helpful

very sad news. he had amazing video of the lil soul brothers on his myspace page btw: https://www.myspace.com/curtissboone he had also emailed my friend some awesome newspaper clippings of the group, I will try to dig them up and post then.

you had to have it on a test press

sweet dreams and kinchelow are an unrelated 80s detroit label.

you're cousins with elvis costello? you should listen to my teacher's edition interview where they talk about him covering their song, they thought it was very funny that someone called them "terminally obscure" in some liner notes.

stock / clean copies used to be around. the reason you see beat up copies for sale now is that it was a local hit in chicago (like the sunday record for example) so you're seeing copies that were dug up out of people's collections probably.

that's why I was saying it depends on where the needle rides in the groove, it depends on your cartridge and tonearm and settings, etc. In general I don't disagree but if the needle rides low in the groove it can have less / little effect.

i just reread that part and i have no idea what she meant from the context but it's pretty funny

i think it depends on the cartridge / stylus and where it rides in the groove as to how the skimming affects the sound, but in general any improvement in sound is just due to the cleaning affect which you can achieve by cleaning the record yourself.

DO NOT DO IT it does not improve the sound better than a good cleaning. it just gives the record a fake shiny appearance. shady sellers use it to falsely upgrade their records.

apologies if this has been posted already, i searched and couldn't find it https://www.metrotimes.com/music/story.asp?id=14232

eli played me some of his new stuff when i was in new york, it's great (imo) and will appeal more to the northern crowd than his previous material

i'm sorry about your experiences. i think the moral of the story is that there are many sleazy people who deal in records on all sides unfortunately.

the track "roving girl" is done by ruby jean on monster masters label, is that the track you are referring to? anyways, I saw ezzie picked this up on the cheap on ebay and moerer has it up now.

the same argument works both ways. i agree the post is surprisingly efficient. there are a surprisingly number of shady sellers out there. i buy a large amount of records online to know. i have to spend a lot of time fighting with sellers getting them to send my records. there are enough posts about shady sellers on here to know that is the case. putting in the first paypal claim without fully escalating it is a way to pressure sellers to get them to actually mail your records when they are not doing so, and it isn't initiating a chargeback.

love the condescending attitude. at least you didn't call me a woman... I wasn't commenting on the "northern soul scene" (which you are focused on), I was responding to your comment about preserving the legacy of African-American Music which extends far beyond the northern soul scene but which you are too embedded in to see. If you limit your comments to the "northern soul scene" that's fine with me.

it's so awesome that you think that by making the music more available it makes it pointless and the way to preserve the legacy of "forgotten young black American soul music" is to censor it so that it's only available in soul clubs. how self-absorbed in your scene and divorced from reality do you have to be to think that? I'm sure the artists would rather stay in obscurity with their records covered up under a piece of paper in a dark nightclub than actually be enjoyed by people on their ipods, cars, computers, reissued onto CD, etc. and maybe even get paid royalties and eventually do shows. You're really doing them a favor. You can argue for keeping music in clubs, etc., for your own specific reasons in preserving your scene but don't pretend you're somehow preserving the music that way or the legacy of the artists, what a joke.

This is also generally a seller-oriented website. There have been at least two attempts so far to establish a soul auction site (one of which is advertising right now). As you note, they might not have any chance of succeeding, but if they did, an independent auction site isn't going to be successful if the starting bids are people's high set sale prices that they sell at here. The whole appeal of ebay is the chance of getting a bargain (or the chance of picking up oddball records buried amongst the large amount of crap, which is one of the appeals for me at least). Nobody is going to put in a starting bid of 100 pounds on a record that is worth 100 pounds. And advice to buyers -- you should NEVER wait past 45 days to start a paypal claim. You still haven't escalated to a DISPUTE at that point (e.g. you are NOT claiming money back from a seller) -- never give up your window to get your money back from a seller that is going to scam you. If you don't file a claim within the window, you can't escalate it to a dispute later. I'm not talking about dealing with responsive sellers who are emailing you back with proof of postage either, I'm talking about the sellers who don't email you back or who lead you on with lies, etc. A responsive seller will at least understand when you put in the claim too, as the claim isn't an escalation to a dispute.

this is my friend's show Chic-a-go-go. Another cool clip I posted was Henry Ford demonstrating the Monkey Time. I think I also posted Harvey Scales, he was awesome recently. There have been a ton of R&B artists on, too many to list.

i posted a bunch of interesting videos recently, the new yorkers doing "aint that news", etc.... not many people read the video section though.

that's my friend's show Chic-a-go-go. Marvin was suprisingly much more excited by "this heart of mine" than he was by "I'm gonna miss you". He came on the show with Larry Blasingaine, but I don't know if my friend put the interview with Larry on his youtube page. Back to the topic, some of the clips posted (e.g. in the Teddy Pendergrass thread) are more than just music clips, they are actual performances, Mike, are you also opposed to those. I posted a clip of what i think is the greatest performance in soul music history, the blue notes on soul, teddy is crying by the end, when I first saw the clip (I think maybe even posted here), I watched it every day for like 4 months, it's amazing. Obviously just posting youtube clips of audio here or fan-videos is sort of pointless if it's in refosoul but some of the teddy pendergrass clips in that thread were actual performances on soul train or other shows. You're not opposed to that, right?

if it's a cheap item, it's not worth bidding if the postage is going to be the cost of the item though. for more expensive items fine. Brian's auctions are a mix of both. he can't reasonably change the terms on each auction depending on how he thinks the item will finish and if you're listing a bunch of cheaper items you shoot yourself in the foot to require insurance (or at least registered mail).

one of the greatest live performances ever recorded (from Soul!): https://www.youtube.c...h?v=aOZuyAkj7Bc

the one I lost was more than 12 months ago so it could have been on ebay 3 times
