like 4 copies went through ebay since scott's post!

did you try searching on archive.org or the waybackmachine or something to recover it?

i don't want to pay higher than my max though, that seller is a conservative grader, let me know if you decide to sell at my max. thanks.

i was the second bidder just because i haven't seen it, so i'm responsible for the slightly but not obnoxiously high price i guess

that makes sense since the LP was clearly later

if you look at the writing credits on this, this is clearly the same joan baker that had the record as joan baker and the belgianettes on ember. She was not a member of the belgianettes (at least on okeh) though.

the lead singer was named henry brown. the group had 6 records. two of them are extremely rare. one of the members sang with the chilites in the mid 70s.

just to clarify now that you've clarified on your question and I see what you're talking about -- 100% bootleg.

the best part is that they spelled "curtis mccormack" wrong on the bootleg, what idiots. Anyone know who did this and if they are interested in paying the singers?

I didn't know it was bootlegged, if it was, it is very recent, I haven't seen it around but I don't get out enough. I didn't see your link in your original post.

this is real release. are you posting just to brag you got this? none of the group members have a copy of this by the way.

i've only seen this for sale twice, once on ebay when john anderson had it up and once in real life, I got it when I saw it in real life, I really like the "loving sweet thing" side. My friend talked to the label owner once and he told my friend that there was a third "fragile handle with care" 45 but I have never seen it, I think maybe the owner was talking about the gail miles 45 or something. anyone ever seen a third fragile handle with care 45?

Rhythm Rascals is, according to the soul harmony singles book: Jerry Hilton Cleveland "Butch" Martin Earl Thompson Robert Thompson Jim Mitchell (bass) Formerly the R&B group the Diadems and, except for mitchell, later of the Del Vikings on Fee Bee. It doesn't mention this but Jerry Hilton was obviously in jerry hilton and Gentle Rain.

i actually knew about that, I heard it was like a year ago, i heard it was mint and came from the UK not even the US. people all the time are posting on here about their gemm finds, someone was like "I got a trent sisters on gogate for $200", etc.

one final bump. can anyone confirm the existence of this record? if no one has this, I will assume I am confused and I didn't see this before (I definitely didn't see a photo) and it doesn't exist for now. The group member did remember the name the "rainbows" however (he said andre williams came up with the name) and remembered the song. He thought both m-pac records were unreleased and remembered recording even more songs at m-pac that were unreleased and remembered the titles. M-pac didn't release many duplicate records with the same catalog number also so that's more evidence against a "rainbows" record, it would be cool if someone could confirm its existence. Thanks.

man, i can't find jack sh*t on gemm, i constantly hear stories of people finding crazy stuff on gemm. i use gemm to buy stuff like the manhattans on columbia. i even put in searches and everything, never hit. even years ago never found anything, even weirdo unknown sweet soul. even stuff on major labels.

the lp exists, the question is whether the 45s exist though.

thanks so much for the lead, will see how it goes...

she told me that they were just some guys that e rodney jones brought into the studio. i tried to get chuck colbert to dig up the paperwork on who they were but he didn't get back to me.

gil-scott heron isn't on turbo, brother to brother's cover version (which was a bigger hit) is on turbo

that should say "if charly did have that discography" as obviously you said the company produced it...

ok thanks for clarifying. then that list (the one on your website) is missing the twilites record. This one: I also could use a scan of the rainbows record and audio of the missing rainbows side for the group member, assuming it does actually exist. The liner notes to the Charly comp were the ones written by Bob Pruter, right? For that CD they mastered off of Bob Stallworth's copy of the Twilites record so they didn't do it off any masters and in Pruter's doowop book he only mentions two twilites sides on m-pac (he didn't know about the Rainbows side). So if Charly did produce that discography, it conflicted with the info of the guy writing the liner notes to the CD as well as the source of the material on the CD. Thanks in advance for any help.

the group member remembers the song by the way, he says it was an answer to the shirelles "soldier boy". also, why do all the discographies (which steal from each other anyways) list the rainbows title but not the twilites title? I don't think there was some company catalog that the info came from, I think that it's all from people's records.

the seller was happyjaque (or whatever his name was, he uses a different name now, he's in california), he listed it without a photo, it was listed as VG-, i lost it for $6
