i'm in chicago, i know how important it is to control the voting

youngblood was a common nickname and smith is a common name

There is a poll feature on any post you can set up where it will let users vote and keep a tally for you

i agree, awesome record

issue is very hard to find, hard to price something like this, part of the question is, is the flip any good?

I agree with your points, and I don't dislike the susan m record either, it's just a pleasant pop record to me.

Hi. Today on my radio show I was supposed to start with an interview with the Memphis group the Epics (who cut one record on a memphis label and one record on a Chicago label) but couldn't get the phone on the air due to technical difficulties so I did an all music show. You can listen to the show on my music page at https://www.sittingin...k.com/shows.htm . Playlist follows. Thanks for your interest.

maybe there was some connection, I don't know. in the other thread matt w. was saying that he thought there was a connection between the domestic five and the international five. It would be cool to get to the bottom of it.

your snoring emoticon doesn't address the more specific point that this is not just a pop record but the type of pop record that I might hear in a grocery store, not a storming dance pop record. it might be nice and soulish, like petula clark's "downtown", but it's not close to a soul record. the backing track isn't much better than wade flemons either, which I think is also central to the point you're trying to make. neither record is really a dance record anyways, but one is an excellent soul record and one is a pleasant pop record.

unlimited four was definitely the new jersey chanson label though. international five was GM pressed and detroit connected though, we were discussing in another thread that there appears to be two "chanson" operations, I don't know what the connection was.

now steve's going to take that as an insult

at least you're also guaranteed good service with steve, i got a record from him once packed very well in a US mailer, it still got crushed somehow and he sent me another for free

i've never heard this susan maughan version before but i wouldn't even call it a soul record, like it would be pleasant to hear in the grocery store maybe

although I don't understand your sentence, my comment was in response to someone saying it should be 15-20 quid, which was way too high, my sentence was saying it should be $1-$5 dollars. Sorry if that was not clear.

this was always sort of around (not ultra-common but came up once in a while) then people on here started hyping it up about a year ago like it was some mega rarity

who would that much for this common record that was a hit? I can go to gemm right now and even find a UK seller that has it for $5, this should be like a $1 record.

i've seen this twice on ebay, once it went for $500 other time it went for $250 (I was the second bidder the other time), doesn't turn up, maybe that is a realistic set sale price given that people's set sale prices here are at least about double ebay and this is one that doesn't come up for sale

Pete S put me in touch with Kenney Harrison of the Promatics, they were a totally different group, he's pretty cool, they were also from the bay area and sang backup on a few other tracks including Lonnie Hewitt "Gotta keep my bluff in" and Marvin Holmes and Justice on Brown Door.

dig deeper's doing their live show in brooklyn on the 30th of this month, it's gonna be sick, i'm flying out there to see it, anyone in the states should definitely go.

do you listen to urban radio? people do remixes of tracks all the time where they pretty much redo the whole song with a different artist, it's almost like the same thing.

i seriously doubt it. i don't know the record but more likely a reference to Jackson, MS

that's not cheap for a trashed copy relative to the mint copies that sold

not that rare, i'm surprised that you're surprised. i think the story was it was originally issued with dog eat dog as the intended a-side, it became the hit, then they reissued it with part 2.

I don't think it's the fuller brothers pretending to be different people, it's producer ron carson reusing the same backing track on different artists. love and brotherhood were a real group, i have a photo of them, and they're not the fuller brothers as far as I know (although I guess I never checked against a photo of the fuller brothers to see if they looked the same).

it's clearly a songwriter's demo, not intended for radio play (made so the person could shop around a song), which is why it comes with sheet music, and why the person can't sing very well.
