not even the first pre-atlantic press

the ripples and waves are not the jackson five

like half of all kiddie records ever released after the jackson five came out sound like michael jackson

Michael Washington on Capcity is 100% *NOT* Michael Jackson

i've also seen both promos and stock of the mercury, i think stock more frequently

carl, i think i got my mercury press from kip brown actually

a) I don't think it was booted if you're talking about that one that just went cheap on ebay, it was real, it just went cheap on ebay

big wheel also rarer in my experience. promos of 'two time loser' rarer than stock copies in my experience.

lebanese pressing is not the original country of origin and not the original pressing, you're not allowed to play it on a lebanese press, according to the rules I learned on soul source.

this person is starting their auction at $1.99 and appears to be the original artist. They seem very reasonable. I've met people who think their used toilet paper is worth a million dollars because one person on soul source once posted that their record was okay in 2004 and they googled their name. This seems like a reasonable auction and a cool thing to bid on and I don't understand everyone's attitude here. The only negative is that he says it was never before available, meaning that he might rerun the auction many times with many more prints of the photo. Essentially you're paying for a personalized autograph and a cool photo, which you can potentially get a reasonable price.

if you read my post, i actually said that willie nelson had "soul" and was "soulful". he also would probably be a cool dude to hang out with (especially if you smoked weed) but he isn't a "soul music" artist. either way, I missed the point of the thread that bicks was making about the other modern thread because i didn't see the other modern thread.

i compared names and the lucky lou groups is 100% the same group as on newark / chess, etc. bizarre they would make a record sounding like that.

i would make a distinction between 'soul music' and 'soulful music'. there are a bazillion singers and songs in other genres that i would call 'soulful' (including willie nelson) but including them in a soul forum would clog up the place. willie nelson was 'soulful' and he had 'soul' but he did not make 'soul music'. that is also different than a race argument, as obviously many white singers did make 'soul music.' i would prefer 'all about the soul' be confined to actual 'soul music' and not just any singer that was soulful. my 2cents.

unless... i never considered this before ... the tnjs aren't even related to the soul group, i never compared names on the record actually, i will check tonight.

both are very garagey sounding, despite the TNJs being black anyways. natural facts sounds white. they should be in refosoul

i agree, i can't believe people in this thread are saying that a beach and garage/tex-mex group's cover of one of the great early 70s soul group records are better than the original. i don't think that the covering groups would even say that.

walter scott recorded as walter scott and the kapers on ivanhoe ($5 45 that sounds like a $1000 45, great double-sider)

that south side club photo book is going to be INSANE

i played it on spectrum sound. another good bahamas northern sound is a cover of syl johnson's 'same kind of thing' by smokey 007 and the exciters. there are a ton of bahamas records but i'm no expert on island stuff, the numero guys know more than i do as they worked on a belize comp and i think are working on a bahamas comp now

i think something similar with one of the sides (not both sides) of the festivals on collosus / gordy

i love that tv clip of 'dangling on a string' where it starts with the closeup of general johnson and the camera pans back and after a minute and it's just like gogo dancers in a field in front of the washington monument, that is like the funniest shit ever.

for me: 1. young mods - i can't hurt you back 2. caesars - desperate for your affection 3. perfections - baby don't you go 4. perfections - girl you better hurry

mercury much harder in my experience even though it is is the national and later label

sound works for me, but it's a little low, so maybe you should turn the youtube volume level up. it's spelled 'admerations' on the records, there's a pseudo-explanation in the actual interview, like it's possibly a typo or possibly intentional to differentiate between the Admirations who were still active at the time, so I left the spelling as on the record.
