no, that's the flares. this flairs is velvet on perception though.

Registered mail takes longer, sometimes 2 weeks within the US, I would wait more than 2 weeks before starting anything, plus there should be a tracking number the seller can provide saying where the package is.

thanks a lot for the corrections, are they all spelled "jackey beavers" on all titles (e.g. did I get it wrong on all of them)? Thanks.

Someone pm'ed me here asking about this, here is what I came up with (mainly via google, etc., although I do own some of the records), no holes but are there any errors or missing numbers? 7110 - Soul Continentals - Ooh I love you / Movin' and a groovin 7111 - Jackey Beavers - Lover Come Back / Gee You're A Pretty Thing 7111 - Jackey Beavers - Lover Come Back / I Hate To See A Man Cry 7112 - Jackey Beavers Show - We're not too young / When something is wrong with my baby 7113 - Flame and the Lovelights - Why is love (such a mighty hard thing) / The way I want our love 7114 - Jackey Beavers - Hold On / Hey Girl (I Can't Stand To See You Cry) 7115 - Mighty Elegant - I find myself falling in love with you / I don't know what 7116 - The "Us" - Let's do it today (procrastination) / Peace 7117 - Karen Striblin - We're not too young (to fall in love) / Just a little girl in love

myles was the last name of the guitarist. childs was the last name of a few of the group members.

it probably books like $10000 or something stupider in a newer osborne guide -- have you seen the newer ones that include 'northern soul'? they're way more expensive than manship. the person asking probably has an old guide. i have never seen this for sale before btw, I wish this type of record was in my league of bidding

John Manship specifically thought it was NOT a repress after comparing two copies. Other people here do think it's a repress. That is the controversy.

is that for the west coast or east coast press?

oh ok, the reason why it was sneaky to resend your public comments to him was totally obvious

this is a public forum, how is it sneaky that he finds out what is posted here? if you don't want other people to know what you are saying about them, don't post in a public forum.

this one comes up for sale all the time though (usually trashed). all 3 are good records imo. The one mentioned in this thread is the hardest and best imo.

Hi. Today on my radio show I interviewed Walter Coleman, guitarist of the the south side group the Paramonts. Walter was from the west side of Chicago and sang in a group called the Majestics while attending Crane High School. While performing at a show, Walter met a Dusable high school girl group that contained sisters Earline and Cormie Vance. A year later, the group was talking to the owners of Ole records, King Bevill and Browley Guy, about recording for the label. The group contacted Walter to write material to record. A few months later Dusable classmate McKinley Norris joined the group, coming up with the name the Paramonts. With the lineup of Earline Vance, Cormie Vance, Rosemarie Rice, and McKinley Norris, the group released their only single, "Come go with me" / "I don't wanna lose you" on Ole records, which was written by Coleman. Although "I don't want to lose you" was the intended A-side, DJs ended up flipping the record over and "Come go with me" became a regional hit. Although the Ole record was the group's only single, the group did do some backing work for other singers. The group backed Bobby Jones on his single, "Check me out" / "Beware a stranger" on USA records. The group also worked with Chicago manager Bernice Williams (who managed the Starlets, Dukays, Accents, and Gene Chandler), backing one of her artists. The session resulted in two tracks, "Ronnie boy" / "Double timing lover", that got released on Detroit's Karen records under the group name "The Antoinettes". Soon after the group's singles were released, singer Rose Rice died in a house fire. Although group members were devastated, they eventually replaced Rice with Gwendolyn Little, previously of Henry Ford and the Gifts. The new lineup of the group auditioned for Oscar Brown Jr., for his "Opportunity Please Knock" Review. The review was a show Brown organized to take Blackstone Rangers gang members off the street by giving them a creative outlet. The review consisted of several acts performing separately, followed by everyone performing together as the "Opportunity Please Knock Choir." Henry Ford also joined the review as a member of the band and choir. The review performed in LA for a couple of weeks, returning to Chicago and then going back to LA to perform more dates and to appear on the Smothers Brothers TV show. The Paramonts performed on the show as part of the Choir. The review did a few more shows in California. All the members except Walter returned to Chicago. McKinley Norris went on to join the soul group the Devotions. Walter stayed in Northern California, leading a band known as the Windy City Soul Brothers (which also initially included Henry Ford). The band performed all over the Bay area, performing with such groups as the Whispers and Natural Four. The group eventually shortened their name to the Windy City, eventually breaking up around 1977. Walter stayed in Oakland, starting his own recording studio, and has been recording and producing material on local artists since the late 70s.

i will totally trade a mint copy of the whispers for the oracles

as a relatively younger guy who would not know dance music on the label, I love the label because every time I see it I hear the black moon album in my head

also, even if they are not messed up from the original pressing, the stampers are not like sturdy pieces of metal that will easily keep, they are like flimsy pieces of flexible metal that are easily bent up, etc. For example, I've found stampers in a producer's box of records, all bent up, no way would they be usable. I don't know if people think of them as permanent things (like a 'master') but they're not.

i'm guessing a white artist?

you should test the collective knowledge of soul source to actually prove that nobody knows it by posting audio...

there obviously are very valuable old 78s, but the big band type stuff generally isn't, it would have to be blues or hillbilly music, etc.

I don't know how controversial it would be to support Black power in 1972, seems like a pretty in thing for the time. One interesting thing to note (which I knew before but which the label scan confirms) is that LJ Reynolds is from Sagniaw, MI, small town home to the Ringleaders, the Darrells on Lyco, and I think Stevie Wonder.

... but not on the b-side of the promo copies

I have it on both but I think one of the labels is just a promo with the same song on both sides? Does it exist with both sides on both labels?

i would like to read it if you can scan it or post the text. thanks.

even blindingly obscure in these circles! I found some article with a vague reference to it: https://blogs.usatoday.com/idolchatter/2009...th-melinda.html doesn't look like she has any real connection to the original record either.

They are a saginaw, MI group and Vandy still lives in Saginaw. I don't know if he's well enough to attend and come all the way down to Chicago but I will let him know about your event. If anyone else wants to say anything about the record / group, I will be mailing him a printout of stuff people said soon. Thanks.
