Not golden world, but that reminds me that I have a really cool sleeve stamp on a gigi and the upnilons 45 on lummtone, like it has the artist name and a drawing as part of the stamp (sort of like a poor mans pic sleeve), I will try to post it.

it's a great track, but it always reminds me of what you see is what you get, i think it's copying the vibe some

this doesn't sound like steve mancha to me. this is actually worst version to my ears. The best version being the mad lads (they were just too good), then steve mancha, than this version.

thanks for clearing that up. it still looks like the blue label was not actually pressed in the bahamas though, just based on how the label looks, it looks like other TK stuff of the time.

i must have been asleep because i didn't see it then. did the collectors or fantastic soul locks show up?

thanks everyone for all the info. is the red label press a caribbean press while the blue label is from florida?

female voice for me: gladys knight, barbara lynn, patti hamilton i'm not sure about the male one, levi stubbs is up there though.

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=310130043729 it says bahamas but it looks like a florida press and it's got florida publishing (miscredited of course), etc.

I would say maybe a $25. This one might be a little harder than the #797 title with the alternate version of baby all the time on it.

i have a clean copy in the pic sleeve, I would trade it for a heavy trade if someone has a good trade.

how much commission do you get?

when did groovey grooves stock surface? wasn't it a custom label? there are a couple oddball group soul records on the label that are pretty rare and I don't think copies of those are around.

lots of people looking btw

i think you should not bid just to be safe

It's the masquerades on formal, not the masqueraders. It should not be valuable. A couple of the scott brothers were in this group.

butch won the last (non-cracked) copy on ebay if you want to approach him about it

I wonder if you create 50 ebay user IDs, do an auction, and watch your items if you can get your auctions featured in the sales link here and other places...

the sound change is mainly when the record is heat damaged -- e.g. the actual grooves have a rippled look. i heard these record flatteners work much better on LPs than they do on 45s.

Hi. Today on my radio show I interviewed members of the Chicago group the Marlynns. The Marlynns were from the South Side of Chicago and formed at Hirsch high school. The group was originally called the Norvells (named after the wife of the bass singer of the Soul Stirrers) and were an unusual Chicago group as they featured a woman on lead with male backing singers. After Richard Pegue's group the Belvederes took the name the Norvells, the group changed their name to the Marlynns. After a couple of years of playing in talent shows, the group got a record contract, via legendary Chicago engineer Ed Cody, with Tower records. The group released their first single on the Tower label in 1963. The A-side of the record, "The Break", was a novelty dance track that received radio play in Chicago. The flip, "My heart is yours", was a nice Miracles inspired ballad. The group appeared on the Jim Lounsbury TV show and, via Lounsbury, did record hops for White teenagers in the northwest suburbs. The group recorded their second single, "Come back" b/w "The very next time", a year later for James Shelton's Daran record label. Shelton was group member Terry Thompson's uncle and Marshall Thompson of the Chilites was Terry's cousin; the tracks were recorded at the same session as the Chi-Lites' "I'm so jealous". Despite both sides of the Marlynns record being excellent ballads, the track received little promotion in the wake of the Chi-lites' success. Although the Daran record was the last Marlynns single, the group did do some session work, backing Sheryl Swope on her first single, backing other Daran artists, and even doing backing vocals for Ral Donner. The Marlynns disbanded in the mid-to-late 60s after Thompson joined the military. A couple of the members formed a band called the Chi-TNTs that played around Chicago until 1973. Member Sheryl Henry joined the South Shore Commission, singing lead on tracks such as "We're on the right track". Terry Thompson started working as a session drummer in Chicago even in high school while with the Marlynns (he even was on staff at Vee Jay records). Thompson also worked at Chess, playing drums on a large number of Chicago soul records in the 60s and 70s. He also began producing and arranging music in the 60s, working with James Shelton, Richard Pegue, and Clarence Johnson. He continues to be involved with performing and producing music in Chicago.

ok, a quick google does reveal websites that reveal popular / watched ebay items. Taking out ads based on them still takes it one level further though. Either way, it's not going away any time soon so no use in me bitching about it.

i think they definitely draw attention to things that casual ebay users who don't look regularly will have missed. I'm sort of paranoid about how they work because not everything is keyed off of generic terms like "northern soul", etc. I think maybe ebay uses watch or view statistics to determine what will be popular. I don't want them using what I've watched in my watch items to show other people things...

well it helped that there were a couple threads here hyping it up plus the ads on the right. i don't understand why people post links to ebay auctions that aren't their own, are they trying to keep up the value of records they own already? it's not like it's doing anyone a favor as drawing a lot of attention to it will just make it not be a deal for anyone.

the gloria scott and the tonettes 45 is much earlier than the barry white production, though. I think it is from California because it looks like it's written by Sly Stone, writing credits are "stewart" and it says a sly production on the record. So maybe Gloria Scott and the Tonettes are connected to the modern group who are connected to the sweethearts?

thanks for clarifying, that's what i was wondering

there's a soundclip on manship's site, it has the same backing track as the intensions "she's my baby"
