those are all ohio records. the soul searchers wgr is a kiddie group covering a sly stone song.

Is this the same group as on mega: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=170285949428 names on this are M + M. W. Leak. I know the mega group was contacted for the reissue, etc so the names of those guys have to be known. If it is the same group, how'd they get onto a german label? I thought this was a nice sweet soul record, I was the second bidder. I'd love to see the whole newspaper article that was the pic cover of the mellow madness reissue, anyone have a scan of the whole thing? Thanks.

i have the 45 off the lp, "lover's lullaby", nice sweet soul, comes as a UA promo and much harder as a UA issue. Obviously that LP is rarer!

that's right, i told you i know nothing about rock music...

oh, the scan made me realize I do know this record and have it heard before, I think it's not the song I was thinking of. Thanks.

very rare on teri de... just get it on minit, much cheaper.

sorry if this is a stupid question, but is this like a rock record? I don't know anything about rock music, but don't the electric prunes have a song like this or something like that? if so, is it a cover of that song?

that is it actually

the female average guy is a texas record, brenda southhall and the dallasites on doing our thang records. it's a red label I think. the black soul express is on the BSE label and it's known by funk collectors, I think it has a picture of an oil rig on the label if I remember correctly.

I've seen the blue version, haven't seen it a lot though. don't know which one is actually first and I'm not sure how the author of the books would know either, I think people always tend to speculate that the rarer one is first somehow when often that's not the case.

I'm good at fixing skips. the problem with fixing skips in styrene is that it tends to burn out the record if it's hard to fix. Like to fix it I have to play the record back and forth over the spot, sometimes with a fisher price turntable (one of my many secret techniques...). but if you do it on a styrene record too much it causes styrene burn. i thought my copy of breakaway was vinyl though, maybe because it's a promo.

it's actually the "supurbs" with two Us. Just FYI.

I do have the record but not a double to sell, sorry. Try posting in the wants section, maybe someone will have one. Here is a soundclip of both sides of the stormy. This is a decent copy. This is my last bump before it goes back in the trade box for now... stormy.mp3

hey joe, i'm in Chicago and i'm willing to give you my old scanner so you can actually have pictures of the records you're selling, if you want. it would probably help you out since it looks really bad when you have scans of previously sold other people's records in your auctions.

i have I think a pretty clean copy too. it would be better if you got one from the uk though.

Hi Ian. Are those the original members of the Vonettes? The spectropop interview with Sandi Sheldon says it's just Sandy and Van McCoy and a misprint of the "Vanettes" but I've also seen a promo photo of the "vonettes" with 3 girls and now I'm seeing your video. If they are original members on record, do you know the names of the other two members? Here is the spectropop interview: https://www.spectropop.com/SandiSheldon/index.htm thanks, Bib

Hi. Today on my radio show I interviewed Chicago musician and producer Bruce Thompson. Bruce was born in Indianapolis but at a young age moved to the Harold Icke projects on the South Side of Chicago. His first professional recording happened when he played organ on the Emotions' first Stax/Volt record, "So I can love you" (the backing track was actually recorded in Chicago). Bruce and his parents moved to Morgan Park right before Bruce started high school. Bruce saw local Morgan Park group Raw Umber performing and joined the band as a keyboard player, playing on their 3 released 45s. The group broke up when one of the members was drafted in 1971. Bruce soon joined the air force. On returning from the military, Bruce began working as an organ demonstrator at a Wurlitzer store. At the store, the road manager for the band 24 Karat Black approached Bruce. 24 Karat Black were originally a Cincinnati group called the Ditalians; the group recorded a legendary funk / rare groove LP on Enterprise records. Several of the original Ohio members had left the group and Bruce and several other Chicago musicians joined the group as replacements. Bruce toured with the group for two years and even recorded an unreleased 24 Karat Black LP. After the group broke up Bruce came back to Chicago and, with the former Chicago members of 24 Karat Black, formed a group called Chocolate Sunday. The group cut a single -- Second Story Man / Beautiful Sounds, on the local Chicago Dynamic record label. Bruce worked at the studio set up by the label, engineering and producing records by the Nikki Buzz band and Split Evolution. The label and studio soon folded, without distributing or promoting the Chocolate Sunday single. Bruce joined the Mel Hayes Boogie Man Orchestra (who had a national hit "Lady Lady Lady" in 1976) and performed with the band for about 5 years. Bruce also started his own studio and has been engineering, producing, and playing on local Chicago recordings for the last 30 years.

many acetates have b-sides. anyways, your record would only be worth something if it was an alternate version / mix
