I agree with you that people (not always correctly) assume that the rarer release is the first. But also, the previous number on the label also came out only on red text.

I actually don't know either version but searching on allmusic.com reveals that Van McCoy has a version on his own LP "the disco kid" from 1975. I hope that is the version you were thinking of.

it usually comes up beat up on ebay when it does comes up

it's strange how, depending on what's been imported to the uk, people have different perspectives. I guess like any record it's dried up now so the past doesn't matter anymore, but this used to be the only bronco title I would ever see, other than the versatiles, which I would see much less frequently.

i collect sweet soul, this seems like as good a forum as any, what are the other ones you want identified?

a US seller had one for much cheaper here a few months ago, they even bumped it as no one was responding.

the bronco record is pretty common, probably the most common title on the label.

evidence that red is first is that the PREVIOUS butlers record on Phila (it's jean wells backed by the butlers and charles earland, it's one number earlier) is red print.

that's also a new one on me, plus the youtube comments are also pretty funny

it totally blows my mind that california sweet soul bootleggers managed to somehow get a track from a british indie rock band from this decade.

i thought this thread would be about a mazda

the original label is demorris

the only real euro-pop-soul disco Chicago records I know about are the thunderfunk symphony records. What's funny is that a lot of real music people were a member of that group too, dianne cunningham was even a member.

This is a Chicago group, exactly the same band as the brothers of the ghetto who did that funk track rockin chair on ghetto. One of the members was later in loveship.

i've seen reservice on a lot of columbia / PIR records, I think it's when they press more copies at the time to further promote the record. I don't think it makes it a 'reissue' any more than any other label variation, etc., from the time of the original press, as at least one of the variations had to happen after a previous one.

isn't whispers - planets of life - soul clock a zodiac song?

at least it was cheap. I buy so many records on ebay and have to deal with so many shady sellers that I write off records like that and don't even leave negative feedback since if I get blocked, the seller is sure to have like my biggest want the next day. There's so many horrible sellers that it's often not if they are shady, but how shady they are, that determines whether I will deal with them and for what records and for how much.

teddie morrow - what's your sign (seibu) is a really nice sweet soul record loaded with astrology

these are high prices overall, i thought the results were tranding toward more reasonable, not this week.

i pm'ed you in case you didn't get it.

soul zodiac is an all-time classic psychedelic soul jazz LP, it's pretty excellent, like out spiritual jazz with weird zodiac spoken word over it.

Marc, I'm wasn't commenting on your case specifically (it is less clear cut than other ones I've seen here), please don't take this personally, I'm actually not sure what you morally should have done in this case. However, I do think you didn't fairly depict the entire story, based on what he said his actual comments were here. Also, if you had just taken it back initially he would have sent it back and you wouldn't have had the paypal claim to deal with later though. It did work out for both of you in this case also by you going public, but in general I still don't think it's productive.

I think it rarely stimulates people to discuss and reach a positive outcome. I have seen some nasty ones on here where sellers have told very one sided stories, preemptively badmouthing buyers just because they don't want to take a record back. Whenever I sell anything I will always take it back if the person isn't satisfied -- there's always someone who's a more conservative grader than you, for example, and coming online and accusing them of trying to switch out the record or something before you've even gotten it is just nasty and reflects poorly on you as a seller. I'm speaking in general terms, not referring to anyone specific here (please don't get offended anyone), but it usually comes off as very nasty and unhelpful. If you're a seller and you get your record back and refund the buyer, at worst you're just out postage and have to resell the record. If you're a buyer and get screwed, you're out a lot of money and are potentially stuck with a record that is worthless to you. I've had people send things back to me or even ask for discounts (sometimes warrantless) and I always agreed -- and I've even later seen the same people overgrade records (selling to me!) or resell the same record they asked for a discount on for much more ... it still didn't hurt me that much to comply. Unless it is a real situation where something has done something really and clearly bad / illegal (e.g. fraud), it usually doesn't accomplish much to come on here and badmouth people.

I have white label promos of some of the titles, plus a weird one of windy city "good guys don't always win" where the b-side label is blank with the titles hand written.
