  1. what's so awesome is that i went to google and typed in belita woods and it auto-completed "foolish girl" meaning that many other people have been typing that into google
  2. vaguely related, here's a weird quinvy production (tony borders on uni), if you're interested in collecting related things: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=250305140055
  3. i like john cage better than john cale anyways so it's all good
  4. i hope this post is a joke ...
  5. you know this is curtis johnson's (of the Astors) group from Memphis, members of the group were later the CQCs on Funk Factory / QCA. A bio is here: https://www.curtisj.com/BroUnltd.htm
  6. I sent it to him like at least a month ago or more, I will send it to you tonight. peace.
  7. if it's a modern track, it might monofide - time will change your mind on emvee. That is detroit. It's not female backing vocals, though, it's guys singing falsetto.
  8. His prices on something like a random atlantic 45 are based on people buying them as collection fillers, etc., as most random atlantic 45s should probably really be $1 but nothing on his site is $1. You can still find some sellers on Gemm as a better source for things like that. It's fair game for him to do that, though, he has enough stock that he can price stuff at a premium and still make money off of people looking for a specific item (rather than just generally buying). I did actually have a bad experience recently, I saw he had ocie iii on CIM with the flip on his website for like $20. I had never seen it with the flip before and I bought it as a random chicago title. He emails me saying they can't find it. 6 months later it shows up on their auction. That was pretty lame I thought. I didn't know it would go for $500 either, I just bought it (or at least tried to buy it) because I hadn't seen it before. Did they really lose it and then find it later and just decide to auction it? Also, the person doing their auctions is very unknowledgable and lists total garbage, misinformation, the wrong sides (or has audio clips only of the bad sides, or the audio clip cuts off before the chorus and you can't tell if there's a group), etc. At this point they seem to have built up a following of people specifically looking for the types of things they auction (e.g. "boogie" records, etc.), but I think they alienate a lot of real collectors with their listings, and it's always amusing when there are common records or just terrible records listed that get no bids. They had a bootleg of linda jones 'hypnotized' up recently with a different artist on the flip, description was something like 'rare one for her', I emailed them saying that it was a bootleg and they took it down. How could anyone who knows anything about soul music think that hynotized is the 'rare' record by linda jones?
  9. Is the fads on blue rock definitely unreleased? I found one of the group members and he doesn't remember much (I don't think he even remembered being on mercury, although he remembers the songs and his name is in the writing credits) and I just want to confirm that it also wasn't on blue rock. Thanks.
  10. the chancellors on chamus at least sounds like they were trying to be a soul group, the main change 45 doesn't sound like they even were attempting to be soul
  11. unless you were very wealthy, it would be too expensive to buy like random atlantic from him on the 'classic' labels, you would probably have to hit someone who had dead stock of titles nobody cared about or hit record shows or buy bulk lots, etc., and then you could use moorer to fill in holes.
  12. Craig Moorer's prices have steadily been increasing also which is annoying. It used to be high only on known big ticket items but you could get oddities relatively cheap. Over the last two years even those have gone away. The last thing I regret not buying from him was the magicians "love lets try it again" for $150, I was like "I need that but I'll get it cheaper if it ever comes up on ebay", the next week it finally hits ebay and goes for $500.
  13. the bacon fat group is actually the tymes. It was long rumored to be the tymes and on soulfuldetroit one of the tymes members recently confirmed it. the 20th century group is from chicago. I don't know where the fraternity or ballad group is from.
  14. you're not gonna get the differences on a limited budget. you could get the other ones though.
  15. I'm pretty sure I sent this to richard already, I can send it to you if you want.
  16. also 5 miles high on chess I think
  17. just email them, it takes about a day but they always respond. The one time they missed my payment it was also via paypal (you can also pay them directly via credit card if you want).
  18. did you get the shipping confirmation email? They always send a shipping email saying when it was shipped. If not, they may have not noticed your payment, that happened to me once and I had to email them. I have ordered from them probably 50-100 times though and not gotten anything lost. They are also a big warehouse with multiple employees, it usually takes them a few days to ship after their order, but they always send the confirmation email.
  19. i love wylie's photo on the cover
  20. it is the same Keni Lewis, he was a DC guy as Steve G states, he was in some other groups too I think (I have to check my notes). He did a lot of writing and production. The only chicago connection I can think of is that I think he may have been one of the writers on gene chandler's mr. big shot (I will check when I get home). The epsilons are DC, it's suprising someone found that in Chicago, I have never found any shrine 45 in Chicago, I think they show up in detroit and some other places where they promoted, but finding even a more common shrine 45 in chicago is rare.
  21. there's a photo of the group in the prix compilation my friend's label put out -- George I can probably get you a scan if you need it
  22. I've seen bill watts go cheap once on ebay too. There wasn't an audio clip though. Is there a good side, isn't it blues? Either way, also, not a 'known' record so that doesn't mean anything if there is a good side, e.g. it could be expensive if known. Bill Watts was one of the many chicago artists on AMG I think, I have a record by him on a weird local chicago label also.
  23. that underground resurrection that was just on ebay had the pink design by the way, I don't remember what color the one Sebastian won was.
  24. I used to see the eddie simpson for sale all the time, I thought it was the only AMG title that was actually distributed. The whole deal with AMG was that you would pay the guy to press it and supposedly promote it but he did nothing with it. I actually have eddie simpson with two different label designs, a pinkish one (promo) and the more regular colored one. I don't think any other AMG title exists two different ways. Either way, like any other record, it's rare now I guess.
  25. I bought the bill watts on gemm for almost nothing recently. The eddie simpson is one of the most common AMG titles but it is actually pretty good so it's worth a little more, I remember it was actually on ebay recently, maybe sebastian even sold it?
