also, I actually don't know which release was first, prism or adanti

Jan Bradley actually wrote a bunch of stuff for Prism (e.g. her name is on the pepi record too). To my ears the record sounds exactly like her. I always assumed that the chess recording was the same but it is different if I compare back to back. It is rare, but she also re-released the paulette and the cupids as "paulette" on her own label: Anyways, I talked to her a couple of times but never specifically asked her about this (which is why I said 99% sure, as I never heard it from her mouth), I will try to call her today and post back.

sorry, I don't know much about boots. I have never seen a black label on any met 45 (always gold) but I never find this title so I don't know

didn't it come out on two labels (MET and PS)? you didn't say which one of the two you are referring to. Anyways, the MET is gold and the PS is blue.

I am 99% sure that Paulette and the Cupids on Prism is Jan Bradley. It is not the same Paulette as Paulette on Contact as far as I know. Is there some specific reason you are saying it is the same person besides the name "Paulette"?

When I'm negotiating to get the price down of a record, I also usually use the phrase, "Collectable though, and is only going to rise in value"

How do you know his dad was Black? OH SNAP, YOU GOT SERVED Seriously, though, it was interesting to find out. Another good thread would be R&B / Rap artists who are related to soul people. For example, Otis Jackson's kid is Madlib, Fantasia Barrino is related to the Barrino Brothers, etc.

Is it a white group or a black group? can you post audio?

that's what mine looks like too actually

I would potentially sell this if it's worth dealing with, what is a current value? Thanks.

Hi. Today I did a phone interview with Harvey Scales, the first Milwaukee artist that I have talked to on my radio show. Harvey originally started signing in local vocal groups, and was in a group with Al Jarreau as well as a member of the Esquires. Harvey cut his first record, "The Clock", for Wisconsin's Cuca records -- he got a chance to record the record when he went to the studio with the Birdlegs group (who recorded their hit "Spring" in the same session); the band backs Harvey on his recording. Harvey soon joined The Seven Sounds, who were a self-contained band and vocal group. The group cut the excellent "Glamour Girl" for Cuca records in the mid-60s. After cutting one more record for Cuca, the group cut their hit two-sider "Get Down" / "Love-itis" for Milwaukee's Magic Touch records. Although the "Get Down" (a dance record) was the bigger hit, "Love-itis" also received play and became popular with a rock audience, and several groups, including the J. Geils band, remade the track. The group became a popular band on the Wisconsin college fraternity / Chicago bar rock circuit, playing for mainly White college audiences alongside such groups as Baby Huey and the Babysitters and Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts. The group had a string of dance-themed follow-up records (such as the Broadway Freeze and the Yolk); despite getting play on R&B radio, the group continued to perform for primarily White audiences. The group recorded on several other record labels including Chess, Stax, and Mercury. In 1976, Harvey was a co-writer (along with Detroit producer Don Davis) of Johnny Taylor's hit "Disco Lady", which became the first certified platinum record. The track was actually based on Harvey's previously released record "Groove on Sexy Lady". Through Davis, Harvey wrote many songs for other artists, including The Soul Children, the Dells, Dramatics, Tavares, and Billy Davis and Marilyn McCoo. He also wrote the music for the late-70s TV show Kaptain Kool and the Kongs. Harvey signed as a solo artist to Casablanca records, cutting two albums. Harvey's second Casablanca LP, actually a disco opera, included a drum break that has been sampled in several R&B and hiphop songs (including in Soul II Soul's hit "Back to Life"). Harvey still performs today and is appearing in the new Bernie Mac / Samuel Jackson film "Soul Men". He is also about to record an album in Memphis with Willie Mitchell and the Hi Rhythm.

I also think they sound similar but I never compared side by side. Maybe it is the same recording, I will pull them out when I get a chance. The enchanted five definitely aren't the same group as the topics though. The enchanted five was licensed into the new york CVS label, and the topics was new jersey, maybe something funny happened with the releases. The topics was also issued on brothers III without the "try a little love" side -- I don't know if that points to the track not being by topics or the enchanted five if it is the same recording.

the electras is CVS 1004. I don't know of any other numbers on the label. I agree with Sean about the rarity of the second enchanted five title, it took me a long time to get it. I like the "your love comes slower than never" side.

no, the other side says 1001.

my favorite chilites cuts: I'm so Jealous Pretty Girl You did that to me She's mine / never no more my baby loves me Give it away Love uprising Being in love Living in the footsteps of another man Stoned out of my mind You got to be the one Don't burn no bridges are you my woman

there are just two, CVS 1001 - have you ever / try a little love CVS 1003 - your loves comes slower than ever / darling I need you now The group is from ohio and had Donnie Scales who also had solo records and who was in the segments of time. People here keep saying that the group is the same as the ultimates on br-roma because apparently some japanese CD says so, but someone I know talked to two of the members and they didn't know anything about that so I think it isn't true.

three? you mean two right? Are there three?

by the way, I would be mad at both parties too if I were you, I was just saying that the seller is more in the wrong clearly as he had an actual agreement with you, the buyer is just sort of shady but didn't necessarily do anything very wrong. I don't know about people in the UK (you guys seem more normal actually), but most of the US record dealers I've met are the shadiest people on earth so I sort of expect that sort of backstabbing behavior.

you could invest it maybe

I know several doowop collectors that this has happened to and at least a couple cases of this in progress

didn't someone just post it as a want in the wants section also?

I think I got the president wrong (sorry, probably was just before nixon). It is just a bizarre and sort of not well written song, in my opinion (I don't really have a problem with other people liking it, the lyrics just make it bad for me). I don't actually disagree with the sentiment in the lyrics. I was just commenting that I have played other records that I thought were very good to northern collectors and got the response that they would have liked it if the lyrics were better. I played a political song once that was really good in my opinion and was told that the lyrics were too "twee". Another time I played the professors "little red riding hood" (which I think is a great record) and was told that because the lyrics talked about little red riding hood it was bad... that's just why I'm suprised about this one. To each his own I guess. "Young girl full of charm" is awesome sweet soul anyways. Also, I think I did find a copy for the original poster, if you answer my PM to you I will pursue it. Thanks.

I don't understand why people keep saying soulmine tarnished their reputation or did anything wrong. Soulmine did not have any sort of agreement with Pete. The seller did. The seller is the one who breached any deal. Maybe it was slightly shady, but the fact that soulmine managed to get the collection from under pete doesn't mean that they breached any agreement, etc. The seller is the one who should be badmouthed here.

this isn't the first time that craig moorer has sold it on ebay. I don't remember what it sold for the previous times, but it was under $100 I think. YOu might as well wait until this auction finishes. the ones he starts at a higher price are ones that he has previously sold.

I have never seen this sell for even close to $700-$800 on ebay, I can't imagine a sweet soul collector paying that. In my opinion the "stay off the moon" side is terrible, the song sounds ok but there are bizarre lyrics about how nixon needs to invest in the country instead of spending money sending people to the moon. It's hard to get past that for me. I've had songs with less stupid lyrics that I think are really good that I've played for northern collectors who got hung up on the lyrics, which makes it surprising that people want this. The sweet soul side is awesome, though.
