I didn't know that was his ID either. What's funny is although you can't tell 100%, if you look at that willie and the mighty magnificents ebay photo, it sort of looks like it has heat damage -- e.g. the shininess and pitts that are in the vinyl.

the antennas is cheap. the buddy scott is a hard to find chicago record, but unfortunately i also can't help you out with a value.

i was responding to the comments about it not being fair that sellers can't leave negs. i agree the buyer is in the wrong, but at worst they were unreasonable and mean. However, they didn't LIE, threaten the seller, etc. Posting that experience (without giving names, ebay users, etc.) and complaining is a reasonable response. posting their name, ID, location, etc. is overly vindictive and unreasonable with respect to what actually happened and doesn't reflect well on the seller, IMO. Also, as long as the seller it airing their dirty laundry in public and linking to their actual feedback, I can also point out how they left negs in response to neutrals. All of this doesn't accomplish much for the seller.

yes, sweet soul collectors have always known about it as far as I know but I've seen some northern people start to bid on it (I don't know why, maybe just because tempos are slowing down people are broadening their interests???). I think you could get at least $150 for it but maybe more. that's what it's been going around on ebay recently, and it still doesn't come up for sale a lot (again, it used to be available, I guess it dried up). The type of record that might go up if it becomes more known, or might go down if people don't know and lose interest? it's a nice record.

I see you also left people negatives in response to their neutrals. That seems pretty nasty too. Why would you do that? A seller recently sold me an item which was very overgraded and lied about the sleeve being original in the description. I left them a positive saying so. They left me a NEGATIVE. Why would they do that unless they were a horrible, vindicitive person in the first place? It's good that sellers can't leave negatives any more, there is no point in that as it's not like anyone reads buyer feedback to evaluate whether they can bid, people only read seller feedback to evaluate the seller. Even if the buyer is in the wrong, negative feedback accomplishes little, it's not like a seller can automatically block a bidder that has some negatives, they will only block specific bidder that they had a bad experience with already. Sellers have the recourse of filing NPB strikes against buyers who don't pay. That can actually get them kicked off of ebay (unlike negative feedback for sellers). In this case you didn't deserve a negative, but a buyer can evaluate the comment and your response and see that you didn't deserve it. However, if you act nasty in response and leave mean followups and leave a nasty enough feedback to the buyer (and then are vindictive enough to publicly post about them in a forum), that doesn't really reflect well on you as a seller.

this was a cheap record but is starting to be known so it's now going for $100+. This was Ted Mills group before Blue Magic. Ted Mills sings lead on this.

thanks for posting this. what is the source of this (a master tape, a weird press, etc.)? Thanks.

if the guy was describing his girl as "hipper than me" it is probably the four andantes on modo. I don't know if that's what you are thinking about or not.

also, if I were to make a flyer, I would also steal an album cover or a photo (just like I did on my website), but that's because I'm not an artist ... I wouldn't want to be recognized for doing it.

I don't understand the point of featuring flyers where the reason that they are good is that they are jacking album covers or other originally great artwork. I understand why people make the flyers like that -- they look good -- but only because the original art looks good. I would be interested in seeing flyers where original design / art made them good. For example, there are lots of galleries of Rock music flyers and they look good becaues of the artists who made them, not because they stole a bunch of album covers.

attic records just had a white one on ebay. I tihnk the white one is real.

this is a fantastic record and relatively hard to find. someone should definitely buy this.

thanks a lot. I don't know much about 50s music so this is news to me. I'm usually sort of annoyed when people talk about obscure covers as the original version without knowing the original, I guess I was a victim of that in this case! Thanks.

I like "eddie my love" a lot, I never knew it was a cover, I appreciate you giving that info. There is another version by pat carroll on domain.

is that one of the many records that you once knew but now have forgotten?

I just played the bill and will, it's not the same song. Both tracks are similar themed though (about drowning in the river) and both are r&b-ish. The bill and will is more rock sounding than this cut. Gerald Sims band plays on the tony romance cut. Apparently tony romance has other records on the label but they are crooner-ish.

this must be selling based on dj play because I remember a few copies going through ebay cheap and then a trashed copy selling for a lot of money recently. even craig moorer's copy went for relatively cheap like a year ago and idiots who don't know anything else bid on the records he lists, bidding them way over the regular values.

I don't think so because tony romance has writing credits on the cut I'm talking about. I tihnk I have the bill and will (just because I collect chess / checker), I will pull it out when I get a chance.

we say slammin' they say slamming

i'm not flying to the UK to get it though...

I remember another rare sweet soul 45 -- jazzie cazzie and the 8 sounds on knaptown -- going for like 75 pounds recently on his auction

I'm both are probably legit, it is very common to have multiple runs of the same record with slightly different typesetting / layout on the label. I don't actually know enough about boots to tell you if this was booted though, so I guess it's possible.

Gregory Magee was a member of the Mystiques on Twinight and Raw Umber. His father Bobby Magee ran the label. Gregory died suddenly of cancer a few months ago, it was very sad, I was only able to interview Kevin Rowan of the Mystiques in my interview. https://www.sittinginthepark.com/interviews.html There is a good (earlier) northern 45 on the label by a singer named Tony Romance, it's called "Going to the River", it's actually very good but not known. The Raw Umber 45 on the label is okay but the remake of "love one another" by Greg Magee on the label is better than the Raw Umber version. I paid $150 for the specific record you have but it's probably not worth that much as I've seen it sell for less and I needed it for the label number. It is very rare though. Almost everything else on the label is sort of pop-ish and not good in my opinion. The label is from Chicago.

yeah, but I paid $900 for the el count executives and someone got it for 100 pounds on Manship! I know someone who paid $1000 for a beat up copy! It doesn't seem like the best place to sell sweet soul. From now on, everyone should just sell sweet soul to me directly...

flip of the record "back home again" is nice too
