I think I have one for sale or trade I can dig out if you or someone else is interested. Don't know the current value though. Thanks.

I don't know the value now because I don't collect LPs, but I think this was reissued on I think a soul brother LP a while back. This is actually Chicago-connected -- this is the band of Danny Leake, who among other things wrote for the madhatter label. This was his band when he was stationed overseas in the UK.

It's strange that one of the best albums to come out of detroit came out of chicago

I think Dave Thorley had it on ebay with no bids, you could try him.

One of the later (but still 60s US) pressings of under the streetlamp has a mention of the new pittsburgh ownership of gemini (which happened near the end of the label's existence), I saw that variation only once.

Some guy did have a bunch of them but I think he still got around $500 for all of them. Anyone got a soundclip of this? I always ignored it because I thought it was a funk record but I heard there were group vocals on this at least. Thanks.

This clip blows my mind for many reasons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVQraN6sU4M...feature=related

Hi. Can someone give me an email address for Paul Mooney? I had one and I lost it. An artist in Chicago wants to contact him and I want to pass on the info. Thanks in advance.

Scott, this is the only record on the label that I know of, and I've known this record for a while and seen it a bunch of times, this record is known to doowop collectors. The group has a very rare record just as the Allusions on Ra-bra. The ra-bra record has a funky temptations sort of sound, but it's just okay. I heard the producer, Twig Crockett, is dead, but I'd like to hear otherwise.

Thanks, Karl answered my question, the Strutt 45s I was looking at were really by the sly slick and wicked under a different name. Still obscure though, I don't remember ever seeing those. Anyone know these titles that I don't recognize that are also on Nobby's 'wants' list? Thanks: THE TORNADOS/LOVE IN YOUR LIFE (BUMBLE BEE) BLACKROCK EDUCATORS/GIVE INTO LOVE (COHEN) CAVIAR/JEANIE (SURVIVOR) COMMAND PERFORMANCE/I STILL LOVE YOU (WORLD CLASS) PETE COOKE & THE BABY DOLLS/HOME ON THE RANGE (LOGO) JACK SASS BAND/SAVE MY LIFE (ZEBRA) MAGIC/I'M LOVING YOU (NORTH SIDE) NEXT IN LINE/TRASH CAN OF MY MEMORY (MARKUP) RASHAAD/LOVE ME SLOW (MAGIC CITY) THE WALLER FAMILY/I BELIEVE IN YOU (MCA)

thanks for the info. There are like at least 6-10 other random 'what the hell is that' things on his wants page that I would like to figure out. Thanks.

Their other gamble record 'mink and sable mable' is actually very hard to find and is a very nice early 70s uptempo cut.

The fake question is pretty amusing, but to someone who has absolutely no idea about the market (e.g. he doesn't even seem to know that, for example, that buyers are interested in 'soul music' rather than 'promos'), I can't imagine how he would have any other way to conceptualize what people might want except that they are 'sleepers'. He probably did sell a record for a lot (although maybe not for $3000) and it just blew his mind.

I know about this group (Strutt)'s brunwick LP. However, I was looking at a japanese want list on the web which was all 45s and there were two random 'strutt' things. Does this group have any 45s? If not, do they have some other LPs? Thanks.

Is the seller on here? I don't understand how any US seller could say stuff like that. Personally I could only tell you what spins are massive in my apartment, it's amusing for me to read the DJ threads here but I would never have the balls to use that info in an auction without really knowing anything about it.

I would be surprised about boots also. Who in the US would bootleg it and if they did, wouldn't they have started appearing? who presses a run of records just to sit in them and try to pawn them off onto british people when they come into town? Doesn't seem very profitable. Also, it would be a strange choice of a record to bootleg

what's up Karl, I saw you downtown on Wells when I was driving to work a few weeks ago, I was already super late (it was like 9:30am) so I assume you were late too...

by 'sampling' the delfonics, are you talking about him just rapping over the entire original song 'la la la la la la means I love you' without editing it at all? funny, but not sampling.

I don't know the 'my salvation' track, but I will tell you that there's more than one Robert Thomas. The two I know are the guy from Chicago, who is also Bobby Thomas, who recorded for Hawk and Big City and who was a member of Channel 3 and the Notations. There is also an atlanta Robert Thomas, who recorded records on lyndell among others. I don't know if there might be another from the texas area, which is where Soft is from. Thanks.

it's actually a boot for the jamaican scene (at least the one I know), the label is slightly whiter and the font crisper than the regular press

Hi Rod. I think Brad is sometimes slow to respond to email and sometimes tours out of town with his band. I had bought that louis curry he posted up here when he posted here and got it quickly. He's very honest, though, I'm sure he'll refund your money if he did send it and you didn't get it.

there is a picture of the (White) guys today from a reunion show they did on dcsoulrecordings.com

That's the seller who was selling 45s for the Gary, IN seller that ripped someone off on here on the seven souls. That seven souls they just sold is the same one that someone on here paid for already like a couple of years ago and never received (I forget the user now).

'watch your step' was a big hit in Chicago. I have an unreleased acetate of Channel 3 doing "the lively ones".
