i'll try to get a scan

Most people don't know this, but Angelo was a member of the majjesttees on mutt, who were also an excellent group that cut a great 45.

33 is supposedly the o'jays christmas 45, but with a different flip than the previous neptune release (20): Christmas just ain't christmas / Just can't get enough

32 is Indigos - I really mean it / Keep our love in the sunshine I have not seen it but know someone who says he has it.

three shades of soul is a nice version of the artistics / chilites with a temptations cover on the flip, if people don't know it

I have the LP on Neptune, it's all 5th dimension-style pop soul with no really good tracks in my opinion.

The exact same recording came out on checker, it's a good song, but a total copy of mary wells "you beat me to the bunch."

McGregor was definitely NOT in the classics on yan-g and he remembers little about them. The classics were a high school group, went to englewood high school. McGregor is much older, he was in a group in the 50s and early 60s. His group was the Antennas on Clay, who are also exactly the same group as Shirley and the Squires on Constellation and who are the backing group of Perk Lee on Boss, but somehow are NOT the Squires on Boss (I think the label did something funny...). The Squires also included George McGregor, not the detroit George (who was Billy's cousin), but Billy's brother George (who had a record on Twinight backed by the Bronzettes). Billy went solo after writing "mr. shy", which was originally supposed to be a ruby andrews song, but Don Clay asked him to sing it himself. I'm still badly looking for a copy of shirley and the squires on constellation, or even a recording, to give to the group members. Thanks.

"one dance" and "oh baby" are exactly the same song but there's no connection between the two groups (except that they are both southside of Chicago). Billy McGregor wrote it, and Gerald Dickerson of the creations confirmed that Billy should have had writing credit on the creations 45 even though he doesn't.

Current offer $460, will end this this saturday. I tried to scan the scratch but couldn't get the vinyl part to be not solid black in my scanner. Here is a soundclip of the entire side: majorharris.mp3

what's the title of the flip of "share my love"?

FYI, the glories do a version of it on their very last date 45. On they same record they also do a version of "don't make the good girls go bad"

I can't believe no one's bought the linda griner

Hey Dave, flip of the classics Twistin '62 is called "elmo", and the 316 title is listed in the soul harmony singles book as "noah's ark / the wheel of love". I used to see the twistin '62 record around sometimes, but don't think I've seen the other title, so I can't confirm the titles on the other one, but it seems to match your listing.

Hey Dave, I've been talking to one of the para-monts (Chicago group) and they remember singing "ronnie papa doo wow", the woman I've been talking too sang it for me and it sounded exactly like the antoinettes song. She said that they sang it behind a "caucasian" artist but can't remember the record but say it was released. I still have to play her the antoinettes version, but if it isn't them, there's at least another version of the same song. She said the antoinettes name sounded familiar (she doesn't remember many details now). Anyone know ANOTHER version of the song?

I posted in another thread, but with no image, here's an image of both sides. I have a styrene copy of major harris "call me tomorrow" on okeh for offers. It is an ISSUE with a PROMO STICKER on it. A-side label has very slight dirt on it, as visible in picture, possibly cleanable. Styrene is somewhere in between VG+ and VG++ US grade. Call me tomorrow has a light diagonal surface scratch/scuff near the runout, it's diagonal and a little less than an inch long, it's not feelable and does not affect play, some might call it a scuff and not a scratch, but I have to note it, and I would call it a surface scratch. This is the only thing that takes it down from VG++, otherwise it's nice and very shiny. I'm in the US, my ebay user id is boba. (the period is part of the name) if you want to check my feedback as a reference. Make me an offer, I won't be offended by a lowball offer (I might say no, though, as this is a pretty nice copy). I'll consider group soul trades (northern or ballads), but it would have to be a better trade for me to consider it, OR one of my following wants: compacts on carla, ledgends "fool in love" on red balloon, five wagers on toi, fads on temp-o, fabulous filtrations on d-clef. PM me with offers, I'll have this up for a few days. Here are the very large scans:

I had been looking for this for a very long time, it started finally coming through ebay recently even though I had not seen it for years before. I just won one for $120 but it usually goes $150-$200 and is still pretty unknown. Also, there was one on soul spinner fairly recently.

I use this in-between thing, it's called VG++. Although some sellers don't use it, it's much more common for US graders to have a VG++ grading than not.

haha, I like how the record now has 3 different labels. Like one must be the "C" side.

Are you guys saying that he doctored a photo to get the white demo side? The letters are all crooked in the prophets title on the demo side, but none of the other letters are crooked on either side, so I guess that supports your theory. He's clearly taking a picture of a real record, though, so at least it has to be pasted on a real label (if it is fake).

If anyone missed it, I have a major harris "call me tomorrow" on okeh to sell. Styrene is clean, somewhere in between VG+ and VG++ (US grading, no 'EX' grade), only a few marks. "call me tomorrow" has a "for demonstration use only not for sale" sticker on it and a tiny bit of dirt on the label. PM me with offers. This is a nice copy. Thanks.

yeah, I read that thread I started on soulfuldetroit also! I found out a little more info about the group since then, forwarded it to Dave for his article, I'm still looking to find them to do an interview, also if anyone has a copy for sale, please email / pm me...

I've been trying to figure out if they're also the kiddie group on music merchant (I think they are, but I'm not sure). Any ideas?

flip is also a nice updated 70s version of "get yourself together"

what is the soul sisters version on? Surely you're not talking about the sue group? I'm intrigued...
