I just looked at the Calla 45 and 20th century 45s. No common names but both are new york productions. One is produced by Dave Appell (Tokens). I wonder if there's any connection to the Love Potion on Kapp that he produced a couple years later.

I have an extra uptite copy, but have no idea what the value on this is. Anyone have any input on this?

does anyone know if the second bean brothers on Davida ("I'm glad that I'm me") came out on 45? I think it was 12" only but I'm not sure, would love to see a 45 scan if it exists. I have a cool lyrics insert for the first bean brothers davida 45.

I'm not sure what the record in question is but it's always weird to me when people post questions like "how much for tavares on capitol"? i guess people on the scene know what they mean...

I didn't know it before seeing the auction, FWIW, but it made it sound like modern dudes did

I will fix a skip under a scope for $20 if you want me to. No chance of styrene burn, it's a deterministic process, and can fix even almost-impossible-to-fix parallel to the groove scratches and gouges.

Tom Noble just sold it on ebay, the text made it sound like people knew about it

There is a decent (White) soul 45 by Benny Troy and the Maze on 20th century from '68. That pic sleeve is small, can anyone tell if one of the dudes looks like a younger Benny Troy?

there are 3 different maxidynes 45s on shell and one of the sides was baby al and the capps on silver fox (as chalky notes).

I would say $100-$150 for a white label copy. A stock copy is more a collectors difference than anything else.

that's the "sebastian effect". I would have bid more than $50 to get a stock copy. I recently got the rare green label stock copy of billy and the hiliners, was psyched (and no, there is no purple label copy, and the green label is an original). I have two copies with different label designs of the Deboniers, both are on white labels though.

I only saw yours, missed the one yesterday.

It's not super rare on white ORR, but the stock copy that was just on ebay was the first time I've seen yellow and green. Orr and Airplay were the same label. The label was owned by both Robert Orr and Robert Pairs.

I'm bumping this thread because this was never resolved and is still a weird mystery. Sharon Soul can't be both Black and White at the same time. I think there are two possibilities here: 1. Sharon Soul is not Susan Phillips (I'm not that confident in Castle liner notes). It's possible Sharon Soul might not even be Sharon Sieger, as BMI records are wrong more often than I previously thought, but I think she probably is as "Sharon Soul" is mostly likely a pseudonym. 2. Sharon Soul, Susan Phillips, and Sharon Sieger are the same person and All Platinum used a photo of an unrelated African American woman on the Susan Phillips LP cover (sort of the inverse of what happened on 50s doowop LP covers marketed toward White audiences). Anybody have any further opinion about the two? I would have definitely said #1 as it seems more plausible than #2, but , listening to the records, Sharon Soul sounds White and Susan Phillips sounds like she might be White. Also, to further complicate things, All Platinum really didn't care that much about proper artist credit -- for example, the Val Martin 45 is clearly Donnie Elbert on the A-side but if you get a stock copy, it's a recording of someone else on the flip. One more thing. I'm pretty sure Susan Phillips on All Platinum 2328 ("just how long") does come as a rare stock copy with the flipside, does anyone have it? I think the flip is "he's gone" but I'm not sure.

Hi. Looking for a clean copy of the Brothers of Soul "Hurry don't linger" on Boo 1001 (not 1004). Please PM with price and condition. Thanks a lot.

mir-a-don is the first press. they left the artist name off the record and it's stamped on the sleeve (assuming you get it with the original sleeve). get it on MBS, it's cheaper and easier to find. they have 3 other records on mir-a-don.

A few cool basement videos on it:

I buy off of visual grade and that's more standard given that all the grading standards explicitly list visual guidelines. If you are going to grade aurally, make sure you at least explicitly state it and state what your grading standard is.

100% memphis. same label as the Fortes on Current and the names on the record were behind some other memphis stuff.

Hi Ian. I don't understand what information you're quoting me proving it's Major Harris. Not saying it's not, just saying I don't understand what information you're giving me. Thanks.

Thanks I specifically was asking whether a record was in demand by rock collectors, I know stemmons is a "northern soul" record but I'm not sure it's not a rock record. I guess not. I didn't know there were two heavy doowop records, I only knew the jokers. What prompted my post was that I got the gentlemen four and it has mild styrene distortion which annoys me, was hoping it was possible to get it on vinyl but I seriously doubt it.

The major harris thing doesn't fit into the chronology of his career. I think he was still in the delfonics at the time and then he was solo in '74. The "nickel shoe" publishing is interesting though., I compared voices and can't rule in or rule out either. why are you so convinced, just by the voice?

also, isn't there a super expensive doowop 45? steve, do you have that?

Thanks. I think I got the moving sidewalks for cheap. And I think there are expensive "rock" records (e.g. is Stemmons Express soul?) but not expensive to rock collectors. Was just wondering if there was some heavy title that is known in general as a rock collectible. Interesting that they put out things like the kingsmen but there's literally not one collectible rock title.
