Bought tons of records from him. I think he was second cousins with Chuck Corby. RIP.

I played it on my radio show last august if you want to hear it in full.

Looking to collect stock ("issue") copies of these IX Chains label 45s: 402 - Pride, Passion & Pain 7013 - Organization please pm if you have either for sale. thanks in advance.

Thanks. The olympics have one more good sweet soul 45 (as far as I know, I guess I could have missed one but I don't think so), "girl you're my kind of people" on WB, worth finding.

I want to buy a copy this dutch 45. Must have pic sleeve, but sleeve doesn't have to be mint. Please PM. There was a copy sitting on ebay for a while BIN for $60 but I didn't see it until it was too late. One just ended on auction for $30. Would pay $75-$100 depending on condition of sleeve / record. Thank you.

The magic eraser sponge will scrape off the label, I was speaking from experience. Alcohol will also eat the label. However, I definitely think it's worth people trying for themselves on throwaway records to see how fragile the label is.

by "take off" I mean lightly fade btw

mr clean magic eraser is bleach based and very strong and will just take off the paper entirely. tack or flexible art erasers tend to tear the paper. dave's advice is good for ringwear but you have to use it lightly as you will tend to take off parts of the label text that it goes over.

my friend found a copy and sold it to me

no, i had a recording forever, finally got a copy. i don't play records i don't own (mainly because i don't need more competition) but I did play "getting mighty close" off a recording for a MLK / social consciousness show.

Thanks. Although on a Chicago label, I'm like 99% sure that the Delon Washington is exactly the same Milwaukee group as the Enchanters on Tee Pee.

"wait till i get to know you" was a hit

They are just label variations, not bootlegs.

part 2 is online now: https://www.sittinginthepark.com/interviews/inspirations-2-2-10-2013.mp3? thanks, Bob

Hi. My friend is trying to get the final materials together for a Mad Lads documentary, and he's looking for any Mad Lads related candid photos or memorabilia. He needs everything together before Wednesday. If you have anything to offer, please email him at bodiddleyman@gmail.com. Thanks for your help.

thanks, fyi, the whole darn family is a remake of the lead singer tyrone thomas' previous recording as little tommy on sound of soul

this is good

I actually assumed it was the same copy being relisted given what looks like the same copy of King Edward and his BDs being relisted.

the traits are the backing group on this btw

green is much rarer, and is the stock copy. i saw someone post some BS about the originals being purple, there are no purple copies.

SWEETS, THE (fg) (Richmond, CA) Sisters Felice, Darlene and Norma Taylor. Valiant 711 Mama Saw Me / The Richest Girl (3/65) Soultown 105 Satisfy Me Baby / Something About My Baby (66)

Still looking for this hard-to-find stock copy. Thanks in advance.
