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.

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)

Auditions is $18 at craig moerer

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

Hi. I'm sorry about your experience with the audience. I'm interested to hear about the different performers of the show though, was everyone good, can you describe how each performer was, the highlights, who still has it, who doesn't, etc.? Some people I've seen are fantastic (like Renaldo Domino) and others aren't in as good form. Thanks a lot.

in chicago the persuasions 45 is what shows up, "summer ride" was a hit. however, people like terry gesten have had actual stock of the lock 45. not sure where that leaves the question of "which is rarer".

I agree with Steve, the type of stuff that Clifton sold / appealed to was a small set of hardcore fans, who even did things like make new doowop records themselves and who favored a lot of White sounding things. The equivalent would be if soul music was only collected by a small set of people who were into the pop / soul played at a particular northern venue and nobody else collected soul music. There are so many scenes and different sets of collectors (including ones who are now branching into the doowop era) that I'm not seeing it dying anytime soon. It might eventually die, but not the way doowop is.

It has not been booted. The green label is a much much rarer original, non-promo. Some ahole started that rumor to piss off someone who had an original stock copy

yes, and they are 2 of the 4 of billy and the hiliners. The link was broken, I just fixed it in case anyone tried to listen and had a problem. This is the correct link: https://www.sittinginthepark.com/interviews/inspirations-1-2-3-2013.mp3?

Hi. Today I did part 1 of an interview of an interesting singer / songwriter who was in a lot of different groups, most of them Milwaukee-based. Billy Miller was part of the Inspirations on Galaxie / Midas, Billy and the Hi-liners, the Soulful Twins (aka Billy and Betty), Brethren, and a few more groups. Billy has an interesting story that is long enough to cover two different radio shows. You can listen to part 1 here: https://www.sittinginthepark.com/interviews/delvettes-4-1-2012.mp3? I will be doing part 2 next week. Check out my other soul group interviews at: https://www.sittinginthepark.com/interviews.html thanks for your interest, Bob

Why does everyone keep saying barbara acklin was a member? I doubt it and I think it's just speculation. Does anyone have any real evidence? One went under the radar on ebay maybe 6 years ago for about $100 (maybe even less), I didn't even see it and Butch won it. I was so pissed.

It has to be the spoilers first now that the persuasions are not the spoilers. They must have reused the track as a b-side.
