    I've seem promos of this much more frequently than stock. the first year I was doing my radio show someone called me up and asked me if I had a song that went like "get hip to yourself" (he sang the melody). it was crazy that this chicago dude was remembering the probably 2 plays of this random LA record on the radio. Actually lots of people remember hearing a super obscure song once and get excited when they hear it on my show and call up, being like "I remember that and have been looking for 40 years."

    This is a sticky issue but pretty much everyone (including a music book publisher I know) considers them fair use. Keith Rylatt did license from the photographers for his book though.

    It's definitely the same person. Not only does he say so in the interview (although he does get some random facts wrong), but the Jonz record is on Barry Despenza's Dispo label, is written by Barry Despenza and guitarist Gregory Washington, and recorded in the Chicago suburbs. Sometimes there are two artists with similar names working in the same city (in chicago there were two Singing Sams and two Maurice Jacksons) but I'm pretty sure there was just one Bobby Jones. Plus again the expo dude remembers those specific songs.

    soul harmony singles has been in limbo for a year but hopefully moving ahead to publishing soon (e.g. Jeff finalizing the layout in quark). It's never ending though because every single day new information or previously unknown records come out, it's not like there's some point of stasis where stuff gradually slows down and no new info comes out. the new book is at least twice the size as the last one. it just has to be cut off at some point and published.

    Hi. Moved to "look in your box" which is focused on record related questions and everything involving getting or manipulating records... Thanks for posting! Thanks.

    nice playlist
  8. boba
    Nice mix, never heard that herman hitson before, one for the want list.

    The only thing artists did get paid for WAS session work. They didn't get paid for their recording (someone kept the money along the chain, claiming an advance wasn't recouped). The Andantes weren't songwriters. Everyone I talked to *loved* to do session work because they got paid and they got paid right there.

    I finally finished my new sales list focusing on obscure psychedelic funk records. It's email only, if you aren't on it and want to subscribe, you can go to https://eepurl.com/lP-S9 to sign up. Even if you got no money for or no interest in buying the records, I have full high quality mp3s in the list so you can just download stuff to listen to if you want. You can also unsubscribe yourself at any time. The list is going out today at 12PM CST. No false promises about this, it's actually done and scheduled and will be automatically sent out even if I disappear. Thanks.

    also in chicago it always turns up beat up and even slightly beat it plays poorly and is unplayable

    vaguely related to detroit, the kack record "welcome back a foolish man" steals the backing track from a ruby andrews "you can't run". But it's not the same recording, the producer entirely copied the backing track and reproduced it, sort of like dr dre replaying stuff on his productions.
  13. boba
    or just not remembering one (in this case one of a bazillion) of the things they sang backup on

    I think you're right, I just pulled out both records and I had the labels confused.
  15. boba
    I could see it going for that. It's an under the radar item and there isn't a huge demand / rush for it. Stuff like that tends to go cheap on ebay.

    I think the conowil version has no backing group.

    I don't know a bobby jones LP on cobblestone but I don't know a lot about rare LPs. Link?
  18. boba
    what is the album referred to in the first post? I don't know of one. currently this and "welcome back a foolish man" on kack are sort of in demand.

    the garrison production is definitely detroit and rix quoted one of the andantes saying it was the andantes backing another singer. the pentagon group is a white teen group that had nothing to do with any of the other groups in the thread.
  20. boba
    yes, and there are some more soul groups not yet mentioned in this thread named the "honey bees" but mentioning them doesn't help to clarify anything as they are not related.

    The voice of the lead sounds like a combination of Barbara Lewis and Ruby Andrews (not suggesting it's either of these two, I don't recognize the sound at all).
  22. boba
    Listened to the whole mix, thanks for posting, interesting to hear a mix of a whole different style of slow records (deep soul) than I collect.
  23. boba
    I got mine mint from a dollar bin 15 years ago. I always play "you're the one for me bobby" on my birthday even though I know it's about Bobby Rogers.

    I'm guessing you'd make up the 9 pounds for hosting space or whatever via not having broken soundfiles at certain points in time, resulting in lower bidding. You also are buying the security of uptime and not having to scramble to switch back and forth between different solutions.

    also, just to point it out, candace love also does "never in a million years" on the chicago aquarius label produced by the brothers of soul
