I think at least one of those tracks was written by Kenny Jones of the Flairs / Velvet. He had gone to LA and was a writer for smokey at that time, I think only one of his tracks was released but he named some more tracks and those sound familiar at least.
-
that is not an unreasonable price for an original of that LP
-
hues corporation "rock the boat" was a huge hit. too bad every other record they released (except maybe the first funky one on liberty) is terrible
-
The plates aren't the only issue, the vinyl and labels (including the paper for the labels) are also very hard to replicate. An expert could maybe do it but someone who produced one or two records isn't going to be an expert record counterfeiter or even understand the importance and detail involved in fooling collectors. We've had this argument before based on a discussion you had with Peter Brown. Even if you believe him, he's an expert at pressing and repressing records and understands the collecting market.

Made An Offer On A Record, Told To Buy A Reissue On Gemm
boba replied to Britmusicsoulfan's topic in Look At Your Box
there is no shortage of delusional sellers on ebay. -
it is very hard to press up the record now and have it look like it did in the '70s
-
This isn't a northern record, sweet soul people are looking for it. That said, I think it's mediocre sweet soul. It is rare. I think it was totally unknown until Joe Giattino got ahold of and sold a bunch of copies like 5-6 years ago, it wasn't expensive then, that must have been all the copies.
-
there is no US press on atlantic is there?
-
i've encountered several examples of records that supposedly skipped and were either trashed or repressed, according to the artists. I think that in some cases the grooves were not cut well (e.g. if you look under a microscope they come too close to each other at some points). On an older turntable with heavy tracking force the record would skip forward sometimes, but it is hard to reproduce on a modern turntable with regular tracking force.
-
if I'm understanding him correctly, Barry wasn't talking about the most expensive label to run the catalog of, he was saying that given one specific title, add up the selling price of all the copies and find the "most expensive" record that way. For example, if there are two copies of a record that sell for $20,000 each, that is less expensive than 1000 copies of a record that sell for $200 each.
-
I think the "set" provides the context for a record and a good record can sound crappy or a strange record can sound amazing in the right context. I don't understand how this context can be achieved if there's no continuity because the DJ goes on the mic and announces each song before it plays (which apparently happens at some northern DJ events?).
-
I know you're not being serious, but the purpose of the pressing is to replicate what looks like a 60s UK pressing; not to give the users the actual functionality of the self-dinkable centers.
-
I agree, these records were all sold in a short period of time for a lot of money so they appear to be overall very valuable in quantity, but 200 copies of a rare record doesn't compare to some records where there were clearly 1000s of copies around and now command real money.
-
I do know that when people turn up quantity of something they often try to hide the number of copies they have, but in this case we're talking about records that were everywhere, there would be no way to hold them back somehow. My addition would be the exits "under the street lamp." For some reason Just Loving You never turns up in Chicago but all the other Ruby Andrews 45s do.
-
ALthough I was being a smartass above, seriously, what cobblestone label 45 is the one in question here? I can think of at least two very rare northern records on the label. Thanks.

i posted the writers from US copyright docs above
-
this is the copyright entry which shows the writers. obviously they falsely claimed music / arrangement, or maybe it was copyrighted with some other music originally. LOVE POWER; w & arr. Scott McKay, m Tom Story. 2 p. © Sam Coplin, d.b.a. Sam Coplin Music; 19Jun68; EU59478.
-
that was one of the records he had stolen, I don't think he was able to replace it
-
you own a cobblestone?
-
i vaguely have some connection to you getting the little ceasar by telling the dude (who I talked to first) just to sell it to you. You should totally give me a shout out.
-
Thanks so much. It's much more obvious in real life that the font is not an original 60s/early 70s font. Thanks again.

I can't tell whether this is a serious post or not
-
a beat, poorly listed marva lee went for over $150 on ebay the other day: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Northern-Soul-45-Marva-Lee-If-You-Cant-Be-True-ATCO-HEAR-BOTH-SIDES-/170907817340?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item27cae6557c i think ever since the record was written up in "there's that beat" people have been looking for it and it doesn't turn up often
