Nice clip (and crazy suit) from the mid-70s psychedelic show Ebony Affair:

Yes, just saying that he clearly didn't understand what creates the value in the record collecting world given that he assumed his fake copies would be worth the same or that his fake copies would be indistinguishable from the originals.

I think that it's not fair to expect an artist from back in the day to understand the strange world of record valuation and collecting now. Moreover they are probably bitter that they are the real people who made the music yet random record dealers are making lots of money. That said, Jamal Davis and other artists and producers who do stuff like this aren't entirely innocent of any wrongdoing, as they are trying to exploit people and get money. It's just that they have no clue about the area they're trying to hustle in so they can't effectively exploit people.

Goo gone is made to remove adhesives. It looks like it stains the label but it evaporates after a few hours. It is more effective but sometimes harder to use than lighter fluid, which gums up rather than evaporating. Goo gone is also more noxious imo. When you remove a sticker there generally will be a sticker removal area that is darker. It doesn't relate to the solvent used. It relates to the fact that the whole rest of the label was exposed to wear / fading, etc. while the one area was protected by the sticker. Under the sticker is the more true original color of the label. There's no way to prevent this from happening by using a different solvent. Either way, a sticker removal stain looks way better than the sticker imo (assuming you didn't tear the label or anything like that) and if anything should increase the value, not decrease it.

a belt sander also works

don't know the second one

just to clarify, this is "karate boogaloo" (total alvin cash ripoff btw), not the original boogaloo 45 that came out on abc

don't get acetone on the actual vinyl or styrene though. so also don't use it to remove a sticker on the record itself.

if it's not too old such that it's totally crusted on, soak it in goo gone: https://googone.com/ i recently discovered a way to get the oldest, crustiest sticker off that no organic solvent will touch, but not giving that up yet...

you know the group has another 45 also right?

excellent mix, even a couple records I don't like sounded good in your mix. Never heard that frank eddie before, that was really nice. should I uncover your first cover up ...

I love how you just spent even more time insulting people who were trying to help you. Your original post was vague and when you asked for alternatives (which you did), someone gave you one, then you rudely responded saying they didn't meet your specific requirements (which were never stated in your original post)... and some of them did (e.g. were modular). Then you said you never asked for alternatives. You can't get straightforward answers because you can't ask a straightforward question and you're an asshole.

any word on the eldees?

this sure sounds like you're asking about other solutions: next time you post a question you should specifically say that you are going to be rude to the people trying to offer constructive suggestions and don't want a real response.

do you have the eldees? would love to see / hear it

good price on the mixed emotions. if anyone wants to trade the rarer cole label release for a '75 press mixed emotions hit me up, i still don't have it

I have a copy of the Vals on Ascot to sell if someone needs it. I only listened to about a third of the podcast so far, not going to post an opinion until I listen to the whole thing. I just am posting to say that the Nobles on Columbia are a later version of the Joneses on Mercury, it's the 3 Noble brothers plus one other member. The lead singer that Ian comments on is Reggie Noble (which is funny if you know anything about rap music ... it's not redman). It's a different lead than the Joneses because Glen Dorsey sang lead on the Joneses records.

they don't look that good, you'd probably have to add finish. don't know why they don't offer that.

There was always more stock of this around than the sophisticates, or at least stock available for a lot longer. I would agree with maybe 30 or 40 pounds. i think this probably will go up eventually.

No, I only based my comment on the fact that it really looks like the inter/soul label. Whenever I see a new york publisher I almost always assume it's a publishing company unrelated to the label. But I haven't seen this publisher before so it might be some tiny publisher owned by the label owner. The building at that address clearly isn't the building that was there when the record came out so it's hard to tell.

this specific copy was already discussed in that previous thread, and the seller described it. thanks though. i can't afford it anyways.

my copy is not cracked fwiw, i wouldn't pay more than a few dollars for a cracked record unless I just wanted to hear it. however, on ebay i see cracked records selling for a pretty large percentage of the non-cracked value.
