Wow, that RPM Records spot has been completely dry for years....Last hit I had there was maybe 4 years ago...found a nice mint Latin boogaloo thing and some oddball instrumentals and popcorn. Somebody should tell this poor guy he's wasting his time looking for big known northern there. Surprised even a beat-up $20 Carl Carlton record was still there....

One thing I don't think I've seen mentioned in discussions of the desirability/rarity of Palmer vs. La Beat and stock vs. promo is this: All La Beat copies, stock and promo, play with a weird thump/skip/glitch sound a couple of seconds into "I Am Nothing." Palmer copies do not. At first I thought it was just my La Beat stock copy. Then I listened to one on youtube and thought WAIT, DID THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS VIDEO OWN MY COPY PREVIOUSLY?? Then I poked around and found that, as i said above, all La Beat copies have this audio flaw. It can be heard at 0:05 in this video.

Tony Middleton, To the Ends of the Earth/Don't Ever Leave Me (M-G-M stock) Condition: M-. Looks like it's never been played. Only flaw is the messy bb hole shown in photo. You won't find a cleaner copy. $500 U.S. (the rough equivalent is £400 as of today) plus shipping from New York.

WOW WOW WOW! I had no idea about the Henry Hines connection to Tri-Sound!! Thanks! https://greenvilleandbeyond.wordpress.com/

Hollywood label. Anyone? Cash waiting. Thanks, Matt

The ones that stand out in my memory, though not necessarily the rarest or best, are all of the Mutts (except Dusty Wilson), most in quantity...and just tons of oddball Detroit things.

Wow!! Stock copy, as I recall. I ended up trading that to Greg Tormo. Wish I still had it.

I was there and at his house nearby hundreds of times and bought thousands of records from him. Really miss him.

There's currently a copy on ebay.

Thanks, Guy!

Superclean M- copy of Billy Prophet, What Can I Do/Sad Sam (Sue) up for grabs. Basically looks as new as when it left the pressing plant. I will cover shipping anywhere from the U.S. via USPS Priority Express (which now costs around $75, ouch!). Asking $1,200 all in, payment via paypal in U.S. dollars. (Last I looked, that was equal to about 940 pounds sterling, but of course the exchange rate fluctuates.) I prefer Friends and Family; if you'd rather do it as Goods and Services, I ask that you add $48 (4 percent) to cover fees. I'm based in NYC, and though I haven't sold much on this forum, many members can vouch for my honesty. Matt Weingarden IMG_7218.pdf IMG_7217.pdf

Thanks, Tim, for the fascinating history and opinions. Anyone need a copy of this? Message me.

This guy has a long history of complaints against him. Check out the Vinyl Vigilante group on Facebook for many, many examples. He ripped off a good friend of mine for a multi-thousand-dollar record recently that he probably never had a copy of. His MO seems to be to pump up his positive feedback with cheapish sales, then lower the boom on the occasional unsuspecting victim by selling a big-ticket item that doesn't exist.

Same seller, same record, two and a half years ago: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1484989138379594/permalink/2911793879032439/

I think it's fantastic, but maybe that's because I acquired one fairly recently after having it on my wants lists for many years.

New to me. Like.

My two cents, as someone who has had and enjoyed most of the records in question for years: Elbie Parker's voice sounds nothing like Bobby Parker's. If not for the coincidence of the name similarity, no one hearing their records could ever be talked into thinking they're the same person.

Makes sense! Thanks!

Many Brico youtube vids come from CD comps and not original 45s. I would surmise that in this case, the higher-pitched vocal is from the 45, the lower-pitched one from some unreleased-on-vinyl master-tape relic that was included on a compilation.

Nice, never heard.

Les Harris, And the Bull Walked Around Olay? Matador is gored by bull and dies. But '50s, pre-soul.

Cash waiting. Thanks, Matt

This is way too cryptic for me to follow!

May own many or most, impossible to tell. Definitely doesn't own ALL, as I've discovered many uploads that show a picture of a 45 and don't play the released 45 version at all but a CD-only take released later. Can't think of any examples off the top of my head, mind you...

It's possible!
