Looking for a clean copy of both Nita Rossi - Every Little Day Now/Untrue on UK Piccadilly. and Gene Chandler - Mr. Big Shot/I Hate To Be The One To Say on Constellation PM me or email directly to rswyes at gmail dot com if you've a spare!

That is not the case here. As the seller clearly states, this is the second and final MINT copy of a true rarity. That's it. Stop trying to scare people off from bidding on it and stop being so suspicious about the business practices of a man you probably do not know. Thanks.

Great stuff!!

2nd BUMP

I help Brad out at his store every week. I DJ with Brad every month. He had hoped to keep the second copy for his own DJ box, at least for a couple spins out at our soul night, but the high price of the first copy and the fact that he's still working to get himself out of a financial hole brought on by the loss of his first store and the building up of his second precipitated the relatively quick listing of the second copy. Now, with respect to how he got the two mint copies in the first place, I honestly don't know, nor have I asked. It's his business - literally.

As Sharlow45 stated earlier, and as Brad himself plainly states in the auction, this is the second and final copy.

BUMP

I'd also be open to selling these off as a job lot - Make me an offer, if seriously interested!

EMAIL SENT!

I don't think that's really a fair thing to say. Many of the disputes were either 1) eventually settled with feedback mutually withdrawn or 2) look to be the fault of the buyer and not the seller. Brad's a great guy - anyone who's ever met him would tell you the same. He definitely fell on some hard times when his store burned down last March, but selling records like these ones on La Beat will surely help him to get back on track financially.

Sure, I guess it's just something I've never heard played out over here in the States...

Just now see that there's an Al Williams on La Beat listed in the same batch: https://cgi.ebay.com/Al-Williams-nothern-so...1QQcmdZViewItem Which one's better? Lester or Al?

And it'll go to the highest bidder: https://cgi.ebay.com/Lester-Tipton-nothern-...1QQcmdZViewItem Who's even ever heard this one played out!?! B-side ain't bad either.

FINAL BUMP

UPDATED WITH SOME PRICE REDUCTIONS. ALL REASONABLE OFFERS CONSIDERED.

I'm pretty sure they've sold off all their copies by this point, so the record price is probably on it's way up.

Added: Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum, and Durr - Wendey Rene - Marva Taylor - Tuomo See posts above for prices.

Unfortunately, NYC is not necessarily as much of a 45-driven market as one might think - more of an LP and 12" kind of city, at least in my experience. That said, there are a couple great stores on the lower east side that I'd highly recommend, namely Good Records and Big City Records. Other stores of note and repute include the Sound Library, A-1, and Academy Records.

Bump walk.
