That's a regular scammer. New accounts as the old get closed but always $80 for expensive titles.

It was just a rumor. Interviews with the studio staff confirmed they were still at Fame because the recordings were unfinished.

I'm not big on LP's. But two top favourites are: The Fuzz - The Fuzz (Calla) Satisfaction Unlimited - Think of the Children (Hot Wax)

There's no solid evidence telling us what 340 actually is. I found the counterfeit theory through another forum but can't remember which one anymore, it's been a while since I dealt with the list. I seem to remember it may not only apply to Oneida. There are several obvious counterfeits pressed by them (and the owner had previous convictions for counterfeiting records) so they were involved in some way. Oneida was also located in Utica which is a city with a dubious history regarding organised crime.

340 is a client number or similar that has been assosciated with counterfeit records. I was working on a list of 340's on Discogs but it's been a while since I updated: https://www.discogs.com/lists/340-matrix-Oneida-and-others/496942

Don't replace the newer one, just add your version as a unique release. If you upload to the 2000s release it will just be disabled. I'd like to know the runouts for this version. It looks like it was pressed by Oneida who did a lot of custom pressing jobs (and a few bootlegs).

Fourth mentioned in this thread. If you show a scan and some runouts it may be possible to know more about the 45.

2004 it says on my profile. Probably true. I was on Rare Soul Talk and Soulful Detroit more. And the funk forums when they existed. After all these years I'm still not a regular user, but nice to stop by every now and then.

Recut can just mean that the first test pressing was not approved, it would normally not have anything to do with releases.

Can you remember where you got the 1983 date from when you asked about this topic in 2010?: https://soulfuldetroit.com/showthread.php?30033-Gino-Washington-s-1970s-Record-Productions

Yes.

Ah, no. I forgot to add the date. He retired in 1992.

During 1974 Gil Roberts became employed by WEA:

A recording engineer has commented on discogs that "I lost you girl" was recorded August 15, 1970 at Pioneer Recording in Detroit. The G&G scan has 19,8,83 handwritten on the label so a 1983 release is not impossible. (There's also a youtube comment that claims that Perfecta was "named after a racetrack windfall he enjoyed that week". Youtube vid is from his Love Bandit compilation on Norton so maybe info from there?)

I don't actually know if I need this. But I need this. Hopefully 99 others will need it too.
