I sure ain't knowledgable on rare soul records (unless they're from Ohio or the Pacific NW)...but is this really as unknown as claimed?

I had never heard it until this week, sounded excellent to me.

Could it be something we don't get much of these days, a 60's newie?!

same here never heard it before but aint it good

Had one mid 80's,cheap,after playing it a few times ,decided to move it on for trades got about £300 ,niceish tune but nowt special

$7200 final price.........lordy!

Very strange price result, maybe it was something about the Shrine connection.

Amazing money. A nice 60's record but not worth that in terms of musical quality imho. Obviously very rare though!

rare un - deffo...nice collector's item! to be honest I tried to get it...even it sounds to me a bit like the miracles (tears of a clown) in sum way ...

Brilliant both sides !

what shrine connection?

what shrine connection?

also, for what it's worth, the group members didn't say anything about a shrine connection, don't know if you were assuming something or not.

what else is on the label? isnt the kittens on vick?

yes it's the same label. there are a few more random releases on vick. bob lee owned it, along with jerhart, hawk, toi, big 3, sta-set, etc. there are apparently two different presses of the emeralds that look the same but are different versions.

Hi Bob, seem to recall something about the Counts, Peaches Baby??

i'm pretty sure there's no connection. this group did have connections to the magnificents on dee gee and the disco group masheen co.

Could it have been on the arrangement side Bob?

true. re price...thats what you get when theres some buzz about a 45 on here before auction has fnished and two bidders end up bidding themselves up to their reserve. sth tells me you will be able to hear the record at the upcoming big line up scotland and nürnberg weekenders in a nighter context...

Brilliant both sides !

had one long time ago ,not many people new it , got rid for £150.00 quid, what a mistake will regret for long as live.

I wonder if Leo Austell co-owned Vick and Sta-Set along with Lee, as his own Lamaja Music was involved in virtually every record I have on those labels, including The Emeralds on Vick. Austell was also co-producer with Lee on The Emeralds' record.

I thought The Magnificents on Dee Gee was an L.A. record, as it was produced by H.B. Barnum for Jobete Music L.A. office, with Frank Wilson and Marc Gordon writing it. Were those the Chicago Magnificents? Did they move to L.A. with Magnificent Montague, when he came to L.A. to be a DJ on KGFJ?
