George G Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 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? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Perception Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 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?! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Prophonics 2029 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Not a bad record reminds me of the Hi Lites on Daran. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tai-pan Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 $7200 final price.........lordy! Very strange price result, maybe it was something about the Shrine connection. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Corbett80 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Amazing money. A nice 60's record but not worth that in terms of musical quality imho. Obviously very rare though! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mattfox Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) 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 ...

boba Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Very strange price result, maybe it was something about the Shrine connection. what shrine connection? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dobber Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 what else is on the label? isnt the kittens on vick? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 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.

Tai-pan Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hi Bob, seem to recall something about the Counts, Peaches Baby?? ATB Andy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hi Bob, seem to recall something about the Counts, Peaches Baby?? ATB Andy 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.

Tai-pan Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Could it have been on the arrangement side Bob? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Marc Forrest Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 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. 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...

Robbk Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 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. 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 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. 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? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
