January 8, 201213 yr Author I like Tammy Wynette. However, I hope Tony Rounce takes the bait and starts ranting though.
January 8, 201213 yr if you diss country you diss yourself...... i actually like a lot of country stuff, i will defend good country, but agree that bad country is terribly terrible.
January 8, 201213 yr Monkey Meeks on Roxsbury is a terrible country record. Do not buy it. Was it described as "northern soul totally unknown, brilliant dancer proven rarity, no one knows it, I've checked all the collectors bla bla" ?
January 8, 201213 yr Author Was it described as "northern soul totally unknown, brilliant dancer proven rarity, no one knows it, I've checked all the collectors bla bla" ? no, i bought it for the label #. I have gotten country records that were described as "northern soul". More frequently people try to pass off hard rock records as soul, it's very annoying.
January 8, 201213 yr no, i bought it for the label #. I have gotten country records that were described as "northern soul". More frequently people try to pass off hard rock records as soul, it's very annoying. Well if you bought it for the label you can't blame anyone lol There are Country and western records on Okeh and Lena Zavaroni recorded on Stax
January 8, 201213 yr Author Well if you bought it for the label you can't blame anyone lol There are Country and western records on Okeh and Lena Zavaroni recorded on Stax True, I still would have bought it knowing it was some garbage. Just warning people who see it and think it might be some great obscure and unknown roxsbury label. Also, I was sort of annoyed because I've only ever found soul on the label.
January 8, 201213 yr I remember being really bummed out when i blind bought my first country 45 (not good country) on Chess.
January 8, 201213 yr On the same theme - also avoid this one - even though the band name sounds promising it's basically C&W Owen & Paul & The Drifters - Dear Mom (Giant #704) A darned shame Richard
January 8, 201213 yr and don't forget lance hill,s version of make my love a hurtin' thing on bang bang
January 9, 201213 yr Monkey Meeks on Roxsbury is a terrible country record. Do not buy it. I think this is a double bluff.I want one.
January 9, 201213 yr Author no, i either bought it buy-it-now or on musicstack for cheap. those sites only seem to be good for picking up weird label numbers. I have paid a lot for some terrible label numbers before though.
January 9, 201213 yr This one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/MONKEY-MEEKS-TAKE-ME-YOUR-HEART-DJH0-0133-ROXBURY-PENTHOUSE-PRODUCTION-RECORD-/260925461636?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item3cc05e9484 Interesting that the writer is Billy Wade McKnight. I have a pretty good garage 45 by him on the Custom label from Texas. He also cut a dull 45 on the famous International Artists label (13th Floor Elevators, etc label). I think he cut some other stinkers.

I think he cut some other stinkers. yeah, it is that 45 but my copy was a promo that has a different song on the flip, the one pictured in that auction has the same song on both sides.
January 9, 201213 yr Sometimes it's all about taking a gamble i saw a Sam Dees I need You demo SSS international 732 for $2 no body bid on it so i bought it only to find it was a double side the song is absolutely feckin awfull but hey it could have had Lonely for you baby on the other side even though it was a double side it could have been a mislabel i saw another one about a year later and it sold for £94 and the seller didn't say it was a double sider i messaged him and asked how he could rip someone off like that but he never got back at one time you could message the buyers buy not now !

But when I got them they actually ended up being really good. Also, one of them is like the longest 45 I've ever seen (maybe 7 1/2 minutes?) which was interesting.
