Records By Mail just listed a G+ copy for $600, just happened to see it on their Instagram. Weird coincidence or?

Wow yes it is.I think it’s more worth than that to my opinion according to the sound.I guess because it is pretty obscure and unknown so they don’t know how to price it.But even 600$ for a G copy isn’t necessarily cheap either!

Northern stomper?  Here is a sound clip...

Not my cup of tea 

A Real chugger (pardon the pun)  a bit C & W 'ish but ok!   a side nice Too.

Both sides were also recorded by Johnny Otis on King.

O-Cal was Johnny Otis publishing company.

Both sides penned by Johnny Otis and Nehemia King.

Nehemia King must be Nimo King.

listened to both sides cannot find a good thing to say about them more teen 60's rock n roll than anything else,didn't do anything for me

not like the northern stompers i`m used to hearing.. not my cuppa at all

If I had bought that blind cheap years ago it would have gone straight in the bin .

No Soul in there at all and even Northern soul with its rich diversity of sounds played I am sure any DJ who found a copy would have ditched without even a try to break it .

I would have thought this would be of interest only to label/composer/producer completists? I can't imagine anyone dancing to it.

For obvious reasons, there can't be many more unknowns out there after fifty years of the world's most trainspottery obsessives looking, and especially so since the true value of the records became known to any American with an internet connection; I'd think there's probably a fair bit lingering still on the B sides of obscure and semi-obscure 45s though (though obviously those wouldn't be unknown).

This is horrendous,it sounds like they are trying to copy the beatles in a bad way.
