Thank you, it's been a long time coming for Ray and the best part is getting to see his children discover another side of their dad, one they were to young to enjoy the first time around.

Some other amazing finds in the collection.

 

I had the Avis 45 with a mispressed b side - was a really nice dancer.

Max, this is some outstanding stuff. Will be looking for these records - maybe you can post a link re where to buy etc.

Thanks for keeping the Philly sound alive!

 @Brewerytownbeats 

There were a lot of problems the last couple of times you offered our members similar pre-sales on here, have you refunded them all?

Also what steps have you taken this time to prevent similar happening?

Thanks Mike for asking,

 

I've had two issues with Pre-Orders all having to do with situations I did not have full control of, the Nu-Ron's were from a new pressing plant (I have since returned to my original plant) that was long delayed and ultimately came destroyed, 2000 copies... and the book were I was led to believe I could keep selling because there were enough to fulfill the the numbers I had been told, and ultimately the supplier couldn't do so.  I believe in most (if not all) cases things have been settled, and if not, I am here and willing to settle up. I would like to point out that I have been releasing records since 2018 and had little more than the occasional hiccup on all of them, Honey And The Bees, The Ambassadors, Winfield Parker, Les Tre Femme, Magnum, The Thompsons, The Ultimates, Power Of Attorney, Sounds Of Liberation, Frankie Beverly's Raw Soul, and more recently 1984.. I pride myself on finding these artists, and working with them directly to bring their music to the world, I spend a LOT of time and effort (and money) to make sure the artists get some recognition and attention they deserve for every record they do.  For instance I drove to Lexington Kentucky from Philadelphia twice to get the full story of Ray Sharp and The Ebonys single I am releasing now. Ray's story deserves to be told correctly, and working with his family, for them to get to see that somebody cares about what their dad did means the world to them and me.  Not everything I have done is perfect, I have dropped the ball a few times but my intentions are always true, and I love your platform here and the community here even if I come off a bit protective at times. I understand some members may have some reservations about my releases, and that's fine. The record is in the press, and I have been given a return date of "late december, early January". For those few who don't want to put their trust in me, they can order directly from Juno who will be getting the records from my distributor, just not the Limited Editions promo with the alternate flip-side.

I'm here and am willing to answer questions or concerns. Thanks again Mike
