Hi everyone,

Some of you may have wondered why its been so long since our last auction.....

We've been busy...

Remember this quote from Mr. Manship?

"But there is only one truly great find, that was DOBARD'S load in Oakland 2005, that was far & beyond anyone's wildest dreams. Beating any of my previous finds a 10,000 fold or more. At the time those involved in the purchase were all numb, as it was totally unbelievable.

Unfortunately as nothing will ever get close to that in the future, it has dulled my excitement of looking & finding records somewhat."

"Unfortunately as nothing will ever get close to that in the future"....?

Not true.

In April, a partner and I purchased the store stock and personal file of Music City. Most people didnt know it existed!

70,000 unplayed 45s, and almost 7,000 lps (4000 sealed). These were separate from the previous purchase we all know about a few years ago, which was Dobard's BACK stock. This recent purchase was the RETAIL STORE STOCK, which is much more piece-meal, in many cases there was only 1-3 copies of each 45. It took over 2 weeks, 13 hours a day to divide up between us. And its incredible. There are many many new finds that DID NOT turn up in the first load.

What we are offering in this auction is unique...A large portion of Ray's personal acetates, mothers, masters and stampers from his home file/archive. This is the first and probably the last time these may be offered.

Bear in mind a large number are doo wop, but there's SOUL in there as well.

We will follow up this auction in about a month with another 1000+ SOUL 45s and a lot of surprises.

Please take a look, and thanks for your time!

All the best, Mike and Michelle

Thanks.
