Guest noreille Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Johnnie Taylor Watermelon man / Blues in the night ATLANTIC 650147 Manufactured in France ******** £ 150 ******** This one needs no introduction, especially on this board... I should perhaps just mention that "Blues in the night" was released in France on two different formats: an EP on Stax and this single on Atlantic. This last one is in huge demand because really rare and it's one of the best soul two-siders France has to offer, "Watermelon man" doesn't appear on the Stax EP... ******** Record: strong VG. Quite numerous but very light, small and superficial hairline scratches, espacially located on each side's begining. A couple of light superficial scuffs on "Blues in the night" side. I'm providing 7 close-up pics wich are quite representative, take a look at them. Labels: Small writings on both sides, a stamp on "Watermelon man" side. Again, check the pics... Sleeve: Original picture sleeve was missing when I found it years ago. The white generic sleeve it was into is still there... Sound check: Light surface noise on each side's begining that almost disappears in a small delay. I recorded "blues in the night" entirely and the first half of "Watermelon man" from this copy (at 112 kbps). Check the soundclip, that's how the record sounds... Great isn't it? ******** johnnie_taylor.mp3 ******** I'm just a "second issue" here and I don't want anyone to think I joigned the board to make money. This said, my professional activity's precarity sometimes leaves me no choice and makes me sell records I often would like to keep. I registered to benefit from and contribute to the wonderful ressource that is Refosoul. I'm not a man of words and knowledge so I might not participate to other forums, but I love music so you'll see me post clips from times to times... However I just want to say I'm a man of confidence, melomaniac record collector and music lover. I won't screw anyone. link to my introduction to Soul Source: https://www.soul-source.co.uk/Hi-I-m-...lle-t71197.html link to my eBay seller's feedback: https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...eedbackAsSeller Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

WOW..........Impressive Sales post - the bar has been raised - monsieur, I hope this record sells for you quickly and at the price you need - I don't actually know the value of this 7" - BUT - my God, I'd have absolutely NO HESITATION in buying this record from you if it was one I wanted - yr 'netiquette' is faultless... Respect...MRez Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Respect...MRez Thanks Mark! I received a few messages about the picture sleeve our friend Philippe friendly posted in this thread... In order to make that very clear: This is the record that should come with that picture sleeve. Unfortunately, picture sleeve's missing as mentioned in my description. This matter and the record's condition explain a reasonable price. This 45 is much rarer than the EP. I read in a thread that more or less recent Manship auction results are just revealing the demand on these french singles, he sold the EP for more than £500... Crazy! £150 for the 45 sounds fair, doesn't it? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
