That Sign Of Leo track is a fantastic sunshine pop tune, really top-of-the-heap kind of stuff as far as that "genre" goes. Well composed, superbly produced and with a very unorthodox/creative psych break that works etc. I'd personally never think of playing this track in a soul context, but considering that the DJs in the video also spin pure pop like Marion Sodd and Fragile Lime, then I'm not surprised that the Sign Of Leo track is included in their set. The second cover-up is Teak Wood "See My Girl" on ARC by the way. Also pure pop. -
No, you're wrong. I've got it. It's a vinyl pressing from 1970 or 1971. It was supplied six years ago to Discogs by a user based in Penns Grove, New Jersey which fits in.

It's not AI. It's "Castle In The Sky" by Sign Of Leo: It was copyrighted on 5 October 1970: Exists as a white label 7" promo/test pressing: https://www.discogs.com/artist/6841520-Sign-Of-Leo And is also available on a compilation LP from 1971 called "Al Robert's Revue" that showcases the songwriting talents of Ron Hackling and the acts that appeared on this obscure New Jersey "revue": https://www.discogs.com/release/15643323-Various-Al-Roberts-Revue More info: https://www.strangedigs.com/the-al-roberts-revue Ron Hackling co-wrote The Mark V's harmony garage-pop nugget "I Want To Say" on the Blast label: Hackling seems to have been involved with The Duprees (a.k.a Italian Asphalt & Pavement Co / I.A.P. Co.) in some way as well, turning up as producer and co-writer together with Tommy Petillo on a few late tracks. There's quite a bit of latter day footage of Ron Hackling performing on YouTube.

As you can read in the item description, the winning bidder never came through with the payment (he baulked at having to pay 7.25% California state tax which ebay automatically added to the final price), so I've had to re-list it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/335613818814

If a YouTube channel gets three copyright infringement cases within a 90-day period, the channel will be closed down. This might have happened. An email address to the person that has filed the copyright infringement case is always provided, so it's possible to contact them and try to reason with them in order to get them to withdraw their case and if that succeeds then you'll get your channel back.

The winning bidder is in the US (California) which doesn't surprise me.

Such a fabulous artist! Many favourite already mentioned, but here are a few from his Checker releases: "After The Laughter" and "In My Body's House":

Great track. Interestingly penned by Lou Reed and John Cale (pre- Velvet Underground). The All Night Workers also recorded it, but Downliners Sect did the ultimate version of it in my opinion.
-
Jimmy Holiday's own original version is a thumper as well:

Does anyone remember "Need Your Loving" getting plays? A far more "traditional" sounding stomper.
-
Sherilles - Nobody's Gonna Love You with Vessie Simmons on vocals. Utterly fabulous! Was played by Ady on one of Dean Anderson's shows. Audio below.

Most likely not required. These 45s were supposed to be sold with the picture sleeves which had plenty of relevant info such as personnel etc. Also mentions Sepia, Ashford etc on both labels and sleeves.
-
Might as well stick these two press clippings from Billboard (May 1970) and Record World (July 1970) up here. Despite what has been claimed by Lorraine Chandler in the past, there is no way that those Googa Mooga releases were released without knowledge from the rights owners.
-
Here are 31 more hand dated records from that collection. I think that it's pretty safe to assume that the written date is the date of arrival or date of archival
-
Perhaps worth mentioning that the etching that some people refer to as "3w's" is infact Mack Evans WME initials (Warren McCleallan Evans). Might update Discogs info to reflect this if no one else beats me to it.

The first big quantity of Dream Team (reportedly 100+ copies) turned up in September/October 2003 via a UK seller. He was selling them for £100 each (that's where I got my copy) and I remember that it caused quite a bit of a stir because it had been an "impossible" to find record up until then and a few of the early copies from the find were sold for huge sums privately, then the rest appeared with a dealer that doled them out cheaper.
-
There are several early Tamla Motown releases from The Netherlands that carry Nashville Matrix or RCA Custom matrixes, so the actual US made lacquers must've been sent over from the US to Holland. Same goes for lots of Beatles releases that have UK matrix but are clearly pressed in Denmark/Sweden/etc.

A seller on ebay that sold a copy in 2022 stated that he had 9 copies of this 45 for sale that he would offer to the highest bidder (in case that person was interested). It wouldn't surprise me if most of the subsequent copies have come from that stash. Nine copies is however still not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
