Really? The original is very rare in my experience. The bootleg is sometimes sold as being the real deal.

Ofcourse the Bear Family reissue is legit. Bear Family is one of, if not the, most prolific and respected reissue label in the entire world.

Here is the b-side:

At least four copies of The Products have gone through eBay during the past 18 months, ending at $30, $50, $202.50 and £550.33

It's now only 2-3 hours to go on these auctions: https://www.ebay.com/sch/pushkings/m.html Thanks for looking!

My reply seems to have disappeared. I've sold that dutch 45 a couple of times on eBay, it has never gone higher than $18. The UK 45 was issued twice, in 1972 (MW 3002) and 1975 (MW 3024), it's the first release and primarily the stickered demo or test pressing that usually fecthes higher amounts.

There's now about 4 days left on these auctions: https://www.ebay.com/sch/pushkings/m.html

Roburt, I've got his 45's on Instant, Sansu and Deesu. Might have his Minit label 45's as well. Let me know if you struggle to find any of the recordings and I might be able to help you out.

The slower version is the one on the DELUXE label 45 mentioned in the first post in this thread. Have managed to find myself a copy of the HBR 45 with the fast version since my previous post in this thread as well, so no longer need the matrix details...

Edit: WHOOPS! Just realised that I wrote pretty much the same thing as Godzilla above, but anyway, here goes: It defintiely is the Jim Seals. John Trombatore who was a band member in The Champs alongside Jim Seals, co-wrote some of his CHALLENGE sides and later also turned up as a co-writer on songs from the first couple of Seals & Crofts albums. https://www.sealsandcrofts.com/jimmyseals.html

Less than 24 hours to go on these auctions now: https://www.ebay.com/sch/pushkings/m.html Plenty of current in-demanders and under-the-radar stuff! Thanks for looking.

This has been the standard on US eBay for a long while. They charge 10% on the full amount, including the shipping.

No, not strange. He was a cross-dresser and wore what is traditionally considered womens clothes. He was just open minded and ahead of the pack.

Jackie Shane would qualify, I guess.

I'm quite into Willie & Anthony's "I'm Tired (Of A One Way Love Affair)" on BLUE CANDLE at the moment. Gutsy, pounding stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVMjprRGvXA

There's now about 4 days left on these auctions: https://www.ebay.com/sch/pushkings/m.html It's a BIG batch of 200 45's with plenty of under-the-radar stuff and current in-demanders.

It's Mickey & Sylvia at the far left. Big Al Sears with the saxophone and King Curtis on the far right. Milton/Milt Trenier in the middle, yes.

And on the other end of the spectrum, Craig Moerer has got 507 copies in stock at $5 each. The reissue/bootleg that is!

Not a million... but Jimmy Robins "I Can't Please You" being such a big seller has always surprised me. Apparently 25.000 units sold in Chicago during the first four weeks of its release. This is from Billboard Magazine, 5 November 1966:

CF was down for maintenance earlier today. Back up now.

But it's a nightmare compiling those releases, becuase the used the same numbering system as RCA so there are lots of long numbering gaps amongst those releases.

Perhaps they had?

Out of all the US releases of this 45 that I've had, the one on ATTERU sounds the best. Clear, punchy sound. The releases on ATLAS sounds muffled in comparison. Here are the US release of this 45 that I've had, and in the order that I think they were released: Atteru white demo Atteru issue --- Atlas white demo Atlas blue issue Atlas multi-coloured issue --- Unity issue
