Hello!
I've listed a bunch of records on eBay.
There are label/sleeve scans and soundclips to everything.
Check them out at: https://www.ebay.com/sch/pushkings/m.html
Thanks for looking!
Take care.

Totally agree. The only reason in my opinion to own the 45 on ARC is because of the uptempo flipside.
Has anyone ever tracked down Carole Waller's version of "You're So Good To Me Baby" (not the Silky Hargraves song)? Is it only a demo/acetate or does it exist on an issued 45? Apparently "recorded for USA Records".
A high price for a 45 that usually struggles to push beyond $20 on its proper demo or issue:

(Rozetta Johnson - "Mine Was Real")
Would be great if someone could post up the matrix details for the mispressed HBR 45 which includes the fast version of "You Belong To Me" vs. the properly pressed HBR 45.
The scan/info above came from an auction that was on eBay in January 2012:

Just found another 45 on JESSICA.
It seems to be from 1982 though, so might not be related, but it also had a St. Louis base:
JESSICA 001 - Reuven Kall & Margaret Hines - Main Man / Misty
Willie Small on JESSICA 401-A on "How High Can You Fly" and 401-B on "Say You Will" Correctly pressed Curtis Smith on ESSICA: 3135 IRC/45 on "The Living End" and 401-B on "Say You Will" Mis-pressed Curtis Smith on ESSICA:
3135 IRC/45 on "The Living End" and 401-A on "Say You Will" (plays "How High Can You Fly")
I've always found it intriguing that "Move On Up" was a complete failure on its original 45 release in the US. It didn't chart at all.
One of my personal "desert island tunes". I never seem to tire of it.
The Imperials "Where You Gonna Find Somebody Like Me" (PX 270 from 1978) is a good modern soul tune.
But in my opinion the only essential release on the label is The Saints double-sider "I'm Stranded" / "No Time". None of their other releases even gets near it.
For example here's La Lupe's "Fever" as it should sound:
... and here's how it is played on the popcorn scene:
It has even been BOOTLEGGED at its slowed down pace...
Indeed a bit strange that they have the same number.
But they don't have the exact same matrix:
MM-110-B DELTA #55879-X = SLAUSON SHUFFLE
MM-110-B-RE DELTA #55879-X = SOUL JERK
Looks like they changed their mind quickly and made a new stamper.
