very sad RIP

very saddened by this news RIP

never heard the part 2 before, damn british press.

had not paid attention to that before, but now that you mention it.... i can hear the similarity, awesome

yeah i dig her Jubilee stuff "The Doctor" is also good & cheap.

this red/red copy is what i have too & i agree it is 100% not a boot. i know the wlp boot because that is waht my ex-girlfriend has, but have not seen a red label boot before, well that i have noticed anyway.

very cool, are you able to send me a good quality scan & soundclips for my website?

some current faves thrown together this morning, enjoy https://www.mixcloud.com/Kris_Holmes/kris-holmes-funky-soul-45s-mix-december-2012/

it is said that a lower tracking force can also do damage as the needle does not sit as soundly in the groove & can vibrate from the signal & this can cause wear within the groove as well.

the version i play out is by Normie Rowe & is my favorite version of this on 45

yes, the belles is that same label, not a lot else as far as soul goes unfortunately, they had a little run on mirwood stuff for a minute, the olympics etc. but the Chants R&B 45s have their fans amongst garage/r&b 45 collectors. not a massive amount of releases to begin with on the label.

problem with the stantons is that stanton no longer sell just the replacement needles for them, you have to buy the cartridge (which you obviously already have) again to get a new needle, so stupid. the cheap aftermarket (not stanton branded) needles for them sound terrible for some reason. anyway, get Shure white labels if you don't want to mess with headshells, they even come with little metal carry boxes to transport them. i had ortofons a while back & the shure's are much better for 45s at least.

sounds like barbara lynn, but isn't.

yet another new studio..... same old tunes though https://www.ustream.tv/recorded/27431492

also check out another one of his "It's All Over"/"Baby I Need Somebody" good stuff.

flyer when it went through ebay?? https://www.popsike.com/Rare-Vintage-8x11-Soul-Funk-Flyer-LYNNS-PRODUCTIONS/320641878857.html

ha ha, obviously will take a while to change my posting habits, it's The Malibus "A Chance/Strong Love" on Sure Shot.

agreed, although maybe $100 is a bit too expensive? i would probably just ask for offers & see what people come back with.

Living proof that some of the best double siders will only run you $5. Gotta love the cheapies.

Now is the only LP on them I have had, it's tough to get too. Maybe you're thinking of some stuff he had a hand in producing? Or maybe there's some super common one which I've totally glassed over??

cool, what was the 5k record? bet that made your father's day

well if you can be bothered with that i guess.

yeah but it is one of those non-desirable kind of "no mans land" sounding 45s from the early/mid 60s. not garage/fuzz enough for those dudes, not mod enough, not R&B enough, not soul enough, just weak in general. like a 3rd rate beach boys/4 seasons/beatles attempt which flies well below them all. not on the radar for any sort of collector i can think of.

no, never, as long as the seller receives a parcel back from the buyer it doesn't matter what it is even, once there is proof you've got it or it's been sent back to you or even without proof, as a seller you are not safe from the dreaded paypal chargeback just heard a story regarding discogs where a seller sent a unplayed copy with slight storage warp to germany, buyer got the record then said was not happy with the condition, sent the record back, got the money back from paypal & when the seller received the record back it had miraculously transformed into a well worn VG- copy of the same title selling sucks
