Record storage in da house?
What kind of configuration? I'm hunting for USM for LP storage these days, but would like them for 45s too if they can be made to fit in a good way.

Vinyl vs styrene by pressing plant and year?
The obvious is probably Monarch who did loads of styrene. If you have a photo of the label you can also compare to discogs since smaller labels didn't always care if the label layout was slightly different from different pressing plants (i.e. different fonts, credits in different positions).

New releases 2020
- Sherry (Scherrie) Payne ???
It depends which side you're talking about. Only one of the tracks are on the album.- Sherry (Scherrie) Payne ???
She did a solo 45 on Invictus in 1972 so that list is not very well researched.- Contacting Discogs
A new listing will create a new inventory number for the item and solve the problem. You should also go to the shipping calculator page to unselect all countries except UK. This way customers in other countries will not be able to add your items to their shopping cart. (You don't need to add shipping prices to the calculator if you prefer to invoice manually.)- Nashville Matrix?
https://www.discogs.com/label/716852-Music-City-Recorders-Nashville- Harry Lee Gates Seems to also be Louis Curry
Did anyone ever ask McKinley Jackson?- Vanguards #86
It doesn't look like it qualifies as a reissue by the discogs guidelines. The contributor who added it just tagged it as reissue because of the Cotillion distribution. The yellow one is a Southern Plastics pressing.- Ola V. Harper
Review from Record World, december 1968. It got listed under "radio station picks" by a Miami radio station in november same year.- Totally original copy of Poor Souls.
There's a Tramp reissue. Not sure if there's a bootleg too. Not really a soul record though, but I do like it.- Colt 45's and Jerry Records - Help please ?
Steve Colt was from Lynn, near Boston Mass. It doesn't sound like him.- Don Hart on Mary Jane
Looking for a nice copy of this. I'm aware labels will be bad.- Sporting Heroes Who Cut Soul / R&B Records
- Label background overprinted and used by multiple labels
QCA has listings on discogs for most parts of the company. Not many of these backgrounds spotted while browsing the 45s by them though. Could be albums if you have the time to look through the images. https://www.discogs.com/label/320186-QCA-Custom-Pressing There'll probably be more if people start adding runouts to their records 😎- A Steinways Pictorial
Bob Yorey again. He was also involved with Laddins and Mar-Vells (aka Fabulettes) as you can see from the label image in my previous post. There was a lot of Miami-New York connections with him. Is he still around? I had his e-mail address a few years ago.- Happiest and most uplifting records..

If you want to be able to understand deadwax from other plants than Monarch you can use this forum thread: https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/743281 Discogs is becoming an ever more informative site. And it's useful to look up represses and bootlegs. Just remember that the discogs term for a bootleg is "unofficial".- A Steinways Pictorial
That Laddins track was also released as The Marvells since they both performed on it. It was even released in Canada.- A Steinways Pictorial
I've tried to find a little information on Davey "Dizzy" Jones, but not much comes up other than a few mentions by Henry Stone and other tiny tidbits proving he was there (on stage vocal battles with Little Willie John comes up a few times). "Dizzy Jones Birdland" was pretty much a promotional song for the Birdland club. Both the Laddins and Mar-Vells (aka Fabulettes) are on that track and it was released by both groups. The recording was done the day JFK was assassinated.- The Latin stuff that seems to be everywhere.
I rarely listen to the latin stuff, but I've always thought this was a better version than the original. As a bonus the flip is nice too. Both very breezy summer songs.- Sweet & Innocent: cry love * original vs reissue *
I love the sound on those Active 45s. Still looking for Cry Love but it always turns up as VG- or worse, and that Epics 45 may have become too expensive.- The harlem gospel travelers he's on time
Yes. Same release date. Both were available as pre-release. Clear vinyl was limited to 300.- Record Box Trackers ?
GPS trackers are getting cheaper. You'd need a low cost SIM-card with it. But tracking would be much better than with a bluetooth tile. It's not much bigger than those tiles either, so you should be able to hide one in your record box.- MoSoul / Mo-Soul Records
