Stardust discs were/are not legit. fact. Koppel behind them as far as I know.

Pretty devious, North State is the original local label release of "Girl Watcher". To bootleg the LP only track on the same label is obviously just to fool folks. Here's the Discogs link to the IL bootleg: https://www.discogs.com/de/The-OKaysions-Little-Miss-Flirt-How-Are-You-Fixed-For-Love/release/9880206

A quick Google search would have revealed that UA 50069 is the Jive Five - You're a puzzle

In my opinion pretty obvious why it isn't massive. There's no unique feature in it. Over the years many, many rather common records went massive almost over night. Why? Because they had a unique feature in it that made them stand out. Be it in the rhythm or the melody or the vocals. That Lou Rawls song is nice, infact very nice. But to make it pictorial, it's a fish among many other fishes in a sea of good tunes. It doesn't stand out.

Sorry for the bad quality. These are the real Ambassadors

House party came out in Germany too. At least two times. First on Ariola which I guess ties in with the UK Beacon release (68-ish). Then a second time, on Metronome, in 1971. Don't know if that 2nd release ties in with any UK re-release around the same time? Discogs lists a third german release, on Polydor, late 60s. However the cat no does not match any other late 60s Polydor releases I have. So I guess the listing is wrong and it might be a french or dutch issue.

Here's a picture of the a-side

No Hyman Fenster credited. Publishing is "House of Hanover", BMI. I'm sti'ill not sure what to think of it and what to do with the record. Both sides ok but as I don't collect US 45's nothing I'd keep. I guess I'll put a post in the sales section....

Human Beinz didn't sell so it's not a comedy sale, is it? And it's a very obscure release, probably very rare. Or does the comedy lie in the item description "Human Heinz"?

It sure is earlier than 67. Around 64 I'd say judged by the other side. Attached 1:00 min clip of it Delicados - I can tell - 1,00 min.mp3

Picked this up blind. Anyone know this? THE DELICADOS - I CAN TELL/TIME AND TIME AGAIN - HEIGH-HO 640 A-side is a pretty obscure mid to uptempo group soul dancer. Not the best vocals in the world but pleasing if you know what I mean. B-Side is a ok-ish ballad. Label is New York. But apart from the label address (1674, Broadway) and phone no there's no more info. Tried to find more information via Google but all I could find was a YT vid of the ballad side and that said song was included in a low rider compilation. Anyone with more info?

Same song but different singers!

Plenty of topics here on Soul Source covering that. Just search the site and you'll get all the answers. I'd say general consent in a nutshell is: reissue - legal later issue (later meaning much later, not just a year or two after the first release) bootleg/pressing - illegal later release counterfeit: see bootleg/pressing but with an affort to look like the original legal issue

Well, just a short look at the credits would have told you it's from France As much as I like the original version (have it on italian 45) this french one is not my cup of "vin rouge". The UK (?) version by Esperanto much better IMO....

German customs include postage when calculating import duties. Meaning, it's not just the cost of the record you pay duty for but also for the postage.

This is no sale talk but I highly recommend this box for two reasons: 1) it's really heavy duty and protects your precious vinyl 100% 2) and this is even more important IMO. the handle for carrying the box isn't in the front but on the side. That means whenever you carry the box around you won't have three rows of 100's of 45s stacked on each other. So chances you snap any of your 45s in half are slim to none.

Ken, where did you get the BitCoin value from? As of today, one BitCoin is $5.743

but I'd say the TP is still collectable in a nostalgic point of view.
