Cover-up

Any help appreciated with this one. Same old story, not rare, just copies are tucked away in collections...

How much was Anna Belle Caesar. Been looking for a while...

I'm looking for Marva Whitney "Unwind Yourself" on US King original 45, demo or issue but in nice clean condition. Preferably from a UK seller, due to postage costs etc. any help appreciated... TA!

I was sitting in the train station the other day and out the corner of my eye I saw a sign proclaiming "NOSMO KING" and I thought, that's a bit odd. But then I noticed it actually said "NO SMOKING"...

The checking Popsike thing is flawed too, since I'd imagine some of the rarest of the rare records going through eBay will be totally unknown, so no doubt sell for five bucks or so. Or that might just be wildly optimistic on my part...

Err, I'm trying to work out why a link to an eBay auction from nearly two and a half years ago is still showing???!!!!

Scans on Popsike look very slightly different to the Soul Fire re-issue: https://www.popsike.com/Soul-President-FUNK-45-Get-It-Right-Got-To-Have-It/170163350900.html

I was implying that the "original" 60s Big Mack records maybe weren't entirely legitimate (or maybe they were?) since it's a "re-issue" of Rhon Silva on Uptight. What doesn't make sense in my post?

Compare and contrast (at about 50 seconds...) C-143 release: v C-152 release: Apologies if this is already common knowledge... I used to have both, can't remember which one i kept!

On a slightly different tangent, I've noticed that Jean Wells "with my love and what you got" (on Calla) got two releases and both are slightly different. Like you say on this release, it's just a slight variation in her phrasing which kinda jars when you're used to hearing it different. So maybe Calla weren't averse to having variations, or maybe it's just co-incidence...

Sorry, I can't help but feel you're selling this on the wrong forum... Most people will look at your picture and just shrug. Good luck though, great album. And sleeve!

I've heard serious collectors mention that the Soul President release on Big Mack was maybe a bootleg to begin with. Since it's a Detroit re-issue of Rhon Silva "Get It Right" on Uptight: https://www.discogs.com/Rhon-Silva-Get-It-Right-Got-To-Have-It/release/4673624 It's a bit strange that a Californian record would get a later release on a Detroit label under a different name? With McCoy taking a production credit, when it's not him on the Uptight label?

Why not just put the prices on here? I don't know if I'm interested or not until I know how much it is?!

Someone posted a want for this about a month ago. I pointed them to a copy on sale on Discogs for about £30. And did I even get a thank you?!

Would be helpful if they marked it as sold...

Mik, the guitar riff is "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, isn't it?!

Previous sales on Discogs suggest a high of £80, a low of £20 and an average of £27. You can click to see a list of individual sales, yet another nice feature of the site...

I see it's been booted, with Velvet Hammer on the other side. But can't see anywhere just stocking it, even THAT's getting auctioned on eBay. Any pointers?

.

Thanks for the link Peter, yes I've seen the copies on Discogs but... £120 for the cheapest one? Madness. Copies on eBay seem to be selling for £60/70+ but if someone on here has one and can't be bothered with eBay and PayPal fees, geez a shout...

Now, there must be some hapless soul out there who bought this when it was $3.99 thinking it was about to big on the soul scene. And then saw the utter derision it was being met with, as everyone complained loudly "it's just a pop song, it's got nothing to do with northern soul, if you played this at a soul venue, you'd get tarred and feathered..." Well, this is where I'm stepping in and can help you out of your predicament. I'm actively looking for this piece of commercial drivel to play in a discotheque environment (not a soul club, don't worry...) and will happily pay you the cost of a decent northern soul single for your trouble. I'm talking, of course, about the yellow vinyl 45 release and not the cd single... Joking aside, if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. I'm sure the price on this will settle down over the next few weeks and months, but (like everyone else) I'd quite like one now. For a "sensible" price. TA, like...
