Aristocrats Organisation
"Notorious record shark Glen Bivens" - haha long time since I'd seen Glen's name in print Ian, yes that about sums it up bless him

Aristocrats Organisation
Not "proper" Northern by any stretch but do kinda like Satisfied by Soul Inc. on Rondo, apparently the theme tune to some movie - Duffy - have never seen come up on Cable Thought story on the first Aristocrats was Jeff Silverman here in NY got hold of it, maybe from TX as Boba says, then it changed hands twice before ending up w Ian in the UK, that one's not super clean like the recent ebay one, then the reissue came off studio tapes not from another copy

El-Corals Band
No fella, tis a version of On Broadway, probably didn't help sales as it's pretty dire, but you're right in that the label is more known for rocksteady type releases, both sides of this are also on a comp lp of various 45's on the label, don't know how tough is to find on your side of the water, maybe a q for Pete S?

El-Corals Band
My favourite Chick song, have it on UK BAF, don't know if got a US release?

Deloris Ealy - I've Been Looking (Velvet)
Would be very happy for you if it's legit, that would be beyond a bargain, have had many offers over the years for mine, would never let it go!! Rarest one on the label is by the backing band from this 45 but without Delores - Robert Cardwell and his Soul Searchers Band - only know of a few, have one here, there's one in LA, a beat-up copy went to UK few years back, otherwise never see it listed.

Earl Carter Question
It's definitely long peaked, back when it used to be big on the Funk scene sold a lovely close to mint one for either $900 or $1,000, would suspect could cut that in half these days
-
The Torchmen - Harlem Shuffle - Dart
Not the greatest version have ever heard, just plods along tempo wise, try the Little Woo Woo version on Heat, that'll get you moving! Or plenty of others on this thread:

New Discoveries 6Ts/7Ts Northern & Rare Soul
Bold Breed isn't what I'd call a new discovery, agree still not that many copies around which isn't quite the same thing
-
Looking For A Copie Of Betty Brewton On Sue
One of the loudest 45's you'll ever put on your turntable, full marks to whoever mastered this back in the day, it's speaker destroyingly great!
-
Aquamen On Ebay - Wtf?
Not a tough record here Stateside. Had to laugh at the chancer promptly listing one in sales for uk300 as a "bargain", there's always one joker in the pack
-
Want: Brian Diamond - Shake, Shout & Go (Fontana)
Took me a while to find one of these as not at all known here in the States, Tony in San Diego always rated this, bass line has a weird similarity to Rock Lobster many years later of all records

Salem Records - Any Recommendations
That's a different Salem, same as RedCoats Revue Inc.

Salem Records - Any Recommendations
The 2nd Frances Burr is blah, also not too excited when got Charles McNair "Bundle up and go/Sometime beats no time"
-
Salem Records - Any Recommendations
Nothing beats Frances Burr "I say no, no more", but Jimmy Ellis "Putting it on your mind" is a winner too
-
John Moore - Philly Help Needed 2Day
Val Shively 49 Garrett Road, Upper Darby 610 352 2320 Easiest way there from the city centre is catch the Market Frankford line train to the terminus at 69th St, walk 100 yards up Market St and Garrett Road is on your left at a small junction, Val is up on the right hand side

Holy Grails, Rarities, Freddie Butler, Empires, Lil Major Williams, 2Nd Ressurrection Lots More,
Artist: Lil Major Williams A Side: Girl (you're So Sweat, You're So Fine) Don't think the singer's got much chance winning her over calling her Sweaty Betty!

Bold Breed Featuring B. G. - Mood For Love
I sold a mint copy to a good guy in Germany a few months ago, great 45, have tracked down a couple of band members but no more extra copies yet
-
The Faces Label
Have noticed a fair few on this label cropping up on sales lists over recent times, did wonder if someone had found a batch? One have seen most is LC Steels version of Losing Boy
-
Records That Made You Gobsmacked
Funniest thing about the Salvadors is every time we see Jo Armstead she always calls it the worst record she ever wrote!
-
Lee Stone On Shaw
Rate the flip too Mine has reversed labels so when I forget that's what I get to hear!
-
Rod Keith- The Lord Said
There's over 830 45 releases on the Preview discography so who knows what else is decent on it? I have a really good girl dancer b-side, drawing a blank on name/title but it os the flip of something atrociously bad, plenty of those on the label!

Nice Record Shame About The Middle
That's why I sold my Wendell Western - Nag on me, goes for a wander in the middle and so do I!
-
Sherli Allen-Think It Over-Xtra
I sold a clean one earlier this year, think had $100 on it, agree a solid tune
-
Willie West - Willie Knows How
Nice to see his early sides getting the recognition they deserve, he was sensational live for us last year, someone bring him over to the UK, you guys are missing out!
-
Neil Reed On Music Now
Recorded really low though, really have to crank this one up despite having a super clean copy (sorry can't split off the crossover side for you Bob, as always I play the flip! )
