I am working on an article about this song, and trough my search I can only find info on Alex Larottas great blogg; https://www.imshakin.com/2009/11/05/the-greer-brothers-we-dont-dig-no-busing-the-busing-song-duke-1973/comment-page-1/#comment-347 Is there anyone else who got more info on this? Like: Are the Greer Brothers really brothers? Was it the boys' own initiative to make the tune and to get i recorded, or was it the record company's? Or somebody else? Was it a particular event that caused the making of the tune/recording in 1972/1973 - and not earlier/later? I know the story behind the busing, just wonder why this song was recorded exactly in 1972/73? It seems on the label that Deadric Malone is the text-author? Is that correct and who is he and why did he write the song? What kind of reactions did the record get when it was released? Did it make a debate? Was it a big hit? Was people/politicians angry/happy about it? Did someone "use" the Greer Brothers/the tune politically in some ways? Political parties, organizations...? Did the record get any reviews - and is it/are they somehow available? Does it exist any photos / movierecordings of the Greer brothers from the 1970s (or later)? Is it possible to recall how many copies was pressed? And how many was sold? Is the record released in 1972 or 1973? (My copy has a stamp that says March 28 1972) Does anyone got the lyric sheet that came with some of the copies, need a scan of it. All kind of info will be appreciated!

Thanks! No picture sleeve or insert...

Found this in Oslo today.

Wow, was it only $10

Bought mine 5 years ago, Morer had loads for $20 each! WHY didn't I buy more

I bought mine in the early 90s on my first trip to Berlin

That's what it sold for

It must be Great tune!

£123 at Manship auction, most expensive German motown?

I don't know about the UK N scene, but it's wanted by soul collectors in the rest of the world I guess? It's wanted by hip hop, funk and soul collectors. It has and is a BIG tune at Oslo Soul Experience (maybe played it every soul night for the last two years ), don't know the impact we have for the rest of the world

This record is soooo in demand at the moment, I was offered £250 for mine a while a go, not for sale at any price

As "nice" prices a possible, this is for a young and fresh collector Intimate Strangers - Love Sounds Esther Byrde - Touch Me, Take Me The Halleluiah Choirs - I've Got To Find A Way Lyn Christopher - Take Me With You Rivage - Strung Out On Your Love Steve Karmen & Jimmy Radcliff - Breakaway Arnold Blair - Trying To Get Next To You Bileo - You Can Win

Rookie has one up for bid on his latest list!

You got a PM

None

I got a Lena Horne, but that is a expensive one

What is the right price for this at the moment?

It's a killer record for sure and a real floorfiller. I heard that when the record was "discovered" some DJs paid a LOT of money for it

I hope so cos that's the one I got Seems like we are the only one here who knows this record

I don't know why, but I would guess that the one with the separate 'block-lettering' is the 2nd press...

Wow, didn't know there where a 2nd press of this, not sure what I got but now I have to check Found pictures of both:

Does it have "I'm gonna make it"? I have a copy (on PYE), but I know a guy who is desperately looking for one!
