Buying Apathy Or Have All The Soul Buyers Left Ebay In Their Droves?
I see on Discogs that there is a "wants list" function. As a seller, can you notify/alert the people who have listed your records as wants that you have a copy available to sell?

Boot V's Original Tamala Lewis You Wont Say Nothing Marton
Spoke with Ray Davis (Del Larks/Parliaments) about her many years ago. All he could remember about her was that she was a girlfriend of George Clinton's. He also said it's the Parliaments who sing harmonies on the record, and although he said he hadn't sung the song since the day it was recorded, he was able to sing the words to it over the phone for me.

"stronger Than Her Love" Group Line-Up
I had a white promo of the Festival release that had the date Dec 29, 1966 written on it. Presumably the date it was received by the radio station on it's initial release.

Del-Larks/mel Britt
The one Manship had at Cleethorpes all those years ago was for show only. If it had been a set-sale, I would have bought it that day. But John said it was going into his auction at a later date. When it finally appeared in his auction several months later, I spoke with John and put in what I thought was a very competitive bid, but ultimately it sold to someone else. I think John told me it was Keb Darge's copy, and I don't think it was a demo. The copy I eventually secured a couple of years later (and still own) is a black and silver DJ copy. I ended up getting it from a local New Jerey dealer and paid less than I bid on the copy Manship auctioned.

Damn Sam
I've had this record before. It is most definitely a late 60's or very early 70's production and release. I would lean towards 1969 as the likely year. There is no way this is from the 1980's or even the mid to late 70's.

Excels You've Fallen In Love - Grajon 101
It's about 90 miles from Allentown to NYC and it's the LONGEST 90 miles you'll ever drive. You should definitely leave 3 hours to drive from NY to Allentown. I need 2 hours from Hoboken, which is just across the river from NY. If you live in Brooklyn, add an hour just to get across Manhattan.

Connie Clark - My Sugar Baby (Joker)
While I don't normally rely on others to validate my own opinions on rarity/value, I certainly feel vindicated on this one.

It might make good kindling, as I understand Georgia's had a bit of a colder winter than usual...

Songwriters Bobby Flax And Lanny Lambert
Bobby Flax was based in NY. I met him about 10 years ago and bought a few copies of the MVP's from him. Very nice guy.

Skip Jackson - Any Similar-Sounding 45S Around?!?
I think Eldridge Holmes "Lovely Woman" on Deesu has a similar feel to the Skip Jackson record.
-
Connie Clark - My Sugar Baby (Joker)
Agreed! :-) Seriously, though. I think this is a much rarer record than others with a similar pricetag, and I'm surprised that this doesn't fetch more, particularly since other well-known classics have skyrocketed in recent years. Even taking into account the deflation of the last 2 years, 275 is still relatively cheap in my opinion. I suppose it could be that there just isn't much demand for it, but I really don't understand how this doesn't sell for much more.
-
Connie Clark - My Sugar Baby (Joker)
A valuation like that would imply to me that this is a relatively common record. In my experience it's not an easy record to find. In the 25 years I've been collecting, I only stumbled across it once and I bought it. Other records that sell for 275 or thereabouts appear on lists regularly. Where are all the copies of Connie Clark?
-
Connie Clark - My Sugar Baby (Joker)
I paid 300ukp for my mint copy from a UK seller at the Cleethorpes weekender 2 years ago. I thought that was a bargain. I reckon this record should be worth double that.

Benny Harper
Why would anyone think two people named Benny and Bernard, respectively, would be the same person? Surely Benny is "short" for Benjamin or Benedict or maybe even Benson, and Bernard is "long" for Bernie? I'm surprised no one has said Buddy Harper is the same as either of these other 2, just because his first name begins with a "B".

Seminoles - You Can Lump It
Isn't that a different record to the one he's looking for? I thought "You can lump it" only came out on Mid Town?

Who Was/is James Coit
I have an old issue of Record World from the mid 60's with a blurb about James Coit and a photo of him. As I recall, he was rather heavy-set.
