_{looking at dirt/biro removal. Label intact}

post a scan, i might be able to do that for you

I can do simple fixes, cleans, fill-ins, even removing pen and marker in some cases. I can't do a heavily stained label with tears with text missing. Anyways, here is the estimate:

haha, i recently got a quote from a professional art restorer to restore a relatively simply designed but water damaged label. I would post the actual quote but I don't want it circulating with my name on it, but the quote was $3500.

At that price I'm sure the vinyl / styrene would not be damaged.

Can't believe how many different labels he recorded on - Peritone, Back Beat, Quazar, Red Sun, Yellow Horizon, Feron, Mercury, Paradise, Phil LA Of Soul, Jetstream, Fair Play, Sophie + some others that I can't remember at the moment

he had an extremely long career -- early '60s to '90s

less than 1 copy pressed

Robb, there were at least 6 groups called "just us".

"Our own thing entertainment BMI" was based in LA as of 1980.

yeah, the pacesetters backing is used for something else, can't think of it right now, some other willie hoskins thing. Here is the show I just posted, a flashback to 1/21/2007:

https://www.sittinginthepark.com/1-21-2007.mp3?

it's very rare and a DJable record? 

did this to see what soul records were on the label, about 1/3 of the label is soul. posting just to share since it seems complete:

The flip of the Phantom is written by Cliff Chambers for what it's worth. It doesn't sound like him either. Voices have wide ranges but accents are harder to fake. The accent is pretty exact on Ervin Rucker, although the voice doesn't exactly match.

also, i have the stock copy of the other boobie knight, wish i had bid on that one

lots of great stuff at cheap prices on that list, stuff i paid more for in worse condition.

ANY dishing will affect play, so don't agree with anything saying "slight dish - NAP"

depends on how sensitive your stereo / ear is.

pen is easier to clean than marker (with certain exceptions where the marker is on certain paper types). neither is super easy to clean though, I usually leave them alone.

also done by ray pettis on exodus

the grier brothers + one other singer are the capris on nanticoke who are also the same group as the broad street gang. just random info.

EDIT: from philadelphia

i listened to a bunch of ervin rucker 45s on youtube. unfortunately a lot are sped up and slowed down. this is the closest one vocally i could find (but it has noise reduction that renders it unlistenable):

the accent is the same at least

wow thanks a lot. i see you sold an ervin rucker 45, do you have more info on him / connections to him? I checked out this video:

the southern accent is much closer, but the voice doesn't exactly match. But the youtube video could have been sped up / slowed down.

i don't know, i don't collect the label and only have a couple things on it. i just was trying to clean up the discography.

everyone on the internet is saying that this record by "The Phantom" is sonny craver:

https://www.popsike.com/Northern-Soul-Funk-THE-PHANTOM-Come-Back-To-Me-Uh-Huh-Ohyeah-Karisma-HEAR/180809095207.html

here is audio:

the record is produced by sonny craver. Does anyone have any actual evidence of this besides speculation and everyone copying everyone else's information? Listening to this record and comparing it to other sonny craver 45s I guess it's possible but on other 45s Sonny Craver has a deeper voice and less of a southern accent. The more I listen the less I think it's Sonny Craver and instead an internet rumor. Anyone have any actual substantiating evidence (e.g. something concrete saying that Sonny Craver went by that pseudonym or an interview with Sonny himself?). I also don't see why he would produce the record and randomly make up the pseudonym for this one record. Thanks in advance for any info on this.

I can look up almost any of these in copyright and get like an exact date it was copyrighted but it takes a ridiculous amount of time pre-1978 because you have to go through the books.

Thanks a lot! Troy also confirmed this. Other collectors confirmed that they knew of no other numbers (obviously that doesn't prove that no other ones exist, just that if they do, they are not "known" by VA collectors). The only thing someone would need to do to improve the discography is to check which ones are DPG vs. D.P.G. and give completely accurate label credits (e.g. the band is credited on most of the tracks). Thanks again.

ok, here is my new attempt to clean this up. correct full credits and label names with / without the periods are still not there. if someone with the nationals could say whether there is a -9 on one side and a different number on the other that would help. one collector told me this looks complete, although obviously there could be a very rare missing number.

edit, also some of the credits are still not 100% correct above (e.g. with the band, etc.) and some of the labels are DPG and some are D.P.G.

I reached out to some VA collectors to see if they have any additions. Here is a cleaned up version of the discography. I don't think any records credit "frog" (haven't found a photo at least) and think all cases are sellers making typos / mistakes.

the lenis guess on 1007 is 1007-1. i'm guessing the flip is 1007-2
