  1. but there was a totally different deep soul version of the track released on 45 by Shirley Wahls.
  2. I'd imagine someone would know something about this as it was a disco hit. Unless it was just a studio creation. Here is a pic of the single: https://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2321831 It's not even on youtube, I think probably because of copyright
  3. Thanks everyone for the info about the Polydor Chosen Few, I really appreciate it. Anybody know anything about the Detours? Seems like the kind of thing Ian Dewhirst would know. Thanks in advance.
  4. Yeah, Bonnie Brown is the guy that called me, thanks. There are 4 polydor singles: 2058 661 You Mean Everything To Me / Yes It Won't Be Long (75) 2058 721 I Can Make Your Dreams Come True / Pretty Face (76) 2058 752 Young And Foolish / Miracle Worker (76) 2058 872 Thank You / Part 2 (77) I have all 4 if you need a recording of one of them. Thanks.
  5. I know there were a lot of groups with that name. But if the Polydor UK group was from Jamaica it would have to be the same group as on Konduko because they were pretty famous in Jamaica. Do you have any info on the UK Polydor group? not really related, the lead singer of the Chosen Few called me from Jamaica to thank me for playing his Konduko record on the radio, it was crazy. He was super nice.
  6. There were 4 Chosen few 45s on UK Polydor, 2 on Ariola Hansa, and an EP on Newman. A couple of the cuts are nice sweet soul. Do you know if they're the Jamaican group or not? Aren't you a reggae person? Thanks for your help.
  7. Hi. I'm hoping someone could help me with some information about two groups that cut records on UK labels. There was a group called the Chosen Few that cut records on UK Polydor and a couple other labels. Someone told me that this might be the Jamaican group (who also cut records on Konduko, Crystal, and were the backing group for Derrick Harriot). Is this true? If not, does anyone have any info about the UK Chosen Few? Second is actually not a group on a UK label, but a group that is from (or at least produced in) the UK. There was a record (I think it was a minor hit even???) by a group called the Detours, it was released on US MCA around 1977. On the record it says it's a UK production. Does anyone have any info on this group? thanks in advance for any info. thanks, Bob
  8. Sorry I never responded, I want to thank everyone for responding with info. What prompted the question was getting the Dial 45, it's very much in the same style of "when push comes to shove". Listening more the voices don't sound that similar, I guess it was just the weird similarity in style of the song that made me think they might be the same person. Thanks again.
  9. I just got this from a seller in Jamaica. I already had one more Jamaican bootleg that I got him to cancel the auction on (it was a bootleg of some bo kirkland ruth davis track, with totally different artist names and credits, etc.). This record sounds just like steve mancha, I thought it did before I looked at it and saw the writing credits. If it is a Jamaican bootleg where did they get this unreleased song? An acetate?
  10. it's hard to find, doesn't come up for sale a lot
  11. The second one was vinyl btw.
  12. I've blind bought records for over $100 because the label looked cool. I win some and lose some but overall am ahead. The last thing I got burned on was a 45 by "switch" on an ohio label from 1986. The R&B group was from ohio and their last record was like '85 so I assumed it had to be a final, unknown indie production of the group. It ended up being a hard rock record. It cost me $60 which sucked.
  13. Do you know what shipping service he used? I'm not sure I even know one that would take 8-10 weeks to deliver anything overseas, unless it was some freight thing or something.
  14. no they're not, "try a little love" just got reused. 3 of the members were later in the ultimates on br-roma, one of the other members was in the segments of time. "try a little love" is the enchanted five singing.
  15. Thanks. I'm 100% sure there used to be this option so it might have been removed or might be some hard-to-find option. I haven't had a paypal dispute in a very long time ... and not because I haven't been screwed on a transaction, that happens on a daily basis. The main reason I haven't had to do a paypal dispute is that sellers know that paypal will issue a refund so it's in their interests to work with you. Thanks for providing more updated info.
  16. as someone already mentioned above, if the record is there in real life and costs $1, I'm buying it blind, not wasting time listening on a turntable
  17. you'll probably get the next one for $20
  18. every day on ebay there are lots of records that are completely ungoogleable and definitely not on youtube. some of those records end up being very good soul records.
  19. this is assuming people act rationally and know what they want to pay, and removes the psychological element of the auction and getting outbid
  20. any time you haven't received records by 45 days you should open up a paypal dispute. the dispute isn't a chargeback yet, it just lets you communicate with the seller and if that fails escalate the dispute to a full claim. you should definitely get the dispute in in the window of time you have. you will have more time to escalate it at that point if you decide to.
  21. you can (or at least used to be able to) do a paypal chargeback for excessive shipping cost
  22. Does anyone know if these two singers are really the same person? I hate just speculating like this but they have very similar voices which itself is very distinctive. Thanks for any ideas.
  23. also, he has a really nice 70s rare groove 45 on 20th century under the name electric city
  24. Johnny Ross was a member of Baby Huey and the Babysitters. He had awesome photos at his house of the Babysitters posing next to a military tank.
  25. I have a large original boxing style globe poster of the significant's revue, who were from st petersburg FL
