Question About Two Uk Label Groups (Chosen Few And Detours)
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

Question About Two Uk Label Groups (Chosen Few And Detours)
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.

Question About Two Uk Label Groups (Chosen Few And Detours)
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.

Question About Two Uk Label Groups (Chosen Few And Detours)
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.

Question About Two Uk Label Groups (Chosen Few And Detours)
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

Len Wade Vs. Willie Wade
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.

So Who Exactly Was John L. Brown?
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?

Buying Blind
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.

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.

Enchanted Five
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.

Ebay Advice
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.

Buying Blind
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

Who's The Seller?
you'll probably get the next one for $20

Buying Blind
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.

Bidding On Ebay And Lose?
this is assuming people act rationally and know what they want to pay, and removes the psychological element of the auction and getting outbid

Missing 45S From The States
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.

you can (or at least used to be able to) do a paypal chargeback for excessive shipping cost

Len Wade Vs. Willie Wade
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.
