  1. yeah he claims it got stolen from him when he went to some convention to promote the record. But that doesn't violate the "OVO" code, it was pressed in like '75.
  2. I live on ebay. Have you seen the movie Videodrome? My life is like that but with ebay instead of videodrome. p.s. I don't think this will go away soon, it's been like this for years
  3. Just to be clear, Dutch LP, right? I have a Cane and Abel 45, "girl you move me", on canadian GRT. That is their only 45 right?
  4. I think it's "Rockway Jay". at some point I'm not sure how much I care about the originals if reissues were pressed from the same plates and have very similar labels and there are like 5 variations of originals. People have to spend tons of time documenting all the different ones, often based on speculation that turns out to be wrong. If there's no 100% sure way to determine if a record is original (other than it turning up in old stock / someone's basement that hasn't been touched since the 70s) I don't see the point in jumping through hoops to make sure you have "OVO" on that title.
  5. is the cane and abel on 45 or LP only? If on 45 what country? Thanks.
  6. Also, I just realized, this is the record that they just reissued on a brown label that I was asking about buying wholesale. I was trying to buy copies because the "down and out" side is good sweet soul. If you look at the Cole 45, "down and out" is the a-side. They just redid "gold of my life" as a random b-side. So it's not as bad as some people are making it out to be.
  7. I think the constant reworking and repressing of different versions over the span of years is a sad story, it indicates a producer who is obsessed with a song and who believes it is good enough to be a hit, investing money over and over into it. I like the mixed emotions cut but it's clearly not good enough to be any sort of popular hit record. If you heard the song, even the "good" version (whichever that is), a hundred times of the radio you would have become tired of it a long time before.
  8. if you get a bid in, go to advanced search, search by bidder, search the items you bid on, click "completed auctions" and make sure "only auctions I was high bidder on" is unchecked, hit "search". every auction you bid on will be listed along with the unmasked ID of the high bidder.
  9. send me a link to the item, maybe i know who won it
  10. I sent you the instructions how to do it. But you have to have gotten a bid on the item in to do it. Did you?
  11. just a bidding war, 2 bidders. it may or may not result in the seller getting paid, but either way it will be a 1-time price.
  12. i partially take back the "not crazy" thing. They had a 45 BIN for $25. I asked (his kid who is doing the sales) if they had a wholesale price he could offer so I could buy to resell. He said he could sell it for $20 and dropped the BIN price on the actual ebay auction to $20. I was just like "that's not less then you're selling it for and even if it was nobody could make a profit reselling at that price." They clearly could make more if they actually sent their records to distributors for a reasonable price and sell many copies vs. selling themselves via expensive ebay BINs. Also, if you get the CD they put out, it looks awesome, the cover looks like a karaoke CD.
  13. It's funny imagining the mailman standing there holding both sides of the mailer and trying really hard to crack it. I had a mint copy of tony daniels on beval that was packed in a new 45 mailer with filler pads where the box actually got crushed on one end and the record cracked. The seller had sent it insured on his own costs and even said he would handle the insurance claim on his end (since I have the worst post office ever). Then he sent me another copy of the record that he had. Great service.
  14. this happens to me frequently. 45 sellers should be sending records in a rigid package that won't bend so it's not totally not their fault.
  15. I do think that the DSRs have made a huge difference in grading and gotten lots of crappy sellers off ebay. I do think that negatives don't matter any more to ebay, just the DSRs. The problem is that it's not really anonymous and if a seller sees you left a low DSR they will just block you. I refuse to leave any DSRs if I can't leave negative ones, it's pointless.
  16. there is no limit to the amount of delusional sellers on ebay
  17. in the last two weeks I have gotten 3 "I broke it while packing it" stories, always asked for a photo, never got one. It's frustrating because although the seller deserves to be punished or reported, they might come up with something you really need later, bid high enough so that it's not "broken" and win. And there's no way to prove that they're lying.
  18. sounds like arthur conley "sweet soul music"
  19. I have no idea about this specific reissue but it doesn't look like the 80s jamie guyden reissues which were styrene and had darker looking labels.
  20. OK I look forward to it. One piece of advice -- if there's a quality sweet soul side, put it on the flip of the northern side you're reissuing. There are a lot of new hardcore sweet soul collectors who will buy overseas releases, the average collector is desperately struggling to get ahold of new material (which on the UK scene seems mainly the area of the DJs). Make sure to promote both sides. Thanks.
  21. are you doing reissues, issues of previously unreleased material, or releasing new material? If not new material, are you focusing on a specific decade or set of years? I'm always excited to hear new material. EDIT: I mean unreleased old material...
  22. thanks for clarifying, sorry I misunderstood your post.
  23. I wasn't part of the scene so I was commenting that it was amusing that a crappy white disco cover of a labelle song would be important at some point in time. Obviously there is a lot more context that I'm missing and it could be very important to some people in some situations at some point in their lives. Someone questioned that it was a cover so I looked into it. On the other hand, you can't seem to respond to anyone without a totally insulting pretentious attitude. Also, I'm still not part of "the scene" so you probably shouldn't take my postings on an internet message board as indicative of anything.
  24. also, one more thing, this is a copyright renewal entry which references the original '74 entry which was only written by Nolan and Crewe. Sometimes people are left off the label but the actual copyright record is probably correct. Type of Work: Music Registration Number / Date: RE0000852879 / 2002-01-02 Renewal registration for: EP0000320361 / 1974-01-21 Title: Lady Marmalade. Notes: Words & music. Copyright Claimant: Bob Crewe & Kenny Nolan (A) Names: Crewe, Bob Nolan, Kenny
  25. or maybe I'm misreading your post and you're saying he's NOT McEachin?
