sorry again for what happened to you george

yeah, but some things are a needle in a haystack. i feel like it's obnoxious if you have put a lot of effort into finding some semi-known thing for your collection and then have it advertised to many people.

agree, total idiots

I personally hate when people post up live ebay auctions that people here might want to bid on. The exceptions are a) really stupid listings, like delusional sellers or overpriced boots b) auctions that have have ended c) well listed holy grail items that people will see anyways so that the posts here won't make a real difference in the price or d) buy it nows. either way, my opinion doesn't matter because nobody is going to add this rule anytime soon.

I have one of these (unless I sold it already). It was mint. Will try to look through the boxes soon.

I just laugh and move on. It is sad if the seller got burned themselves and paid a zillion dollars for the record. it usually just looks like greed.

there are lots of 70s records on RCA that are extremely difficult to find as stock copies with a different b-side (which always seem to be better for some reason).

i have the enith 45 if you want a scan, don't have the accent 45 with or without a pic cover

I don't see the comparison much, the primes record is really messy and muddy (it's good though).

I agree that the record grade is buried in his auctions and hard to find. That seller is a nice guy though.

there is a nice sweet side on this record. the chicago Essence told me there was a name conflict with a girl group, I assume they were talking about this one. They said Red Foxx managed the girl group.

The accent record comes with a pic sleeve. I've seen it a couple times with it but didn't care at the time, now I don't have the accent 45 because I don't want to buy it without the pic sleeve. Their best 45 IMO is Scepter 12115 - walkin' with pride / cooperation. two good sides. Lots of the other stuff is throwaway for me. Let love win is another decent one.

i also never understood how there are multiple versions of ultra-rare records. for example, what about the two young brothers on soul power?

this doesn't look like a bootleg, it looks like a legit reissue (although I haven't personally confirmed the legitimacy of license, etc.)

also, i do buy crap

if anyone has a copy of this on red balloon im interested

ok i heard it now. it does sound like the same usage dylan brought up. i guess slang goes back farther than you think sometimes and sometimes goes in and out of style. i don't know the history of the word sorry.

the female one sounds familiar. is it slow or fast and does it sound early 60s, late 60s, early 70s,late 70s, etc.?

It's funny, I just got the el corols on rouser in a trade 2 days ago. I never heard the other side before (which is marked the a-side). While I agree with jocko that overall both sides are weak, the a-side is more of a real song and more listenable. It's also uptempo, I don't understand why people don't play that side... probably because chick chick is more danceable or for historical reasons. Also, compared to the tiny release I think it's very different, I think the second label pressing exists probably to release a different version of the a-side and not a slightly edited version of chick chick. Anyways, to each his own, but personally I would never play the chick chick side but think the other side is okay enough to play on my radio show at least. re: marvin gaye, I just listened to "not unsual" in this youtube video: I missed the part where he says he's going to kill it, can you give me the time. What's funny though is in the comments someone says that marvin "killed it" which is the original usage posted by dylan.

I wonder what "mary lou williams"'s involvement in this was -- was she the bandleader? and is leon thomas the same guy as the flying dutchman leon thomas?

cheap for a clean copy of the ringleaders

Happy new year Mats, I hope you continue to put in time digging up quality tracks (that I have almost never heard of...) this year and hope you have a good year in general.

i really wouldn't use joy lovejoy as an example. she sounds like she could be a pop singer or a country singer from her vocals. it definitely a typical example of a soul singer at least.

it is the same group. this record was on guyden in 1963. "put your loving arms" was their last record from 1967. I think at least some if not all of them were daughters of joe cook.

on chicago radio, they don't play cleanup woman but play the live version of tonight is the night.
