this is totally unrelated but your post reminded me of this... did you know there's a chuck colbert production on crackerjack? It's duke hunter "nose trouble". Also, he has that Kitty Love on Dade which is weird. An excello title adds to the random labels he's licensed to.

craig moerer has it for $350. I guess it's going onto the search list. I think I have that uptown down south CD that the track is apparently on, I will try to dig it out to check it out. Thanks again.

no, I totally forgot sorry, I just did a search to find out what you were referring to. I will see if I can find the bennie shaw record cheap now, if not, I'll put it on my search list. Thanks for the tip.

I frequently also get stuck in the anals of soul music (I'm not making fun of you, I am just easily amused)

Did you read my post? It specifically acknowledges the same names on the pat thomas and I give a possible explanation. Also, you don't have an explanation about how the sue 45 was released in '63 and the pat thomas was released in '64. Baby Washington was released 12/63. Pat Thomas was released in 1964 according to this discography: https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/verve.htm A discography could make a mistake with a date but not when it's surrounded by a bunch of 1964 dates. Additionally, even if you are totally correct about which was first, Baby Washington's record was the hit.

it's funny because he has an actually expensive garage 45 for sale (still priced way too high), while this record should be 25 cents in this condition.

does it look good in the image file on your computer before you upload it, or does it already look bad there?

yeah, it's weird because it looks mint from the picture, glad he was honest

yeah, I thought it was cheap too but then I read that it was "priced low due to condition."

Shrine records are all styrene, not vinyl. I think polystyrene is much more flammable actually.

I definitely have boxes of garbage records that should be burned. Too expensive to ship though.

well I would need to find two of them... I like these threads because they're so collector oriented. I post them and never get any helpful info though because I can never find anybody currently obsessing over some random label or artist in the same way. The worst are records that are in all the discographies but don't exist. And all the discographies copy from each other.

I know this doesn't help much as you seem to be more advanced / laser focused on the impressions than I am, but I checked my shelf and had none of these.

some nice records in there. that papa and the utopians is a rare and nice bay area sweet soul record at a cheap price (probably on youtube if someone wants to hear it).

I keep losing this on ebay. Goes for $150-$200 there, there are a couple in popsike.

I'm pretty sure Joe Quarterman was a member. I didn't bid more victoriously because it's not exactly my sound but I want to collect it. When I bid high and george bid high it sucks though, has happened a few times.

the only things I can think of that it might be is maybe they meant Masterpiece on YPSI... and there is that carol anderson song masterplan. I know it's definitely not the bay area group.

I think you have to try with many more records. Maybe like a whole box or a whole shelf or something. Report back!

yeah, all the little joe roman stock must have ended up there i guess

sure, a certain temperature will make the vinyl not solid and start bending. but a higher temperature (probably more than you could achieve with your lighter) will make the vinyl catch on fire. Look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_acetate There is something called the "autoignition temperature" and it's 427 celsius. Admittedly I'm not a scientist and could be misinterpreting that, but you would have to heat up the vinyl very hot to 427 degrees before it caught fire.

Robb, I can't imagine the boxes of this weren't trashed or destroyed. If a collector that was still alive had boxes of them, they would definitely make it to market now. In what case could the boxes be sitting somewhere now but not distributed? I don't think there's some warehouse that has boxes and boxes of 45s that nobody has been through.

which masterplan group are you talking about??? thanks.

George: please stop outbidding me. Thank you. ... actually in this case my bid didn't even go through because some other people had already bid higher. if you know those other people, please also tell them to stop outbidding me.

they also had a record on capitol. the la ro ke record credits the "camotions" but it's the same group. They were from philadelphia and Colly Williams was the male member.

do you have a scanner hooked up to your computer? if so just put the record on the scanner and scan it. If not, then you can't do label scans (you can take a pic from most camera phones and send to your computer though).
