I actually haven't ever seen one with that sticker...

mine doesn't have that

I wasn't disputing your theories about whether it was a studio group or not, just responding to your comment about why there would be a group name on a record that only had a solo singer. thanks.

I don't think they make any explicit promise of anonyminity and what they show and don't show has constantly changed. They also have other policies that are inconsistent (for example, DSRs are supposed to be anonymous but at the same time they gave sellers a user-by-user report of DSR scores).

ok I see this now, thanks for the tip!

is this the one where the other side credits "Hal" or some other artist? I might have an extra copy if that's it, I would have to look.

how do you see this? This would be useful.

if you don't use soul source a lot, it might be a while before you log on and you might not notice the tiny red number in the upper right hand part of the screen. I agree it's probably a BS excuse many times though.

In my experience, Butler's "a dream" shows up on a cream colored boo label (same design) more often than the red. Sorry I have no artist info for you.

if there is a record with a single singer with no backing group where a group name is credited, it's usually the name of a band

while I don't condone this behavior at all, it is easy to miss PMs if you don't use soul source a lot as the new defaults are set up to not email you at each PM. Also, if you get more than one PM it's easy to miss. p.s. Rod, sorry about your tits

thanks, someone else mentioned this gemm item to me too. now for years I'll be wondering if it was a mistake on gemm or if a real different record exists.

Definitely not Chicago. The names on the record are all Los Angeles.

what color is the label on the pat and the blenders? because all the stock copies i've seen with "candy man" on them have had a white label also (which is weird), was wondering if it comes in a black label.

I have one and it showed up in that condition. I don't think it's ever been on ebay. I think I got it less than what it goes for on the open market, especially since I got the Bob Miner-talks-down-the-dealer price.

Actually I just thought of one that annoyed me recently. I bought (years ago from a UK seller) a copy of the tran-sisters on pickwick city. I played it and both sides were some male rock group. I assumed that this was a totally unrelated group to the imperial group. I'd seen several others come up for sale and was like "look at those idiots buying that rock record". Then on ebay recently one comes up and sells for over $1000! I then figured out that my copy was a mispress and real copies do have the female group. I was so pissed. I think the $1000+ was a fluke, probably two rich lou reed / VU collectors bidding to win as he had something to do with the record.

this record is rare, but it's very rare on a black stock copy, most copies are white label

I posted this before in another thread, but I have a copy of joe anderson "you and i" that plays nazereth "love hurts". It's funny because it's very jarring to hear. I have a crappy chicago rock single that plays an awesome sweet soul record instead of the rock single (definitely mispress as the rock single exists as the single) and I have absolutely no idea what it is.

either way, that charmels "please uncle sam" is one of my favorite female group soul releases

I am talking about DJing. If someone just getting into northern soul decides to become a DJ, they probably won't know much more than the snake and mel britt and the main "canon" of the genre. They wouldn't even know to try to dig deeper. Someone collecting can buy anything, cheap or expensive, I don't care. Anyways, I've said enough on this topic, and I'm not even on "the scene", I think we would be just going back and forth at this point.

makes sense to me

if you contact the seller and ask if they'll ship express mail you would get it in time. definitely not cheap though.

I definitely did not know this, how can you tell the boot from the og?
