I agree, still need one if someone has one to sell

both sides are great

I just compared all 3 versions. The worst is the Thelma Lindsey -- while still good, her voice is sort of "blah" and she sort of sounds thrown over a backing track. Cynthia has a really nice voice but it's in Barbara's voice works better with the track. On the Cynthia and Thelma versions, the backing voices are mixed higher but on the Barbara version there is more actual harmony.

I just got this 45. It's so good! IMO it's easily the best version of "why weren't you there" and the flip is nice too.

I swear I have that jungle rock and don't remember it being that good, I had just put it away. Digging it out now. That is an awesome psychedelic sound

yeah, I don't think any of the sites are the same, just that sellers list multiple places

also lots of the stuff on gemm ... last two times i tried to buy on musicstack i got an "item no longer available" response which was very annoying and which sort of turns me off of the site.

Best male version by far is by the Dontells. The Monticellos version is good too.

penguins are the best

james brown was the king of this

thanks so much for the feedback I appreciate it. I never heard the mas-tok record before. I do have a double of the cha-tok record though if someone wants to buy or trade.

bem sole is an awesome label design

whoa, never noticed that. it kind of looks like a toucan

you never responded to my PM to you from your last list

plus it has penguins which is always a big positive

There is another really nice version of this by the DeDe turner happening on yodi. There was an awesome photo of the bagdads on ebay a while ago, they were all wearing turbans.

although I regret contributing to the 9 billionth version of this thread, all of his ads are really ads for his store. You should report every item as listing practices -> gratuitous text.

also on the original label

which sterphonics tracks? I have the cha-tok record but not the mas-tok.

yes?

i have no idea, both of the label owners have passed. Maybe for tax reasons? Maybe to look like they have a bigger set of labels than they really do (like motown's mowest)? Sorry I don't know.

he didn't pose at the end!

another reason the sure shot label was awesome was that it had the two guns on it and don robey was famous for supposedly having two guns on him all the time

another totally awesome one is the cap-city label with the color drawing with the washington monument (I know there were a bunch of cap-city label designs but that one was amazing).

it is the ledgends on red balloon. red balloon was a chicago label but they put LA on it for some unknown reason.
