rare ohio sweet soul funk -- ebony expressions "farewell my love" / "mighty generation" on owl. this is the same youngstown group as the mighty generation on b-e-r record is basically unplayed stock, "mighty generation" side is VG+ due to sleeve wear. unfortunately "farewell my love" is VG- due to about 10 ugly non-feelable marks. the marks cause some ticks at places. here is a high bitrate stereo recording from a sensitive turntable of the whole track: https://www.sittinginthepark.com/ebonyexpressions.mp3 $225 + shipping. Email me at boba (at) panix.com to reserve. Thanks

sahara "the wind"? just guessing

that saints title is hard

I know i commented before, but that clear yellow vinyl is cool to see, i've never seen it on that record before

I love their other record, sir dane and darius, the ballad side "we shouldn't have to break up"

I have a question about a specific mala number 12037. Here it is listed as Pieces of Eight - Double shot of my baby's love / pt. 2 https://www.45cat.com/record/m12037 here it is listed as Pieces of Eight - Double Shot / Strange things are happening Does anyone know which listing is correct? Does it come both ways? I checked my shelf and only have their other mala title, don't have this one, and can't find records of sales. thanks in advance.

thank you i appreciate it

i bet if more soul artists were named ivar you would

you also have to manually escalate the dispute to a claim to get your money. As long as you file the dispute within 45 days though you're fine, you can escalate any time before the dispute closes.

I thought it was weird the first time I found that the karate group was different. But I think in popular culture, "eric" is a viking name, so it's not that much of a stretch for a group leader named eric to name his group the vikings.

thanks so much, it was a mistake since it's not the soul group. i have the eric and the vikings on karate, which is a rock record, maybe they're related or maybe they were two rock groups (as it's not very raw sounding as you describe the zip record to be).

Hi. i am looking at an eric and the vikings discography and I see the following: Zip 102167 - Eric and the Vikings - Chinese Soul / ? anyone have any idea what this is? is this some sort of mistake? thanks in advance.

I hate phantom titles, I spend years chasing things that don't exist.

thanks again for listening, i really appreciate it

have you successfully opened up a paypal case against someone you non-trackably shipped to where the package was supposedly lost?

i thought that was reasonable. i would have bid on it had i not already spent way too much money recently. i wouldn't want to pay higher than the max bid though.

I think off-center copies are usually one-off pressing errors. Are there entire runs of off-center records? like from a miscalibrated machine or something?

if you send an insulting or threatening message to anyone on ebay they can hit the report button and ebay will send you a warning (if it's your first time) or take more actions... it's actually more rewarding to provoke someone else into insulting you so you can report them. i know all of this from experience

let me follow up on what i was saying. I was not saying this change is bad or disagreeing that the labels that paid for the work should not continue to earn (and hopefully pay) royalties. My only point was that the benefit of these laws most of the time go to the labels and not the artists. the article i was talking about in the NYT (I will try to find it) was talking about something much more radical, saying that master rights should revert back to the artists after a certain number of years. I'm not sure I agree with that but it was an interesting twist on ownership.

Nightrider888 hasn't been an ebay user since 2003

what is his ebay ID? you can search to see if it's on people's blocked bidder lists

also you should be able to find his local post office using his address / zip code

is it possible to email a us post office? i've never heard of that before. I found an email form on the USPS website but I can't find a way to contact a specific post office.

I must be confused. I swear I saw a shout title where the number didn't fit into any of the shout discographies. Maybe I was wrong. I apologize if I confused anyone else.

I understand that artists like to bitch about not getting paid when they may have been paid, but I've definitely seen enough cases of artists not getting paid master royalties and having to chase down larger labels that I don't think it's "nonsense". One thing that compounds the problem is a catalog being sold and resold, they definitely don't try very hard to keep good records of their contracts with artists over the recordings and pay. With publishing, obviously song catalogs also get sold and resold (and obviously many publishers also don't pay) but at least the songs have a much closer tie to the writer as they're always credited and BMI will pay the writers share directly.
