no problem, I just thought it was funny. sorry if i made you look bad, that wasn't really my intention. thanks.

This was a big hit on double shot. This has to be a local press or a reissue or bootleg.

Has anyone ever had / seen this record: 1814 – The Temprees – Mr Cool, That Ain’t Cool / Lovin’ You Is So Easy It's in the we produce discographies and I have all the numbers on the label but have never seen this one. I'm not sure it exists. Anyone? thanks, Bob

is that like how I answered your message about the 13th amendment and then you never responded and deleted the thread?

pete, maybe the policy has changed since your experience, but my experience with it is pretty recent and you can send "personal" payments with a credit card or bank account withdrawal. I never have any money in my paypal account and I've done it twice in the last week. It's also not called "gift" anymore.

don't really have any answers, but the annie laurie track, while it sounds exactly the same, has different lyrics and it's called "nobody's going to hurt you". don't know if someone was ripping someone else off. Also don't know who Gwinny Witherspoon is but her voice sounds just like Annie Laurie's.

haha. I had something similar happen to me recently ... chicago didn't experience a hurricane but we did have these weird intense storms that in my neighborhood even had golf ball size hail. i got a stack of packages and every single mailer was soaked through so that they were completely flexible. it had just happened that morning when the mail lady got caught in the rain, though, so I was able to take out all the records and dry them, i got lucky and none were damaged.

Robb, I think the HBR / Liberty four gents are from Flint and are NOT the same group as on Encore. There used to be a webpage for the HBR group that gave group membership also (can't find it now but I do find another page talking about Frank from Flint): Frank Randall, Sherwood Pea, George Early, Ronald Cooley. There are also no common names between the Encore records and HBR / Liberty records. Do you have any evidence that they are the same group besides both being from Michigan? Thanks.

Yes I have. Sorry I wasn't clear.

I am in the USA and have sent money as "personal" (it's not called gift anymore) to people in the UK and Japan. There is an option to choose who pays the fees. The fees are higher if you use a credit card vs. bank account, but you can use a credit card.

it's possible she did a personal payment (gift) but chose the seller to pay the fees

another thing that happens with the internet is that it makes rare records available for sale as people specifically know to put those records up for auction. but other records that are just as rare might never come up for sale and take years to find just because dealers don't know to auction them. they might still change hands locally for cheap. so in a sense, it's not really making rare records less rare so much as making "known" rare records more available. I do agree that the internet has proven that some previously-though-to-be-rare records aren't as rare though. Just making the point that seeing something for sale a bunch of times doesn't prove that it's not rare.

what I was trying to say in my first response was that, at least from the scans and pictures, the label colors are not necessarily different

The only record I'm into on HBR is Gerri Diamond "mama you forgot"

thanks, interesting ... also didn't know that bit about malcolm x...

haha, I never noticed before that a Polish guy produced this

Ok I didn't notice that. That really seems to be the only difference, label variations like that are common across releases even at the same pressing plant. Thanks.

while there may be different labels, what are you noticing that's different about those? They are all different scans / pictures which can look different due to scanners, cameras, lighting, etc. Those don't look that different to me.

Don't know if they're all in the UK, but in Chicago they don't really turn up except the first one, "you stood me up".

A bunch of random old soul guys are in Barbershop, just because it has a lot of older Chicago guys in it. One of the Mandells and one of the Auditions are in it for example. I wouldn't be surprised if more soul guys were in it.

About a year ago I decided to tell every seller who sent a 45 with terrible packaging (e.g. often in bubble wrap) about how to pack a 45. I did it super politely and left positive feedback first. It just pissed people off. I think if you're buying from someone you don't know (especially someone who doesn't look like a seasoned 45 seller), you should add a polite note to your payment about packaging.

so apparently I was wrong and the a-1 and listening post group are the same group, and the groups are both from texas

thanks a lot, I have two more years anniversary shows since this one and many many shows, check the link. thanks.

I can't tell, are you still joking here?
