Original Or Re-Issue (Aka Pressings) On Ebay
ebay has a specific procedure for reporting copyright infringement. any user can go through the "report" button and there is a different mechanism that allows copyright owners themselves to make claims. If they aren't ignoring the claims, I don't think they would be liable. It's not like it's ebay's job to monitor random message boards.

Oops, Does Anyone Read/edit This Tosh Or Is It Computer Generated?
It's the allmusic.com text, allmusic sells their information to other music-related sites. Either a person picked the wrong jackie lee or possibly it was done automatically (so it might sort of be "computer generated").

Private Press - What Does It Really Mean ?
I'm pretty sure it means the first thing in your list. I remember in 1995 some jazz collector describing to me what a "private press" LP was, basically a record produced and pressed on a personally funded independent label. The term isn't that descriptive for 45s as most were "private presses" (also there is no clear line as to how big a tiny label has to be before it becomes non-private). The term is more useful in describing LPs as non-major label.

Wanted Harvey & The Phenomenals - What Can I Do - Da-Wood
i have a double of the other 13th amendment 45 (same louisiana group), norman veal and the 13th amendment "that's me without you" on Whit. In my opinion much better than "hard to be in love". Also surprisingly hard to find (although definitely not as rare as "hard to be in love"). It's like a VG promo, I would want $15 on it. I think there's a random hiss for one revolution of the record (like a second or two).

Naughty Boy: Jackie Day
You're discounting a very detailed and specific webpage with personal photos because you think someone was too old to like soul music? You know older people (like Bobby Robinson) had rap record labels when rap came out, right? You don't think an old person can have a soul music label?

Naughty Boy: Jackie Day
Kev Roberts told me that Johnnie Cochran (yes, the OJ Simpson Johnny Cochran) was Jackie Day's boyfriend and he owned the label.

Starting New Soul Night In September In Minnesota - Need Help With Logo, Flyer
honestly, there are so many graphic designers out there not working that many will do it for free (or next to free) and you even offered some records as payment. If you can find an up and coming collector to do it I'm guessing you could do the trade.

Starting New Soul Night In September In Minnesota - Need Help With Logo, Flyer
also there are 9 billion unemployed graphic designers. if your partner is a young guy i would ask him to reach out to his friends, etc. Or is there a college near you? You might want to flyer the college anyways, maybe putting some initial worse looking flyers there with contact info will get you some people who are or who know graphic designers.

Wanted Sass - I Only Wanted To Love You
this came out on 2 labels, 20th century and I.N.S. the I.N.S. press is the original label and it is longer than the 20th century version (which is already like 4 minutes).

Fabulous 3 + 1 Vs. Fabulous Denos
Hopefully someone from the ace/kent camp that did the liner notes to one of the king comps has info on this. The fabulous denos did the song "bad girl" and so did the fabulous 3 + 1 (I know lee moses also did it...). Anyways, are the fabulous dinos possibly the same group as the fabulous 3 + 1 (with one less member)? Has anyone ever asked Tommy Brown (T+L label owner) about this? I actually remember emailing him about it long ago and him giving me his number to call and getting busy and never calling him. Thanks a lot.

Rare Soul Collecting In 50 Years Time - Is This The Future?
I did not say that vinyl sales have increased since their peak in popularity. I said that they have increased steadily for the last 10 years, which is after they fell off, and obviously much less than their peak. Here is a graph I stole from another message board:

Right Combination
Hi. Can anyone post a scan of the Right Combination on malaco? I remember it was on ebay but it's not in popsike. Does anyone know if this is the same group as on SOH / TRC / Gold Mind? If so, is the group from memphis or jackson, MS (or elsewhere)? Thanks in advance.

The Biggest Insult On Here
I honestly wasn't trying to and this was in "freebasing"! Nowhere in my original post did I say (or even imply) not to play original vinyl or say playing boots was bad. I was just pointing out something that seemed (clearly to me) silly. p.s. you know you kept reading all 5 pages because you like car crashes. admit it you enjoyed it.

also, all other vinyl-based genres like rap, dance, etc. have moved to mp3s and Serato but not soul music for some reason

Tony Clarke The Entertainer
Thanks. I guess it was the first stereo version available on the 45 and (as you point out), they probably didn't remix it for the 45. I've definitely seen some other later chess presses that ended up differently mixed than the originals. It probably is just due to sloppiness and choosing a random master rather than an intentional thing.

Fixing Warped 45's
I've never done it myself but sent it to someone who does it (using an oven technique). Had good success with some, a few came out worse and I wish I hadn't sent them. If I do it again I'm sending it to someone who has a vinyl dewarper machine, as I imagine I would get more consistent results.

Rare Soul Collecting In 50 Years Time - Is This The Future?
I don't really care to get into an actual discussion about this, but I just wanted to say that records are getting more and more hip with younger people, who are buying LPs, I think sales have increased every year for the past ten years (something like doubled) and that's just counting sales that are tracked. A few years ago I was one of the people predicting the collapse of the vinyl market and the demise of "soul music". Now my outlook has completely changed. I think what happened a few years ago was that there was a bubble with insane overinflated prices and now the market has made a correction. But NOT that the market is collapsing and going to drop more and more. Now I'm seeing a generation younger than me getting into 45 collecting and paying lots of money for records. Records that you used to be able to get but now are scarce are constantly becoming in demand. The changing of northern tastes to "funky" tracks actually made the music much more accessible to younger people and created convergence with the funk scene for example. Most major cities in the US has some sort of soul dance night where tons of hipsters come to dance to the music. And that didn't really happen say, 15 years ago. I was worried because I thought it would be like doowop where everyone who was into it got old and the market crashed leaving nobody who cared about doowop (despite doowop collectors thinking their music is as universal as soul music collectors think their music is). But what's happening is that soul music is proving to have much more longevity where younger people are still getting into it. 50 years from now you still will be able to buy turntables.

Tony Clarke The Entertainer
Some of the all platinum presses (I think they actually acquired GRT which had previously acquired chess) are totally different mixes actually, as they released stereo mixes sometimes of stuff that was only mono. I have a billy stewart "I do love you" that is stereo on the later press.

Just Won Flowers "we Can Make It Happen" On Lax For .99P On Ebay! Then It All Went Wrong
If the dude apologized and refunded, I also wouldn't have left a negative. I was saying to negative based on him keeping the money and lying. I did leave a negative over a record I won for $50 recently when the seller told me they broke it and then it appeared 2 days later as a buy-it-now for much more than $50. and the seller was being greedy as it wasn't worth more than $50.
