hi. are you a member or related to a member of the group? I can send you a scan of a photo I have if you need it.

why do people on this thread keep making this argument? this is not an argument, this is the whole point, it shouldn't be worth more than a few bucks, and someone paying a lot more probably doesn't know what they are doing. you're right no one would have blinked an eyelid if it went for minimum, the point isn't that someone bought a carver, it's that they paid a ridiculous amount for the carver.

it's good but it's a common $20 record, there are buy it now copies sitting on ebay for $30

it's definitely a 60s chicago press, same fonts as the creations on blue label globe or light blue zodiac for example

thanks, I just found your comment in the previous thread here: are you saying one person did all the vocals with overdubs or just that John Miles was the lead singer? Is John Miles this person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Miles_(musician)? I'm not in the UK so I'm not familiar with him. Thanks.

the two releases have different catalog numbers, first they did the ballad and then they went back to the studio and redid it as a "disco" version. the catalog numbers are sequential.

It's not the brunswick group, I interviewed them, none of those are the members and this group was formed in 1974 or 1975 according to the video. The brunswick group was from Gary, IN. Thanks for the suggestion though. Does anyone else know if this is the group that recorded on epic and wb UK? Thanks in advance.

the link is red actually. i never noticed the time differences, I wonder if they actually are different or the labels are just different. I will check mine and try to play them to compare tomorrow.

I just checked my shelf. I have red vinyl (exactly as pictured above), red styrene (no scepter mention), and orange two-tone label vinyl. I have never personally seen the scepter one.

the orange label is the styrene press, red is the vinyl (I think I also have a red styrene but have never seen an orange vinyl).

your record looks very real. i'm sure manship meant that the boot b-side has the manhattans on it.

i just rated this a 10 because i enjoy how much drama on here it caused

the forevers are the same group as kitty and the haywoods, btw

is this the Epic (UK) group: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=119056244798350 if so, crazy that one of the chilites was in the group. can anyone confirm that this is the realistics that recorded on UK labels? the years make sense and it's not the brunswick group.

I think it's legit. They did the innervision CD that just came out: https://www.outtasight.co.uk/

i see the hands one more often in chicago

people request the ember furniture song on my radio show, richard pegue produced it and it got played on the radio as an ad a lot, he used to play it on his radio show. lots of people in chicago remember that song.

it's tom wilson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Wilson_(producer)

i doubt they index the memorabilia categories so it must just be stuff that was listed in records. i can't believe how much that inxs photo went for, that can't even be that rare (maybe just because of the autographs).

popsike lists publicity photos, and if so, how did you search for them? i typed in publicity photo and got 4 items, which i assume were things that happened to be listed in records (2 of the 4 were LPs that came with photos).

the most i've previously seen a publicity photo go for on ebay was maybe $400. i don't look that hard though.

so a visitors photo just ended on ebay and I know the high bidder, I will try to get a scan from him for ray: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170504971958

it's an 80s example but there is the budweiser showdown series which was a band contest that was run by budweiser and the flip of every record had an advertisement for the radio station. also, different business put out records so the record was advertising, for example, didn't the freddie houston soft walking single come with a pic sleeve from a shoe store? another shoe store record was the circulations on hess, hess was a shoe store chain in baltimore.

thanks again for listening.
