as a side note, if I had a million dollar bill I would spend it all on 45s

it charted nationally on billboard R&B, it was bob lee's only hit record ever.

volcanic eruption is 2002 not 2006

soul generations track is a slow 70s ballad.

If someone is arguing that it's just thematically the same, that's a common theme in love songs. For example, the soul generation's biggest hit was a totally different record called "million dollars" talking about how if the guy had a million dollars he would spend it all on his girl. musically the record is not the same.

comes up occasionally, used to be around in quantity, for example, the wax museum used to have and probably still has some (along with the statlers on sue for example, but this is more common).

If a promoter wants to contact Eula I can get contact info from the Numero people.

it would have been awesome if you listed any record that was somehow related to stones or rocks or pebbles though

the carpets were a kansas city group that recorded on federal (doowop) and then evolved into the group on ViJ / Show Me (soul). Gadson was in the federal version of the group.

he was originally from kansas city and a member of the original version of the carpets before he went to la

This record is very hard to find, only seen it for sale a few times, I got a beat up copy. Someone had it on ebay recently with a high start.

the whole thing that Dave Brown told me is that they did NOT have a connection to the trammps or volcanos and that that is a long standing rumor and that he got his info from John Madera somehow. I'm just relaying info, you could email him for more details if you want, I don't have a first-hand source on this.

isn't the bob stone record on jive? i'm confused now, this is a different label you guys are talking about than earnest jackson, right?

sure, i meant a reference to them, sorry for not stating that well.

for upstate new york maybe you guys want to look at: https://www.newyorksoulrecordings.com/ only half the listings ever got put up though

oh wait, I do know him, he emailed me saying he liked my show. well it's all good now, haha.

he already got negatived from selling non-record items with other people's photos (e.g. sold an old piece of equipment with a new photo). maybe he needs to invest in a scanner if he really has all those records. I still don't see any feedback on him from recent record sales.

I don't know, it's a big country . His myspace lists him as "sir matthew fox", do you know who that is?

once I posted a big want list here and then found some german guy stole the entire list and posted like a few of their wants under it on their myspace page, which was funny. i got most of the items on it since anyways (but not from here!).

i like how the okki nokki ad says the "VIP" in italics, like they're trying to confused the buyer with the VPI... the VPI is the most well known (at least in the US) vacuum record cleaning system, probably followed by the nitty gritty. the other two things (the one in the original post and the one you link) look similar. They all work the same way I guess. I think they're all more ideal for cleaning LPs anyways, I personally think I get can 45s cleaner by hand.

I can scan both sides of the chargers (very hard on issue) if you still need it by tonight. My scanner is putting a blue line on each image, though, so I don't know if you can take it out or not (I'm going to get a new one in a few days). Dave Brown told me that the Chargers are the same group as the moods on wand / red dog and that they actually have no relation to the volcanoes as previously rumored.

Hi. Today on my radio show I interviewed Barbara Green. Barbara was from Argo, IL (a suburb adjacent to the southwest side of Chicago, now known as Summit, IL). Barbara started singing at an early age, after her Godmother, Lorenza Brown Porter (a founding member of the Argo Singers gospel group), let Barbara sing at a fashion show when she was only 6 years old. When Barbara was 13, Lorenza took her to Vee Jay records. Barbara auditioned for James Bracken and signed with the label, ending up recording only a few days later. In the session, Barbara recorded 4 sides, all backed by the Dells. Her first single, "Young boy", was finally released on Vee Jay's Vivid records subsidiary after Barbara turned 14. The track had a great "Hello Stranger"-inspired sound (due to similar production and the same backing singers as on Barbara Lewis' single), and became an R&B and pop hit. Barbara did local shows and record hops to promote the record. Vivid records released a second single, "Our love is no secret now" / "A lover's plea" as a follow-up, but the record received little promotion. Unbeknownst to Barbara, the two singles were also released on Renee records out of Philadelphia. Vee Jay records soon went out of business and Barbara stopped recording to focus on her high school studies. After high school, Barbara studied music and performed in local clubs, but never recorded again. She is currently a teacher in Milwaukee.

the version everyone in the US knows is gladys knight, great track.

thanks for listening. you could actually theoretically listen live to the show and interact with the people by calling up, the radio station actually streams live at www.whpk.org. But the time difference is pretty bad (7:30PM chicago time = 1:30AM UK time I think). I have booked interviews every single week through the middle of January so far. Today I'm doing Barbara Greene ("young boy"), but it's on the phone so you couldn't actually call up since the phone would be busy. Most of the other weeks for the rest of the year people are actually coming into the studio though. I don't like to announce the schedule ahead of time because every time I do people seem to cancel or the radio station breaks down, etc. But if someone wants to know my interview schedule they can PM me. Thanks.

looks like a VPI copy
