I saw that, he doesn't say where he got it. Either way, some odd things show up in different places. Maybe he will answer your questions, it doesn't look that odd to me though. Also, most red and black audiodisc acetates I've seen / had are early-to-mid 60s, are later ones usually like that -- most later ones I have or have seen aren't red and black (they also usually don't have a label like that though).

the seller is tommy potts, he's a collector and he's on here, asking how a new orleans record got to him in california is like asking how a new orleans record got to the UK

jim porter was involved with the david martin record also. it also came out twice on jay pee. i think they are 3 different versions. david martin was the lead singer of the chymes, the girls on the rekord record are his sisters.

it is the same group, it's 2 of the CODs plus Stormy (who recorded on twinight). You can hear the interview on my webpage (www.sittinginthepark.com/interviews.html).

Ron Murphy's story was that there was only a test press of 6 copies. If that's the case, they probably didn't go on to destroy anything, and it's not unlikely that only 2-3 survived.

Thanks everyone. Do you have a link to the forum discussion on van jones, I'm interesting in finding out more, I think I have almost all his 45s. I think the Fred Moss is the same group as the perfections on big b, F. Moss has writing credits on the perfections 45 and his voice sounds the same. I think the "got to get my broom out" was about clearing out his past and not about anything dirtier. The Unity I played was from New Jersey, produced by Fred White, same guy behind the Decisions. It has a good 70s northern side that I'll play on another show. Thanks.

plus when did "the stylistics" become an insult?

I like how their only feedback is pretty much from buying a "learn how to sell on ebay" CD, plus that fake flowers seller was also from small town illinois, which is suspicious if the photo on this also isn't original.

it keeps coming up so it has gone down. craig moorer seems to have a lot that he'll never sell because he has 4 figures on it. i hope it goes down more though.

I like the "next time he'll be good" 45 on perception also. The lp also has a nice version of cindy and the playmates on kemp.

which eight minutes 45s are you talking about? there are a bunch and there are 2 on perception. anyways, the eight minutes are good, I'm not sure what track you're talking about.

jim porter had a deal with perception, he previously took the eight minutes to the label.

Velvet is from Chicago, the Quadraphonics are from Milwaukee, there is no connection between the groups. Harvey Scales managed the Quadraphonics. I haven't confirmed this, but I think Velvet evolved out of the Flairs.

Hi. I didn't do an interview today which means I did an all music radio show. I played a lot of really nice obscure records. At the end of my show I also did a focus remembering Dee Dee Warwick, who died last week. Dee Dee was one of the greatest and most underrated female voices in soul music. You can listen to my show at: https://www.sittinginthepark.com/10-26-2008.mp3 Playlist follows. Thanks for your interest.

thanks. i have a copy which was dead mint when I got it (from this insane guy, his apartment was filled with strange antiques and a large shelf of lps that i'm sure he bought new and never played and kept mint), it's probably close to the same condition now. if someone wants to offer me a trade for it (e.g. in the line of group soul -- northern or ballad, or obscure chicago soul), that would work.

what are the recent ebay prices?

i can't tell you anything about this except that I don't think it's common because i would remember seeing it. bizarre record, almost country sounding. in fact, because of the sound, I would say that even as a rare record, it would still be available somewhere like gemm.com but it's not, so maybe that's an indication of its rarity?

i think i have another innerversion logo record but i would have to dig them out

maybe the seller will screw up and accidentally ship to you?

it didn't go to the UK, same US winner as the junior mccants

Thanks, I always preferred the late motown and abc material to their early motown. I always thought motown promoted them as a pop group.

i think his name is on the impact 45 on full scale but I don't have the 45. I have the mystique 45 on washington hit makers, I can see if his name is on that. Did you contact Kevin of dcsoulrecordings.com?

almost anyone I've ever talked to that has been contacted by someone from the UK has always been told "my record is number one in England!" What kind of a stupid hustle is that? I guess it gets people excited at least. A funny one was James Dockery, first he was contacted about the Rokk 45, then later about one of his solo 45s. He was like first the Rokk record was #1 in England, then my other record went #1.

i think it must actually be early 70s because the larry dixon is like #501 and I think says 1971 on it (again this is all from my memory, I would have to go home to check). Either way, it's not common or known, I guess it could be valuable if people picked up on it.

i have the 504 number you mention, it's a funk instrumental, right? I can't remember it now, I will have to check when I get home (something like the "sounds of" something?). Nothing is really common on the label. The larry dixon "this time" is the only sort of valuable record on the label. I'm not sure it's a custom label as Dave mentions though, but it might be.
