I just got this white label Linda Griner 45 in the mail today. It looks sort of suspicious. The vinyl is very thick and there's a lot of space in the dead wax, and the inner groove is sort of tight in the deadwax area (it spirals around for about 5 times in the deadwax). There are some letters not stamped in the deadwax, and they are half covered up by the label: DMV-020101. The envious side has DMV-020100, and before that it says "nashville matrix" in script (I can't tell if it's a stamp or not, but it is in smaller letters). There might have been a nashville matrix marking on the cruel love side that was covered up by the label (since the dead wax markings appear to be covered up by the label). Also, the center hole is sort of suspicious, or at least there is a bunch of wear around it. Here is a photo. Manship's bootleg guide doesn't list anything, but I'm scared this was a US repro or something (given that motown is collectable in the US)? Anyone have any opinion about authenticity:

I guess it could be an acetate, didn't think about it, I've never held it my hands. I DO know the guy that found the one copy in Chicago, though, I will try to ask him when I see him about it. I have to wait to see him because he doesn't even have a telephone, though!

always been hard to find but inexpensive when it turns up record. FANTASTIC 45.

never seen that mack simmons and i'm in chicago, that's hard. i have a pretty good random mack simmons 45 on biscayne, it has a northern sound.

there are 2 chuck bernard records on the chicago new breed.

the condors did come on sheldon. the flip is way better, "meet me halfway". Supposedly the jeanie and the gentlemen on limelight is the same release.

It's pretty obvious when sellers have shill bidders, I've seen it happen, but it's not that common. It's much harder to tell now that ebay is hiding the bidder history, so I think it will become more common. However, I agree. No one here should ever bid on ebay, it's a horrible place and you'll just get ripped off.

people not sniping and getting into bidding wars is what drives up the price, snipers generally keep prices down. Ebay would like to eliminate sniping (since they would get more money) but it can't because technically you can manually do the same thing by bidding last minute.

If you bid your true max, you would have won, wouldn't you, whether your sniped or not? Sniping programs are for people intelligent enough not to be trapped into the psychology of an auction, raising their max higher and higher than it would have been. I hate when two idiots get into a bidding war ahead of time. Here are the two sniping services I've used: www.auctionsniper.com www.bidnapper.com There are a few more. I'm a heavy bidder so I use bidnapper (which is pay-per-a-period-of-time) but auctionsniper is pay-per-snipe, which might be better for lower volume bidders. I hope more people use these, which should ultimately keep prices DOWN on records, which are ridiculously high already. Wish people would bid intelligently and I didn't have to use the program.

--> QUOTE(Geoff B @ Mar 31 2007, 04:18 PM) link Just arrived today,even though i can't think why it should have been booted it dosen't look like others i have on label.Would appreciate any help. looks like an original to me

also, this would have to be available on a US single since it's the title cut from Chuck's ABC LP

that song was originally done in new orleans by jesse hill, there's 9 billion covers of it, he even had his own follow up "Oogsy moo"

Hi Juddy. The chosen few on bandit and chosen few are identical recordings to the elvin spencer on twinight, BTW. They're rarer than the twinight record, though. The winner 45 is a different version and doesn't have the backing girls. I'm not sure which version the es cozy is.

I have most of the harder twinight titles at this point but still don't even have a personal copy of the majestic kind on twinight. There's an ultra-rare second majestic kind 45 on coin, just billed as "harrison", it's a terrible funk dance record called "pickin cotton." I don't have a personal copy of that either but have seen it.

Hey Derek, I think you would dig the COIN version of the song, it's totally different, more like a sweet soul thing than a northern thing, but sounds closer to the things you put on that 30-track CD.

plus you would have it had it much cheaper had it not been for me! sorry...

wow, i did not know that, I don't think i've seen the first scan you have up (I always see it as the second one). I will have to look out for it now! ps. I got the random single artist thing on Contact that I mentioned earlier in the thread. It is a record by Chuck Handy on the gold contact label. Both sides are crappy instrumentals, though. Thanks.

I'm really looking for this title (compacts on carla), will also trade on it if you want to trade. Also, some other wants: Ledgends "fool in love" on red balloon Lintons on Lock Sons of Darkness . how much I love you . on P&G Past, Present, and Future . If I could live for eternity on Rouser Fabulous Filtrations . Wait till I find her - on D-Clef

I doubt this is the philly first choice, the debonettes on merry is a east st. louis, IL group. I like the "choose me" side (I collect sweet soul).

It shows up now, thanks! It would still be better if you could send it to me (so it would be a bigger image than the fixed-size avatarr), but now I know it exists. I've never seen the domestic five or soul in-pressions records clean.

anyone have a copy to sell???

Hi Steve. I still see a car as your avatar? Any way you can send me the image? ps. not for sale, but I can record you my crackly copy of the domestic five in exchange if you need a recording. You're interested in the funky side and not the ballad, right? Thanks!

awesome, I look forward to seeing it

Also, here's one more that I have a listing for but have never seen, supposedly this is the lolo / calla / spectrum group. Does anyone have this? 7. Paramount 0235 - Top Shelf - Somebody tell her / it's a game
