what is in the deadwax of your copy? I can pull out my original and tell you if it matches.

I bought the Pat Hervey 45 on ebay (kind of weak in my opinion) and the (Canadian) seller said the Tiaras were backing. I asked how he knew and he said he was working with them on some project or something.

I've heard those are really good

different group, that group is the LA group that also recorded on Dore. There also is an unrelated group that recorded two records on Valiant, and a detroit group produced by Dale Warren called the Tiares on Leona.

John: given the personal nature of this information, could you please link to the source when you post something like this? You should probably do it with other webpages of info instead of just straight copying the text in many different posts. But something like this is a sensitive issue and I think it's even more important that people verify the source in this case. Thanks.

Because I live in Chicago, have a very large chicago collection, know most of the Chicago records I don't have (although there always are new ones I'm finding about, mostly from the 80s though), have looked through other large chicago collections of other collectors, have talked to members of the Lintons, and actively look for and discover records I don't know daily. It could be a typo that made its way into his system. Does it have the same catalog number? If so, definitely a typo. if not, maybe worth investigating. There is another very rare record on essica by the sharpees that nobody knows about so there is a possible connection. There's always stuff popping up that nobody knew existed before, so I can't say 100%, but I can say 99%

The internet is 100% true in Canada. The New Sound 45 is a Benton Harbor, MI record. It's about twice as far from Detroit to Toronto. I guess it's possible with more evidence than "a canadian website". The Op Art group do have another single on the New Music label.

3 versions of "whatever's your sign you got to be mine" (bobby franklin, the hustlers, prophecy). Prophecy's followup "betcha can't guess my sign".

I've talked to Larry Cunningham, super nice dude

I think I'm getting confused where he was talking about the CODs. Either way, he said he had a white label of it.

I can get you Larry's phone number if you want.

I mentioned the bernie hayes above. Sorry I have not had time to respond with more info in more detail. I know Larry Blasingaine. He was also in the band for the Chicago SoulTrip USA (although none of the participants probably knew it... one of the marlynns was on drums and Bernard Reed was on Bass).

lots of instances like that. two people with money want something, both bidding high, and something going for stupid money. I'm seen $50 records go for $750+ before. I know that seller, btw, he is a conservative grader.

i would send you a recording of the cosmos 45 but it was mastered off my 45 so i don't think you would want it. the original doesn't really sound different to me.

if it were the other soul walkers i'd buy it as an upgrade right away. both 45s always show up trashed.

Very sad. I interviewed Sam on the radio in 2008. He was a super nice guy.

I actually always thought this and was confused and then listened again recently and decided he's singing about a girl with that name

Ady Pierce told me that he had a white label promo copy. The first time I was at Lucky's house Anderson called while I was there which was funny. Apparently he was the first person to get him to sell 45s and got crazy stuff from his basement (which is lined with shelves). Now that place is so picked that you won't find a record that will be worth money in five years, let alone a record that is valuable now. Either way Lucky is a super nice guy.

I honestly think that it was far more subversive / successful for gay artists to have non-explicit songs that either didn't mention gender at all or that had coded messages. think about what massive success frankie goes to hollywood "relax" was about and then look at the uncensored hardcore video version of the song. they seriously were much more successful in getting themselves out there by not being explicit. it was like a joke on the world and the people that were in on it knew anyways.

The other woman is I think an unrelated person named Joan Hughes.

there's a pic sleeve of the fortune release, it's him and two girls

I think he got it from a warehouse in Chicago

I don't know, not my problem.

is he the dude on philly groove? I still need a stock copy of that since the promo is a mono/stereo
