if you don't want to risk it I can clean it for a fee. also can fix skips, clean up labels, etc. can fix deep scratches too but it takes an extremely long time.

it's not an issue with your computer. Ebay is a large system that has to be highly distributed because no one server could handle the millions of users. That means that data gets replicated and cached across different servers and a server can potentially have stale data if it hasn't been updated. I really doubt this specific problem still exists, it probably only existed a few hours after the ID change. They really probably should have restarted or flushed the cache of the replicating servers at the time the ID changed happened to prevent this issue.

fyi, j r johnson is also jay r johnson on hawk. he said he recorded some R&B thing on atomic-h under a different name (and had an awesome 50s photo) but didn't remember the name. his cousin was menard rogers.

no what happened was that they changed the category ID but some servers had stale data and was either filtering on the old ID or didn't have the updated item listings with the new ID

I also 100% agree that you need to use a microfiber cloth. Anything else leaves gunk in the grooves which you will see on your stylus when playing back the record. I used to buy them at auto accessory stores but recently found that home depot (hardware store) has 24 packs for $10.

Just wanna say that all the suggestions in the thread are safe EXCEPT I would not use WD-40, it pretty much stays in the grooves forever and gives it a fake sheen. Also, it was a warning, but I would also emphasize not to use Acetone (nail polish remover).

Jack Montgomery was a hit in Chicago. I used to find it in 10 cent bins at different stores because they didn't know some random singer on scepter (a mostly pop label) would be anything.

Hi. I moved this to events because it's a promotional video and playlists for an event. The point of the thread is not the video and it would be bad if the audio/video section got filled up with promotional videos. Thank you.

no, other people have more background but have asked me about it. i have had multiple people ask me for a copy of the 45 and several people insisting that it does exist. I am really into collecting stang/turbo/all platinum/vibration/etc. but there is so much weird rare stuff on the label that it's very possible some weird press exists. you'd think it would be on someone's DJ playlist at this point though.

Hi. I just did another music show; it is a nice mix of girl groups, early soul, and male and female sweet soul from different decades. You can listen to the show at https://www.sittinginthepark.com/9-23-2012.mp3? You can listen to other shows and interviews with Chicago groups by going to my main page www.sittinginthepark.com.

crap

I'm pretty sure both sides got radio play. It's crazy though because I just searched musicstack, gemm, discogs, and ebay and there are very few Maze 45s for sale at all. The ones for sale are random titles people don't care about. Maybe someone is cornering the Maze market.

there is controversy as to whether it exists on 45 or not

no, I'm pretty sure I'm the first person to think of it right now

those sound like great people to hit up for records!

i think teddy vann's bazillion uses of the frankie and the classicals "what should I do" backing has been established here as the most backing track recycling

I'm so glad I don't live somewhere where I have to potentially see this commercial

for what it's worth, I never had any problems dealing with andy

I think at least one of those tracks was written by Kenny Jones of the Flairs / Velvet. He had gone to LA and was a writer for smokey at that time, I think only one of his tracks was released but he named some more tracks and those sound familiar at least.

that is not an unreasonable price for an original of that LP

hues corporation "rock the boat" was a huge hit. too bad every other record they released (except maybe the first funky one on liberty) is terrible

The plates aren't the only issue, the vinyl and labels (including the paper for the labels) are also very hard to replicate. An expert could maybe do it but someone who produced one or two records isn't going to be an expert record counterfeiter or even understand the importance and detail involved in fooling collectors. We've had this argument before based on a discussion you had with Peter Brown. Even if you believe him, he's an expert at pressing and repressing records and understands the collecting market.

there is no shortage of delusional sellers on ebay.

it is very hard to press up the record now and have it look like it did in the '70s

This isn't a northern record, sweet soul people are looking for it. That said, I think it's mediocre sweet soul. It is rare. I think it was totally unknown until Joe Giattino got ahold of and sold a bunch of copies like 5-6 years ago, it wasn't expensive then, that must have been all the copies.
