there is no US press on atlantic is there?

i've encountered several examples of records that supposedly skipped and were either trashed or repressed, according to the artists. I think that in some cases the grooves were not cut well (e.g. if you look under a microscope they come too close to each other at some points). On an older turntable with heavy tracking force the record would skip forward sometimes, but it is hard to reproduce on a modern turntable with regular tracking force.

if I'm understanding him correctly, Barry wasn't talking about the most expensive label to run the catalog of, he was saying that given one specific title, add up the selling price of all the copies and find the "most expensive" record that way. For example, if there are two copies of a record that sell for $20,000 each, that is less expensive than 1000 copies of a record that sell for $200 each.

I think the "set" provides the context for a record and a good record can sound crappy or a strange record can sound amazing in the right context. I don't understand how this context can be achieved if there's no continuity because the DJ goes on the mic and announces each song before it plays (which apparently happens at some northern DJ events?).

I know you're not being serious, but the purpose of the pressing is to replicate what looks like a 60s UK pressing; not to give the users the actual functionality of the self-dinkable centers.

I agree, these records were all sold in a short period of time for a lot of money so they appear to be overall very valuable in quantity, but 200 copies of a rare record doesn't compare to some records where there were clearly 1000s of copies around and now command real money.

I do know that when people turn up quantity of something they often try to hide the number of copies they have, but in this case we're talking about records that were everywhere, there would be no way to hold them back somehow. My addition would be the exits "under the street lamp." For some reason Just Loving You never turns up in Chicago but all the other Ruby Andrews 45s do.

ALthough I was being a smartass above, seriously, what cobblestone label 45 is the one in question here? I can think of at least two very rare northern records on the label. Thanks.

i posted the writers from US copyright docs above

this is the copyright entry which shows the writers. obviously they falsely claimed music / arrangement, or maybe it was copyrighted with some other music originally. LOVE POWER; w & arr. Scott McKay, m Tom Story. 2 p. © Sam Coplin, d.b.a. Sam Coplin Music; 19Jun68; EU59478.

that was one of the records he had stolen, I don't think he was able to replace it

you own a cobblestone?

i vaguely have some connection to you getting the little ceasar by telling the dude (who I talked to first) just to sell it to you. You should totally give me a shout out.

Thanks so much. It's much more obvious in real life that the font is not an original 60s/early 70s font. Thanks again.

I can't tell whether this is a serious post or not

a beat, poorly listed marva lee went for over $150 on ebay the other day: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Northern-Soul-45-Marva-Lee-If-You-Cant-Be-True-ATCO-HEAR-BOTH-SIDES-/170907817340?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item27cae6557c i think ever since the record was written up in "there's that beat" people have been looking for it and it doesn't turn up often

probably because you're logged on and viewing a specific mix already or something like that

you didn't link a specific mix, just the mixcloud site

is a M+ record so clean that it cleans records that are adjacent to it?

OK, I am posting this list for a friend. I will vouch for his grading, it is conservative. I previously posted a list for him and there was an issue where he didn't respond to everyone's emails inquiring about already sold items. He promised me that he would respond to all emails this time. If you are interested in any of these items, do NOT pm or contact me, email him at gaelin@sbcglobal.net you can PM me if you can't get a response though, if something is trapped in his spam filter I can call him and tell him about your message. But I'm not handling his actual sales in any way. Thank you. -------- Dynamic Corvettes "Keep Off The Grass/It's A Trap" on ru-jac. The record is in excellent condition $600.

all the records in this collection had the stamp of the owner. books low in manship. either way no big deal.

i know about tax scam labels, etc. but I think pikey is probably right in this case. either way, i left positive feedback for the seller, not the end of the world and i got two other records that weren't fake

The font looks funnier in real life. I thought lolo was related to calla? for example, that top shelf 45 came out on both labels. what would the motivation be for calla to legally or not press it in the mid-70s?

I just got this record in the mail: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140833081182 obviously it wouldn't have been booted for the northern scene but was there any weird repress for, say, the deep soul scene? There is nothing mentioned in manship guide vol 5 and the record's value is listed. The font looks funny in real life and (as visible in the picture) the label is small and doesn't fully cover the wax where the label goes. Deadwax only has L1203A and L1203B hand scratched in it. Any info would be appreciated. I'm probably being overly suspicious, the font and weird label size is sort of disturbing though. Thanks for any help.

I'll give you 20 pounds for a broken melody 45
