Sebastian comes through with the knowledge. The french CD must have booted it off the goldmine CD.

sure. but ending up on a "northern soul" bootleg from france, it must have some physical history that someone knows, as they didn't get the track from a master tape probably.

actually I remember it was really cheap on manship's site for a long time after I played it, like 20 (or maybe 40) pounds.

FINALLY I'm getting my props. Actually, although I do play a lot of unknown stuff I bought blind, the Archie Williams was known to funk collectors, etc. before I played it. There is a rare and weird pressing of it with a small hole that plays at 33rpm (still 7") and has a pic sleeve.

I asked a big french girl group collector and he didn't know it.

I don't know what else to say except I'm really really sorry about you and your wife's health; I hope you recover quickly and I greatly appreciate you taking the time to take these photos (awesome) despite everything you're dealing with. Thank you.

I think what happened relates to stale data / caching. ebay changed the category ID, but some stale data might have been tagged with the old category ID (for example).

clearly nobody who has posted so far in the thread has a copy. it's not in the manship guide or the tim brown guide. googling makes it look like the sort of track that was unreleased and on a CD. However, it does show up on a french CD but that CD looks like bootlegs so unless it's bootlegged off of another CD it does exist in some form. It's not in popsike or collectors frenzy. Can someone who is on spectropop ask there and repost here? That seems like the only hope unless someone here who hasn't posted yet knows.

I think that's the result of sweet soul collectors going crazy

it's not, it's a 70s modern thing

yeah benji i also saw the 45 last night in your sale list when i checked.

here is what the united pressing ones look like just for reference:

united record pressing does them, they started a couple years ago: https://www.urpressing.com/7inch.php unfortunately, there have been some quality control issues with stuff coming out of their plant recently

ok this is the info. apparently the soul city are related to or possibly the same group as the royal robins on tru-glo-town: my friend messaged George Payton but didn't get a response edit: go to the video and look at the comments

Actually I think someone gave me some info recently, I have to check my emails.

ebay is a complicated distributed system with lots of redundancy, etc. It always was true that when you initially did a listing, the auction might show up by itself but not show up under items for sale by seller. It always eventually fixed itself. Has to be the result of some cached data getting stale and only later updated.

whoa, i heard this same story with this same record happened to a US DJ, he said it got run over by a fedex truck. crazy if two copies of cheating kind got ruined by postal mishandling.

I tried to clean a little mildew off the label of this yesterday (my personal copy). Ended up with this.

Dropped this on the floor a month or two ago and it broke into pieces. This record never comes up for sale: Surprisingly this came up for sale on the second label (modern) and I ended up replacing it / getting it on that label (it also never comes up for sale on modern). Wish I still had it on the original local label though. I screwed up a record bad today, will take a photo.

there are three of them in a photo and it sounds like 3 voices (one lead, two backup) on the tracks (I didn't listen to all their cuts), so probably not? https://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/L/lamp_sisters/index.php

I collect female soul groups and have *never* heard of this. So it's either very rare, or it's doowop, or it's white spectorish type music. Do you have a link to audio?

I love how there's the 45 in card sleeves without regular paper sleeves that I'm always complaining about.

Bee Jays on Prime is a duo if you listen to it

Batman at the gogo stock sold well in chicago. If you ever find a copy in the city it's most likely a pink "batman" copy. The promos were just what were imported to the UK and there was no stock left of the original title to export.
