    The "Won't You Let Me Know" side is a cover of J.J. Barnes on Rich/Kable, oddly. The flip is a widely recorded blues standard whose best-known version is probably by Willie Cobbs. Yet both sides of the Gene Thompson single credit the Counts as writers! I don't know anything about the identities of Gene or the Counts.

    Chalky beat me to the Marvin Gaye "It's a Bitter Pill to Swallow" track from MPG...but side 2 of that album is basically ALL great mid- to uptempo tracks unreleased on 45. "It Don't Take Much to Keep Me" and "Try My True Love" are other standouts.

    Wow, that RPM Records spot has been completely dry for years....Last hit I had there was maybe 4 years ago...found a nice mint Latin boogaloo thing and some oddball instrumentals and popcorn. Somebody should tell this poor guy he's wasting his time looking for big known northern there. Surprised even a beat-up $20 Carl Carlton record was still there....

    One thing I don't think I've seen mentioned in discussions of the desirability/rarity of Palmer vs. La Beat and stock vs. promo is this: All La Beat copies, stock and promo, play with a weird thump/skip/glitch sound a couple of seconds into "I Am Nothing." Palmer copies do not.

    At first I thought it was just my La Beat stock copy. Then I listened to one on youtube and thought WAIT, DID THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS VIDEO OWN MY COPY PREVIOUSLY?? Then I poked around and found that, as i said above, all La Beat copies have this audio flaw.

    It can be heard at 0:05 in this video.

    Tony Middleton, To the Ends of the Earth/Don't Ever Leave Me (M-G-M stock)

    Condition: M-. Looks like it's never been played. Only flaw is the messy bb hole shown in photo. You won't find a cleaner copy.

    $500 U.S. (the rough equivalent is £400 as of today) plus shipping from New York.

    Yes Matt. One time you were there, I was too. You were sampling away and played Alice Clark - Hit Me. I hoped you were going to leave it but it went in your stack to take away. The experience made me put Alice Clark towards the top of the Wants List and it was soon ticked off.

    Wow!! Stock copy, as I recall. I ended up trading that to Greg Tormo. Wish I still had it.

    Superclean M- copy of Billy Prophet, What Can I Do/Sad Sam (Sue) up for grabs. Basically looks as new as when it left the pressing plant. 

    I will cover shipping anywhere from the U.S. via USPS Priority Express (which now costs around $75, ouch!).

    Asking $1,200 all in, payment via paypal in U.S. dollars. (Last I looked, that was equal to about 940 pounds sterling, but of course the exchange rate fluctuates.) I prefer Friends and Family; if you'd rather do it as Goods and Services, I ask that you add $48 (4 percent) to cover fees.

    I'm based in NYC, and though I haven't sold much on this forum, many members can vouch for my honesty.

    This guy has a long history of complaints against him. Check out the Vinyl Vigilante group on Facebook for many, many examples. He ripped off a good friend of mine for a multi-thousand-dollar record recently that he probably never had a copy of. His MO seems to be to pump up his positive feedback with cheapish sales, then lower the boom on the occasional unsuspecting victim by selling a big-ticket item that doesn't exist.

    My two cents, as someone who has had and enjoyed most of the records in question for years: Elbie Parker's voice sounds nothing like Bobby Parker's. If not for the coincidence of the name similarity, no one hearing their records could ever be talked into thinking they're the same person.
