Different record from the Chess one, which has Herb Kent rapping on it. This one has vocals by the Big O, whoever that is. Backing track is the same, I'm pretty sure...and also appears a third time, on "The Buzzard Lope" by Gabriel...

Curious about the "estate" remark above. Has Nelson Sanders died?

Promo copy. Stone killer beautiful midtempo ballad with heavy drums; flip is a decent northern stormer. VG++ (essentially a new unplayed copy with just a couple light storage marks that don't affect play), $60 plus shipping from U.S.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSVAC6nvfjQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwA9F2LH6oI

Here he does a very straight version of the Ohio Players' Capitol single "Here Today and Gone Tomorrow" in 1974.

The blue-green one above was pressed for the Pittsburgh market, I believe. The sound on these is fantastic....Was it a legit repress made by or with the approval of Harvey Fuqua? Flip is Challengers III. More info on white promos:

Blues Palmer with Jimmy Coe Trio, Misery Is Gone Pt. 1/Pt. 2 (Intro). Beautiful barely played M- copy with just a slight hint of the beginning of ring wear on label, barely noticeable. $175 U.S. includes standard shipping anywhere. Paypal personal payment. Clips readily available on Youtube.

Looking for a shiny minter, promo or stock. Thanks.

I'm Gonna Get Your Thing is a remake of his own I'm Gonna Get You, released on Swan under the name Leroy Harris. I prefer that one.

The Correc-tone sides are completely different recordings from the Ric-Tic and Sonbert ones.

Ugh, sorry I haven't done this yet!!! It would be much easier if I had a scanner.

Thanks, Mats!

Saw it in New York on Sunday. It's really good! It's still looking for a distributor so is festival-only for the time being.

Hi, gang. I took a kind of left-field approach to yesterday's Toussaint tribute on my radio show. Hope you enjoy. Playlist and listening links here: https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/63590

I agree that the Alvin Robinson is much darker, but not in the ways you mean, I think. His vocal delivery, for one thing, is much more "adult" and lascivious-sounding than the Coasters' lighthearted comical take. As others have noted, though...yeah, you're watching too much True Detective. The "Sunday mass" bit is just an inspired extension, really, of the couplet that comes before it ("Every time you monkey, child, you take my breath away/Every time you move like that, I've got to get down and pray"), not a threat of murder. Also, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to surmise that listeners are supposed to think "ass" when they hear "fiberglass" and "mass." This country-bumpkin-up-north-in-the-big-city theme is a common one in songs of the era, though the only other one I can think of at the moment is Young Jessie's "My Country Cousin": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGYEPufQPd4 Plenty of black families who'd migrated from the South still had family members down there, and these songs brilliantly mine humor from the very real contrast in lifestyles (in the days before American culture was depressingly homogenized).
