Now, HERE'S a record with someone else's name on it that sounds like Don Gardner:

Cash waiting for a nice clean copy. Please tell me total price with shipping to U.S. Thanks.

Shep on "Fool to Fool" sounds absolutely nothing like Don Gardner to my ears. Then again, Shep on "Fool to Fool" sounds nothing like Shep on "I'm Sitting In." I'm not convinced that's the same singer on both sides of that record. I could be convinced that the "I'm Sitting In" Shep is Don Gardner, but not the "Fool to Fool" Shep. If that's Don Gardner singing "Fool to Fool," I'll eat my hat.

Come on, Bob, you never heard of Dexys Midnight Runners?

Cash waiting. Send me total including shipping to U.S., please. Thanks.

Ha.

Yes, Richard. "I'm Lonely" is surely in my all-time top ten (or so).

Ha, by "flip over" I meant "turn over and play the B-side."

Wow wow wow! I recently flipped over Herb Johnson "I'm So Glad" and the Four Perfections "I'm Not Strong Enough" for the first time and played them at my DJ night out of curiosity...Now I may never flip 'em back! What else should I flip over?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArEM3pfFk7A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsDw-Cx3huY&feature=related

Well, I can assure you that the UK press played in the clip you can't listen to doesn't have the same glitch right at the beginning of the song that the clip you posted above does. Neither does my American copy, which I played on the radio here: https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/14092 Click on realaudio link; "Walking Up..." comes up around 58:08. But my copy DOES have the glitch on the word "greet," as yours does as 0:54. Strange!

Huh? I just listened to it for the third time!

Here's Willie Tee on U.K. Atlantic without any discernible glitch at the start.

Surely those Willie Tee blips are just in THIS youtube recording, no? I just checked out two other youtube versions of the same record (one on U.K. Atlantic) and they are fine.

Boy, am I confused. I was still thinking about Benny Latimore. Okay, now I get it.

Wait, Pete, are you saying that copies exist that don't have the flaw? All of mine have, and the random youtube clip I found to illustrate my point....

Surely he means the Jimmy Bo Horne on Dig, not the one on Dade that we were discussing, right?

Thought of this while reading another thread. What happens at 1:45 here? Sounds like the tape slows down for half a second. All copies of the single have it. A production mistake or an inexplicable bit of vocal gymnastics?

Common label, rare record: Appointments on De-Lite.

I am willing to be talked out of my ultra-ultra-scarce Benny Latimore on Dade--keeping in mind, of course, its ultra-ultra-scarcity.

Deacon Lee and the Prophets on Revue?

That one is much harder than their others on the label, yeah. The sought-after one is the most common, right? I've seen this only once (and bought it); when I'm in Detroit I see dozens of copies of the "northern" one.

Really? I've lived in New York for 25 years, attended and participated in a gazillion soul nights, and have never heard of that one! Where is/was it??

My point is that everyone who's saying "It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight!" is completely missing the point of the thread. Of COURSE it doesn't matter; that's a given. This thread was about sociology and history and the interweaving of different subcultures. It's obviously impossible to discuss anything like that here.

Wow, I've seen people missing the point before, but this thread really takes the cake.

Excellent post. Very well put.
