To Pitch Or Not To Pitch? That Is The Question
Those against pitching up or down must surely think that every single turntable in the world plays at PRECISELY the same speed, which is utter nonsense.

New York Soul Clubs
You can call me anything you want...just don't call me late for dinner! I will be there on that Wednesday....It should be a good night. Got TWO guests coming in with records, from Minneapolis and New Orleans! Please be sure to say hello. I'm the fellow with the glasses and the salt-and-pepper goatee.

Just ordered a copy. As a former (and forever in spirit) Detroiter, and a collector of Detroit records with roots in the Detroit music scene, I must say I'm very excited.

I believe it's about the actual, literal, fanged and furry dogs that the police would unleash on black protesters in those bad old days: https://tinyurl.com/q55ul5 And James would be James Meredith, the first black student at the University of Mississippi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Meredith

Is it really wise to boast about how you intend to win an auction at any cost? What's then to prevent someone from putting in a bid of, say, $10,000 (or pounds!) and really making you, ahem, dig deep??

I've got a very clean (M-? I'll have to check) one somewhere. May take a little time to dig up. What are you offering?

New York Soul Clubs
Hi. We haven't done an Empire State Soul Club night since 2001, unfortunately. The Subway Soul Club is going strong, as is Honky and Pomonkey's monthly 'Dig Deeper' night, featuring a live act plus some of the best, rarest 45s in the world. SELF-PROMOTION ALERT! I DJ every Wednesday night in a dumpy little bar called Botanica, at 47 East Houston Street in Manhattan, from 10 o'clock till 2 or 3 in the morning. It's more a drink-and-listen-and-socialize thing than a dance party, though people have been dancing a bit lately now that the friggin anti-dancing law is seemingly no longer being enforced. I play across-the-board soul 45s, late-50s to mid-70s, including R&B, blues, deep soul, sweet soul, gospel, funk, and, yes, 'northern.' I've been doing this night for 14 years, and in that time it has been, uh, graced by the presence of Keb, Butch, Guy, Randy Cozens, Tim B., John M., Ian W., and plenty of others. Sebastian from this board came through a few months ago and played some records with me. Check it out. Say hi and I'll buy you a beer. It's a lot of fun. M

The Tears Of A Clown
So is the Tamla Motown version the one that you all "grew up" with? The vocal phrasing is pretty different from the one I'm used to hearing on U.S. radio and on my U.S. 45 (and albums)...right from the start, Smokey goes down instead of up and up instead of down (on "fool" and "public", if you know what I mean....Or is it only the Spanish 45 that has this vocal take?

You mind posting the winning offer when you're done? Been wondering what this goes for. Thanks.

Reduced Set Sale With Sound Files
There's a third version of the Carol Jones! Looks like your second one, doesn't have strings on the 'Destroy' side, but definitely two different takes from the striped one.

Cain & Able
Kev: It's Kane, not Cain. And I'm 99 percent certain it's a white act. I played it on the radio here: https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/33798

Cain & Able
Well, I have a copy. I've never seen another one. Has someone been playing it? I think it's great blue-eyed soul, and I wouldn't sell it.

Artists In Film Cameos
Ah, you beat me to Stu Gardner in "Point Blank"! Cool nightclub scene. Jim Jarmusch's "Mystery Train" has Rufus Thomas, Marvelle Thomas, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins in bit parts. TV's "The Rockford Files" has Isaac Hayes in a recurring role; in one episode, he's trying to manage a struggling nightclub singer played by Dionne Warwick...and there are even some 45s involved in the plot!

Thanks for giving it a listen, Tommy. She doesn't sound white to me, but who knows.

Okay, I take this back. Upon further listening, I find both sides to be awesome. I'll try to post clips Monday.

Jeanette Nellis: Anyone Know This Good Chess Oddity?
Just found it yesterday: Jeanette Nellis, Let's Get Together/Wait (Chess 1855) It's from 1963, according to the discography. Two pretty excellent early soul/R&B sides. Not completely mind-blowing, but very solid; what IS mind-blowing is that a very good Chess 45 could be so seemingly obscure. Google brings up the Chess discography and that's it. No playlists, no sales sites, no compilations, no nothing. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks, M
