that copy was once mine...i kept a dub of it and play it without shame at the bar on wednesdays. i think i heard adam eventually moved it on, but i could be wrong. i've certainly never seen another.

and i know huey smith & the clowns recorded under the name shindig smith and the soul shakers....

i'm pretty sure the teem group is just huey smith and the clowns recording under one of their many aliases and has absolutely nothing to do with the soul shakers on loma. i'm open to being schooled, though. but teem is definitely a new orleans label, and that's a new orleans recording. m

didn't think it was THAT rare...several on popsike. hmmm, this one looks suspicious. a reissue of some sort?? https://popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=250106918803 mine looks like this: https://popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4009818603 oh, man, this one ACKNOWLEDGES it's a reissue in the description and still went for $$$: https://popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=110168374351

wow, thanks for this!! i had NEVER flipped it over in all the years i've had it! like sebastian, i got it for "the girl can't dance." but now i'm thinking "you can't make me doubt my baby" is the most danceable side (the least frantic, for one thing, for those of us getting on in years) among the three singles i've got on him. does he have others besides "hide and go seek" and "little red riding hood and the wolf"? luckily when i embarked on a frantic search for this after reading your post, it was in the first box i looked in...whew. thanks again. another "kitchen newie" for the playbox. m

hello, dj chak! how are things?? you going to oslo? i wish i could!

UPDATED! HAVEN'T DONE TOO WELL!

okay, now i'm REALLY convinced albert's right. just remembered that willie mccovey the first baseman had the nickname STRETCH!!!

i'm with albert. baseball player on label, producer's use of the name willie (not william, bill, billy) when willie mccovey the baseball player was HUGE back then...adds up to that being THE willie mccovey, though i'll admit i'd never heard of his being involved in music. do you know for sure, marc, that there was another willie mccovey?

if memory serves, it's a "borrowed" booker t. and the mgs track with some extra business added to the top. memory may not serve, though. can't listen now while at work, and have no idea where the 45 is buried at home, but here's a link to the radio show where you can hear it: https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/21341 playlist from the show: Fred Ford, Blackeyed Rattlesnake (Duke) The Lyrics with the Top Notes, The Side Wind (ABC-Paramount) Dell Randle, The Monkey and the Beatles (Shakari) Chuck Turner, I Just Can't Get Enough of Your Love (Whiz) Ray Scott and the Scottsmen, Right Now (Decca) Bill Johnson, It Ain't Never Gonna Die (Jocida) The Soul-Heirs, Hot Links (Twilight) Melvin Davis, I Must Love You (Groovesville) Connie Tanzell, Don't Knock Me (Soul Clock) Nancy Butts, I Want to Hold Your Hand Baby (I Get Lonely) (Flaming Arrow) Lou Rawls, A Woman Who's a Woman (Capitol) Louis Curry, Don't Be More Woman Than I'm a Man (Reel) The Mello Decisions, The Slider (Reel) The International Five, I Need You (Starway) The Eyes of Reality, What You Waitin' On Girl (Channel "1") Willie Walker, A Lucky Loser (Checker) Jimmy Scott and the Band, Remember Me (Detroit Gold) Cutty Sark, Dusty (Zuma) The MIAs, The Bullet (acetate) The Stepstones, Leave Us Alone (Pt. 2) (Big "D") Bro Robert, Alcohol (Pt. 2) (Jo Ann) The America People, Give It Up, If You Can't Do Nothing With It (Attack) Richard Smith, I Don't Wanna Cry (Hi-Q) Dave Hamilton, Cracklin Bread (TCB)

bingo, there's mine, top right. thanks, chalky.

ah, okay. thanks, g man!

i never see pics of any that look like mine: black with pale silver lettering, plain type ROMARK across top (no logo)...so i am starting to wonder...

are there bootlegs with a romark label? what do they look like? i know there are at least a couple different looks for legit issues... thanks m

thanks.

well, this is purely personal preference, now isn't it? would you look down on someone who had the opposite idea?

sorry, where do i go to hear the clip?

what i meant is that i live paycheck to paycheck and sometimes get behind on bills. when an eye-opening offer comes in on a record at a time when i'm particularly strapped, i often feel that i can't afford to hold on to the record anymore. and occasionally i'm proactive in soliciting such offers.

i forgot to mention a truly strange and questionable practice i've engaged in twice: traded away a hammered/noisy ultra-ultra-rarity while simultaneously procuring a carver copy for myself of a much-better-sounding recording of the same song from a commercially available cd, where the version on the cd came from a master tape.

i guess i have a different perspective on this, maybe because i'm not part of the scene. i have a handful of "carvers," maybe 4 or 5 two-siders, that i've had made from the following sources: (1) structurally unsound one-off acetates that may stop being usable at any moment (there seems to be some agreement that that's an approved practice, right?), (2) previously unissued tracks that appear on cd (ditto), and (3), more controversially, one-off or two-off or three-off singles i've sold or traded away because they just became too expensive to hold on to anymore. i really don't feel i have to prove anything to anyone, and if i want to play these at the bar night in new york that i've been doing for 12 years now because they're the ghosts of fantastic records whose sounds i still cherish but whose carcasses i couldn't afford to keep, i don't see the problem with it. perhaps i should advertise "99.99 percent originals, .01 percent dubs i've had made from originals i once owned genuine copies of." and then if people choose to stay away based on my politics, they're informed enough to be able to do so.
