bargainvinyl1 strikes again

nah, the earlier clean copy was sold by a store in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak

I'm a Detroit dealer pm me the number I'll treat her right 😇

I always assumed the Detroit artist was Willie 'Preacher' Hampton

calling CSI

Tomangoes was recorded at United Sound and they had their own blank labels, so it's unlikely to be a studio acetate... what this reminds of is a Audiodisc acetate glued the bathroom wall in StreetCorner Records ( Detroit ) labeled, "F.WILSON" and "JOBETE" as a joke

I'm not so certain - they have the look of custom-made acetates made in the 70's i.e Emi Discs etc I could swear that was Ron Murphy's handwriting 🤨

hard to say. I refunded a Somerset based gentleman around the first of this month for a house 12 that was stuck in Chicago for 3 months. It was delivered yesterday.

it seems like there were some backups about 3 months ago( aka "Chicago Limbo") - but current mail is getting through at a decent pace - I've sent packages from Detroit in the last month that have taken 7-10 days to get to the UK, Spain and Germany...

I am a Detroit-based seller on ebay and discogs. shipping is VERY slow at moment, even shipping within the USA is delayed. I'm assuming the near complete cessation of commercial flights is to blame.

Joe Terry...

maybe he was looking to get signed as an artist or songwriter? who knows leafing through the Jobete catalog it's really diverse - soul, country, MOR pop, children's songs, you name it

Actually both sides are pretty charming imho 'My Angel Baby' is dreadful, but it does appear in the Jobete song catalog from 1967

checking my ebay sales records, I sold a copy of the vinyl pressing in May 2004 for $33.64 to a buyer named 'Kenneth Darge'

they used the same run of labels on the vinyl and styrene, so what? the guy we are talking about is Darrell Banks, not 'Darrel Banks' at least spell his name right

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have a pink label vinyl copy and grey styrene copy sitting in front of me and the typefaces and layout are identical

you occasionally find the vinyl pressing here in Detroit I think the vinyl to styrene ratio is like one in 20 the sound quality of vinyl is better and I've no reason the suspect it's a bootleg, just a pressing sourced to another plant to meet immediate demand on a hit record

perhaps it should have been marketed as 'the Holy Relic of Northern Soul' then it could have been toured around, charging the faithful a few pounds to gaze upon it, even more to touch the sleeve oh well, Jack White has it now.

I heard that Jack White bought it
