Have fun! Nice collection of WBEE, not as many for the others, although I recall seeing a bunch of WVONs somewhere, they were a big station. https://www.las-solanas.com/arsa/station.php?&it=31&s1=-1&q=chicago&ix=19&rs=1320 https://www.las-solanas.com/arsa/station.php?&it=31&s1=-1&q=chicago&ix=9&rs=2055 https://www.las-solanas.com/arsa/station.php?&it=31&s1=-1&q=chicago&ix=8&rs=2248

Can't believe that no one has mentioned this website, 1000s of surveys here. You don't need to know the stations call letters, just pick a city and find the R&B stations https://www.las-solanas.com/arsa/index.php

This has been listed in discographies going back to the Stak O Wax books. AFAIK it's never been proved to exist, in some other reference book (the Reg Bartlette Motown one maybe?) it was listed as assigned a number but never pressed. Interesting how these old discographies got these listings for never released 45s. From company logs? Old trade mags? Of course there's always the chance one could surface, like the Jimmy Hart on Blue Rock. However, since Frankie was well known artist on which any record would have got attention, gotta be certain by now that there were none made.

There's events constantly in SF and Oakland. Not sure if you are in SF or 'the bay area' but plenty to do. Silver and Black Soul Club, Alcatraz Soul Club are two more in addition to Sweater Funk. There's a big event the first weekend in June "Break It Loose Bay Area Soul Weekender".

These appear to be the same as the standard versions that came out on real labels. They aren't soul records, they are psych/rock from c. 1969. I think they range from $50 to $100+ for the labelled copies, these would probably go for less.

The Chris Montez version of "Call Me" was a huge hit in the US, 1966. I assume that Eddie Bishop was done in response.

Rentzel and Joey were married. The song title is almost funny considering he exposed himself to a couple young girls, costing him his marriage but not his football career (although he was traded to another team)

Came out on Red Coach but mispressed with a different title. I didn't post this detail, I figured anyone who had the record would know what I wanted.

Donald Ray and Soild Sound - I think about love Appointments - Stepping Closer, Dart or Red Coach good playing copies VG or better...but not paying $900 for a cracked Appointments,

The hook to "A little bit hurt" reminds me of the "Stronger than Dirt" from this Ajax commercial which predates JC by a few years. This version by Cleveland band Tom King and the Starfires - who became the Outsiders - incorporates the "Stronger than Dirt" with some familiar ealry 60s rock and roll moves.

Shaddows- Together Again - VG- with a little heat damage at the beginning you can hear in the clip. Otherwise plays OK with occasional pop. Last spare I have on this. Pay by PayPal, postage added. $110 https://buckeyebeat.com/records/shaddows_2.mp3

Reduced to $300

Four Arts - Who do you think you are, nice clean VG copy, plays great, check sound file. Writing on label as pictured. $300 + postage Buckeyebeat.com/records/fourarts_who.mp3

Jeez, is it really necessary to slag off a record on a wants thread?

Steve Jeffries (rarenorthernsoul.com) Sorry but the Combinations was pretty much unlistenable. Will be amusing to see how it's described when it hits the website., no doubt with some digital filtering to reduce the noise.

Got one!! Sorted!

Still looking....<bump>
