it's strange that a trinidad label would boot something that obscure right?
i mean, i know Arawak did those Ja "apache" / "bongo rock" boots but that's a bit different. those weren't as obscure.

I'd say no more obscure than IBB at the time
His two albums were on RCA and Brunswick, big labels with mass distribution. He just didn't have any real hits so he's unknown now.
but the Arawak's came out in the b-boy era i'm pretty sure...when those tracks were known and in high demand...not sure when this Boobie boot came out. but even still...did those records make their way to the carribean and them somebody heard them and thought...man, i really need to press some of these up on 12"!
Well not quite everyone, chris.....and not many of them would be interested in LP's....unlike myself
i just meant there was a post in the trades section over there from scott offering it up to anyone with some specific quadruple-digit range 45s.
furthermore, it should be noted here that that cover is the basis for conchillo's photoshop of the "2nd us warren lp" that people still think is real.....
That fooled someone when the topic of the 2 sisters from Baghdad LP was mentioned a week ago on the DF board.
I think Mr Finewine now has the copy that Scott (Harlow?) offered for trade on the DF board last year-ish. I think Beaver has a copy as well. Hit em up Greg!
There are only 3 known copies of the Linda Balantine 45 on Bandit. Every one of them is hammered, though Dante's copy is playable. Also on the Bandit tip is a 45 by a group called the Michigan Avenue Sound Orchestra. So far only one copy has turned up of that I know of.
On the Lavice & Co tip, according to the producer, there were 8000 copies made, 2000 of which sold, the rest thrown in the trash around 1980.

yo p_trick,
those are bootlegs of previously issued tunes. the w.i. locale is just a sham to hide the fact that they are boots.
my friend raised this question 4 years ago, since then we solved it.
It's a religious-themed black arts musical. LaVice & Co. were a theater company, Garrison was a songwriter/musician who happened to be LaVive's brother-in-law. The LP is the score of the musical, which explores a bizarre range of religious themes about the relationship between heaven and hell. There are 2 funky pieces, one gorgeous female group soul piece, a piece that could easily pass as "spiritual" jazz, a bit of incidental music, and a couple of soulish boners.
All in all a pretty eccentric LP that is spotty as a unit but has some great moments.

Detroit dudes been sniffin'. All involved have been contacted, too, so the chances of any quantity appearing at any point is negligible.
see there is rare (bobby williams funky superfly fan club issue) which is hella rare, but that is documented.
then there is mythical raer....
evan's pyramid lp
-anyone got it for me?
allegedly a hand drawn cover for every copy and a run of 50.
what else is only on the bigfoot/yeti level....

again you have mega rare, such as the messengers inc. "soulful proclomation" lp, which is hella rare but a strutter is sittin on a pile of em.
then you got the Upheaval 45 which was hand pressed in the basement of a max security prison and limited to 25 copies.
