Super-raers?
- Thread starter DjArcadian
- Start date
It's actually a LP of dialog from Transvestites. It's on one of the All Platinum subsids, maybe Maple? One Lp is them getting all Katty and talking shit. The other lp is truly sad, with them giving their life story about how they switched over and became trannys. Crazy Shit, and crazy rare.

It's real...though the instrumental version of "Why Can't..." is false.
I just found out that the auction I saw was captured by Popsike:

Too bad there is no picture, because it was, if memory serves me, pretty sick.
Someone should talk to the All Platinum people about this one because there has to be a reason it is so scarce. It makes other All Platinum/Stang raers look common by comparison.
]Can't tell you if it is any good because the last guy I talked to who had it didn't want anyone else to know what it sounded like.
DIRECT DIGGER INFORMATION>>

What I would like to know is, how does one talk to the "All Platinum people"? And why hasn't there been a Wax Poetics article about Sylvia Robinson + All Platinum labels up to Sugarhill? i would even buy a book about this subject. The quality of the rare soul records on those labels is astounding.

Has anybody here ever had or heard the Susan Phillips "Soft Sexy Soul" LP (pictured on the right)?

I'm still trying to figure out where the single is from. The only 2 copies I know of were both found in Austin.
There's a Vance Records out of Oakland but I don't know if it's the same label. Seems possible from the cat. #'s. (DV-...)
Check out some of the scans here: http://stanleyandbianca.com/label_images.php
Ah, fascinating. I had, naturally, assumed it was out of Hollywood CA given the name of the group though the sound of the single was also very NYC. The only two people I knew who owned the thing was Steve from Big City who found his copy in Austin as well as Office Naps' Little Danny who is also based in Austin I believe.
musica saidretty cool EP. But $450? Damn.
Would either of you be willing to pay that $$ for this thing?
Naw. I think I'd peak out around $100 or so for it. I really love that version of the song but in terms of opportunity cost, there's a shitload of other hard-to-find records I'd sooner spend $450 on.
BTW: speaking of which...
BOOYAH! http://cgi.ebay.com/rare-Soul-45-SC...ps=63&clkid=5844666416051300667#ht_2593wt_954
I don't mean to be greedy but I really want to hear the entire 45. Sounds pretty fucking fly.

For VG-, this sounds pretty damn good (at least the A-side. B-side is crunchier but it clearly hasn't dimmed enthusiasm amongst the bidders.
I doubt these are really "numerically rare"...it's more that it's geographic distance limits the number which would work their way up out of Panama.
also got one myself and its also a different pressing (yellow label loyola, anyone know which was first?) then the one auctioned. so i was assuming there was many pressed back then, but hence population of panama in the 60/70??s and add the fact that most of these got wrecked, dumped it??s very hard to track down a copy even round the isthmus! That said i only know a few copys that changed hands after it got popular.
I also think that most "rare" records were pressed in bigger quantitys but the fact that it is/was/willbe great music which got played out and wrecked shrinkened the amount available dramatically over the years!
