Minneapolis dudes

I found this a few days ago, I must've played this thing 20 times by now. Its from 1983, the track is called "Make You Mine" w/ a radio edit and dub on the flip. Vocals by Denise Blaylark. Arranged by Rennis, Pat Adams and Mike Brown. Does this guy Bobby have any more records? Can I get a price check? Is this a dollar bin record or worth anything whatsoever? Either way it's a keeper, I don't know if people are checking for this but its a cool 12 in.

    there use to be a copy at the minneapolis cheapo for the longest time, i listened to it once but didn't care for it and put it back, think i've seen shuga sell a copy on ebay before $20-$30 bucks but don't quote me on that, anyway my tastes could've changed since i've last heard it which was a few years back, you have a soundclip of this i could hear?

    also that could possibly be robert brown jr but i'm not positive, he had a couple of gospel synth/funk 45's on the browntown label, one creditied to bobby brown, and another credited to robert brown jr, i think they're probably the same person, otherwise father and son, anyway one of the songs on the 45 was credited to m brown so this could be the same dude, he also released a christian cd a few years back on the browntown label, the thing that makes me think it's not him is that the song isn't a jesus song and it's on another label, so who knows


    by the way if anyone here reads this and has a gospel lp on the browntown label out of minneapolis please let me know, not sure who it's by but i remember seeing it once years back and have been dying to hear it, by the way i'll try and post up those browntown 45's later on, they're kind of cool

    I like the dub version on this 12. Flanger on the drums and all. Yeah I've seen it sell twice for $30-35.

    Yeah, that track never totally did it for me either, but I would pick it up for $15 or so especially for the hometown factor.

    My friend is interested in picking it up because his friend is that guy's son or nephew... I forget.

    I don't care for that record to be honest. Oddly it's one of the few independent boogie records that seems to turn up fairly often around here (Bay Area).

    is your friends last name brown? parsec is bobby's last name listed on the record? just trying to figure out if there's any relation to the 45's i posted, can someone post an mp3 and remind just why i left it behind, i collect the local shit, this must have been a huge turd, then again it was years ago since i've last heard it

    That record blows. Found two copies awhile back in the Bay and wanted my $4 back.
