I've got this great funk 45 sitting in my ebay box. It's fustrating because I know if Keb or Josh had played it out it would be worth $$$$ but as an ungooglable it aint worth jack.
Bob Hopkins Orchestra Funk From The Get Go El Toro Records.
Came in the same collection that brought me the Moments.
I picked this up last night. From 1969 or 1970, could this be Ricardo Marrero's first appearance on wax? Most of the compilation is quite tepid but Ricardo's cut is sublime, a vibes led version of The Look Of Love. Does this turn up much or is my excitement justified?

Oooh, I have this one. It's worth keeping for Hey Hey Hey alone Otherwise give it to me, thanks.

I'm a bit confused - are you guys proud that these records cannot be googled? I mean, there are butt-loads of shitty recods that no one cares to know about cause they are, well... shitty.
If these are amazing things post them on waxidermy???. they will immediately become very Googleable - cause we are tastemakers on the very cutting edge of the record game???. One dude actually fell off yesterday - that's how close to the edge he was. I have no idea where he is now...

Those records are generally quite available because no one wants them, hence will appear on Google searches easily

that's a 'known' record - Detroit thing - I had a couple copies, can sell on ebay for like 75 to a bill. It's the same recording as Herbie Williams on El Toro.
it gets google hits too - like a few other 'ungoogables' mentioned in this thread...
i know for a fact that dude lists fake records on his discogs. (because a 12" single will say "taken from the album bla bla bla", he will list the album, many times this will never exist. see quincy huitt on chocolate cholly's)
yo does that houston talent show record have a really spaced out tune on it with lyrics like "you got to put some pep in your step" and weird synth in the bkgrnd??

using quotation marks for phrases can be very useful.
good record, I like it.
Thank you for the help. I use quotes, but didn't get those. Funk45 mentions it in the Herbie Williams listing. I've now seen it from your low of $75, to 200 UK Pounds.
I've mentioned it here before, but I have a Thelma Houston record I've never seen on google or ebay. It's titled "Deep Deep Soul" and came out on Koala Records in 1976. The music sounds much earlier, though. I've googled song titles too, and I'm pretty sure they're all exclusive to this release. The cover is the same as her "The Devil in Me" cover, but it's tinted pink. There are a few great cuts on it.
Can't find any info on the band but think they recorded it at the 'Maucks house' aka Fredlo Records, based in Davenport, was owned and operated by Fred and Lois Mauck out of their Davenport home. The Maucks lived upstairs while the ground level was occupied by the business and studio. The company functioned both as a recording studio for hire and a record label. Mr. Mauck acted as both label head and recording engineer. Aspiring musicians would pay to have themselves recorded and records made up. If Mr. Mauck sensed some commercial potential he might record and release the recording as a Fredlo record. Details of the Fredlo operation remain sketchy as both the Maucks have since passed away, but it is thought that the label operated at least from the late 50s to the late 60s.

Yeah, I got a copy. Signed by Bob too, and was probably meant to be for a friend or radio station as it has 'Check this out' scrawled across the paper sleeve in red ink.
St. Peter & Paul shooting stars, a virgin islands steel band from 1972 (?). Somewhere between good and hilarious... has covers of marvin gaye ("what's going on") and A HREF="http://sulley.dm.ucf.edu/~aschrock/temp/images/steelstars.mp3">kool & the gang ("kool is back") . Not bad for a bunch of kids.
I figured this thread is worth reviving to see if anyone's willing to share something from their crates. This record CAN be googled but until now there's no complete sound file of the best track. Ted Picou's Sleep Walker:
Supports the theory that the quality of the cover is disproportionate to the quality of the groove
