  • Rockadelic said:Mr. Hardge, I'm afraid I'm not the one looking foolish. Was it your lawyers idea to use Craigslist to sell your label? Regards, Rich Haupt This is racist.
  • Horseleech said:I must admit that it's a unique business tactic to insult people in order to persuade them to call you and give you many thousands of dollars. It's also awesome when they try to extort money from you.
  • Actually, The Numero Office number is 773 522 5013. If anyone wants to call, go for it, we could use a laugh.
  • We're still trying to figure out how making a solid case for not buying a label is racist.
  • Wrong thread.
  • Otis_Funkmeyer said:What a find! If you can't track them down after doing due diligence, you should release it anyway, setting money aside for them in escrow. Take this advice and flush it down the toilet. Find the band and make it …
  • Numero is doing a one day pop up shop about halfway between Reckless and Dusty Groove on Saturday. Fellow strutters Dante Carfagna, Meaty Ogre, and Rob Sevier will be dealing the rareness (as well as other deep cats like Scott Harlow, Chris Carnahan…
  • We're using black in a more general sense here, leaning heavier on the political undercurrents running through soul and R&B. A lot of time was spent pondering and researching this concept, and no other album came even close in 1969. For …
  • SportCasual said:Grueling = actually listening to the records The CD/2LP coming out next year should cull it down to easy listenability for you. Getting through a grip of rancheros is admittedly, not a great listen. However, "Mozambique," "Sto…
  • Spacecho said:Hey while we are on the topic of Syl, does any strutter know when/where the Is It Because I'm Black (Instrumental) was first released? I noticed it on a Numero comp. that accompanies the coffee table book mentioned in this thread. I ha…
  • Is it me, or is this record mastered kind of poorly? My copy is really noisy/poppy.
  • 9748 - Gene Marshall and the Ghetto Sons - It happens to everyone/One shirt This is Jimmy Mitchell related, the group had a single on King James (along with Sonny Wimberly). Jimmy Mitchell is related via REW,which is what all this shit became when …
  • I just wanted to say that this is possibly the most informative SS thread in the last year. Keep it up.
  • Go nuts: http://www.sendspace.com/file/rgrfmn
  • sorry dude, i HAVE to disagree with you! again, i said for a double vinyl 180 gram gatefold which has to be specially made...it's not a a common gatefold. plus, MAD people complained about the wholesale and retail prices...mad spots in the UK comp…
  • the reason there is no gatefold is because to do a gatefold on 180 gram double vinyl is impossibly expensive. also the gatefold has to be specially made to fit two thick ass pieces of vinyl. didn't want complaining about the wholesale and retail p…
  • Reginald was indeed a MS label, but Slim Willis was Chicago to the hilt. I just wrote a pretty major piece about the interconnectedness of all this shit for a forthcoming project. This a deep world.
  • We did a little needle drop on the mysterious second album: http://numerogroup.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/24-carat-black-mp3-sampler/ LP/CD hits 7/28.
  • If anyone cares, we've posted a few weird mash ups of the unreleased 24 Carat Black LP with the original songs they covered. Check the link: http://numerogroup.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/dale-warren-before-and-after/
  • Let rumors of the mythical "MIssing Can/Carat Link Raer" begin. I'll try and work this into the liners.
  • The skeleton for a second album exists, and you'll hear it soon enough. :melt best news ive heard in a while. similar sound? Very similar, if not a bit more experimental. Extremely dark except for a Stephen Stills cover, which is just pla…
  • 24 Carat Black was basically a one-off project, not a group per se. The tapes I have in the office say you're wrong. The skeleton for a second album exists, and you'll hear it soon enough. Also, they played live for several years in the midwest an…
  • Heavy f*cking 45.
  • Bonus beat: shadows of grass blades from my lawn. I disagree. For a second I thought the sleeve was some pre-photoshop layering job and was impressed. More sleeves with weird shadows, please.
  • For those that missed out: Ronaldo_Domino from ben poster on Vimeo. Renaldo Domino killed it.
  • A cool 36 hours before doors open and I'm in the middle of will-call hell. If you've got tickets, come early, as there will be about 400 people waiting in line with you. We've got a nifty slide show of Chicago nightlife in the 70s playing from 730 t…
  • On Soulsource they're complaining that the backing band chosen for this is terrible. Some people are never happy. All I can say is, I was at the first rehearsal the other night and the band was really tight. Say what you will about the Uptown Soun…
  • Unless you're going to a studio (and they're paying) that has decent A/D converters, I wouldn't even bother. What we've always done is put a deposit on the record and take it in ourselves. We send a cashiers check for the full value of the record, p…
  • As I said earlier, there are only two possibilities:b, 21b, 211. Real Kb, 212. Hacked email accountb, 21b, 21His email this AM has text from our previous exchanges in it, and unless this is Rob Sevier in the other room playing the prank, I'm leaning…
