kriss Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I just got the Titan 4xLP box for Christmas, and I'm really pleased. The Boys LP is by far my favorite of the 4 discs, but they're all pretty good. I thought Gems were the weakest group who got their own side, but it's still a solid listen. This is my first Numero release, and all the praise they get is certainly warranted - it's an excellent set. I'm really excited for the Lou Ragland box coming in March, and also for the two power pop compilations coming later in the year. Did anyone get the Boddie box? How is that? Also, if anyone got the Titan set and wants to sell their Boys 10", let me know...my set didn't come with it. I haven't gotten ahold of the Boddie box but I've heard nothing but great things about it. If the RSD 35.5 Boddie double LP is any indication, I don't think I'll be disappointed at all. I love the Titan box - good solid power pop stuff all around. It's especially great if all of those old Cheap Trick, Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson records have been worn out. While you may track one down, I doubt you'll get the Boys 10" easily since it was a pre-order extra for Titan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumparumper Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Just picked up a used copy of the Outskirts of Deep Soul 2xLP at a store today, and I bought the Prix Label 2xLP a few weeks ago. Both are SO GOOD. I'm going to be throwing a lot of money Numero's way this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I picked up Numero #1 and not really into if anyone is interested. It's an expensive 2xLP for $20. I'll match the price on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Eccentric-Soul-Vol-Capsoul-Label/dp/B00189V3LM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1330880064&sr=8-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumparumper Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Syl Johnson box is $38.10 on amazon right now, just got my copy: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Mythology-Syl-Johnson/dp/B0040ICYPM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1331838248&sr=8-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 This almost tempts me to sit on the Boddie set in hopes that Amazon will give it a similar mark down at some point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumparumper Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yeah I'm thinking about doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The Boddie set is pretty amazing. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've heard nothing but good things about it, for sure - it seems that Numero has been releasing mainly box sets lately which are harder sells because of the larger chunks of change required per transaction. Out of the roughly 40 or so releases they have, I've got the majority of them with only a handful that I'll straight up never buy due to complete lack of interest - Boddie and the Codeine box are both on my list but I can't justify them right now.

Guest unclerickey Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The dude who ran this label was Ken Shipley, which I think someone mentioned at the beginning of this post. He put out the tightest releases in the mid-nineties through Tree Records, including the Eucalyptus Comp, The Owlitian Mia 2x7, The Franklin LP, and the mighty Post Marked Stamps series, perhaps the greatest emo release ever. His attention to detail was flawless, so it's really no wonder he helps run Numero. Buy the Prix Label collection, it's bananas all the way, you dimwits.

shamrocks Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 does anyone have the vinyl subscription? i keep meaning to, but it runs like 250 a year and is divided up, i feel like i would never be able to stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Giving this a sold bump. I've always had a thing for soul, I'll hear it in a store or something and really dig it. Just like jazz, it's a huge unfamiliar genre that I never took the time to dive into. A local store posted this photo (below), so i downloaded it. Damn it's awesome, it also gave me a little bit of direction. I'm currently going through these Eccentric Soul comps, very excited. It's a nice change of pace and just all around quality music. Plus, anything to do with the musical history of Columbus has my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I love the Eccentric Soul series. Some of the other stuff is hit or miss. But you cant go wrong with any ES comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I enjoy this stuff. But the comps, as Tim said, are hit or miss. Every volume I find one or two obscure songs I add to my set list to DJ. The only problem with this is that because it's obscure, scoring a 45 is tricky. The best thing I've found because of the ES comp from Numero is this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzl-FxB1wMY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
