I've won 2 supercool funky records on Ebay

[Funky Dude]

Hi everyone, I was searching for Soul Train and came across a "Don Cornelius Presents Soul Train Gang" record (there's usually a number of them on EBAY every year), well anyhow what surprised me the auctioner was located in Australia :D !!! And in the same state I live in which is New South Wales! :D Anyhow I looked at her other auctions and she had a mixure of disco, funk, Aussie rock, rock etc... and found a couple more disco/funk records of my interest but bidded on one more as I'm tight with money at the moment. Anyhow the second LP I bidded on is L.T.D.'s "Gittin' Down" record from 1974, I'm not sure what their like but I bet it's going to sound really funky :D :D :D . Anyhow I've sent the money order to her and probably get the records Friday or Monday next week. I'm so looking forward to hearing them :D . It's unusual finding a Soul Train Gang album in Australia, I guess it was imported.

Hey Funky,

Glad you found some stuff close to home. I'll take bets that you REALLY LIKE LTD but that Soul Train Gang album is going to be a let down. I know it didn't do much for me.

Let us know after you get them.

Hi Funky Dude,

Good to see you won some items on eBay. It's a great way of finding hard to get stuff isn't it? Personally, Items I've won include Night Fever - Carol Douglas, Stand Up, Sit Down - AKB and Spin It - Sunbelt.

Haven't been dealing with eBay lately as I have been having some trouble with them. I sent my payment for my seller fees, but it never showed on my account. SO now they're saying that I need to pay or they'll take action. (I only owe Aust$8.06)

So have been trying to get it sorted out. :x

Hi Nicky. Just received the records last week.

Anyhow here's my review on them:

Don Cornelius Presents The Soul Train Gang 1975 (The music was good especially on Side A and my top 2 favourite songs on it are "Soul Train '75 Theme" :D and "Garbage Can" :D )

L.T.D. - Gittin' Down 1974 (This album is PURE FUNK :D :D :D , and my number one favourite song off it is "You Can Be Free")

Excellent! They both work for you. Always a good feeling after laying out that hard-earned money. :)

hey funkydude,

back in 1975 I bought the 7" single of "theme from soul train" I never knew there was an LP.... I also got my LP from ebay.... hehe probably 3 years ago.... the songs you mentioned on side 1 are cool. However, you got a very very rare Lp from L.T.D. "Gittin' Down" this LP debuted on the Soul LP's chart on 1/25/75 and got as high as #40...!!!!
It feel off the chart after only 6 weeks. :cry: :( at this point in their career they didn't chart with any single until the next year with "love to love the world" on that LP they not only charted, but had a #1 smash with "Love Ballad" (#1 for 2 weeks) that summer.
Just so you & I can keep our eyes open... their debut LP in 1974 was "Love, Togetherness & Devotion" hopefully somebody out their has got one for sell. I would love to have both those LP's to add to my collection. I'm sure you do also take care
