Mighty Favog Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 From what I can find, I think it's a type of Craigslist. There is something on there that is for sale and I want it BADLY. I sent a message to the seller expressing my interest but I don't even know where this person/web site is. I also sent a message to the webmaster asking how I go about contacting the seller (which I already did). So, what I need is to find out where they are in case shipping is not possible. Story behind the item: My Mom passed away a couple of years ago and she held on to her vinyl records of a women's chorus she was in in the 70's called Sweet Adelines. They won the international competition in 81' in Phoenix, AZ and a few other contests in the mid 70's. Her quartet won a division in 75' or 76' (The Contemporaries) and that is the only vinyl record she had but couldn't find at home. Fast Forward - I found the record on this obscure site and want it for myself (numbers 18 & 19 in the first grouping). I have a friend who sings barbershop for the male version chorus called Southern Gateway, and he will pay the full price of the collection and let me have the one(s) that I want of Mom. So, this is a GREAT deal if I can get it rolling!!https://www.topixy.com/1083496692.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsoncookie Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Ya, odd website in numerous ways. If you click on the "Response" link, a window opens to email. Sounds like you did that. I also did, will let you know if I hear anything back. But a goofy website overall. How in the world did you find the listing? Here ? -- https://www.google.com/search?q=Sweet+Adelines%2C+Inc%3B+Region+Four+Winners+of+1975&oq=Sweet+Adelines%2C+Inc%3B+Region+Four+Winners+of+1975&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 To me... it looks like topixy redistributes information, in a ad based format, from places like craigslist or backpage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, fortunately I know the title of the album verbatim. Mom was very adamant about the title and what the cover looked like. But I remember it too. But it was a complete fluke that Google had a hit for it. It just got a bit frustrating that a site has listed what I'm looking for only to find that the site might not be monitored by anyone. I did hear back from the Sweet Adelines' main office in Tulsa, OK. A very nice lady there put the request on their web forum (like this one) and she got a couple of responses. She also gave me a few e-mail addresses of people that might be able to help locate a copy of the album. Fingers crossed but still not stopping the search elsewhere.

Karsoncookie Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I did not get a response on my email to the ad. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks Marc. Neither did I. I do have some other feelers out there for the album, but initially this looked like the best listing for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Any of THESE what you're looking for? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Whoa!! Not sure how you found those but I sure do appreciate it. In that listing, Mom is on #15 / track B3 and #20 / tracks C1 & C2 (Seven Hills Chapter), and that's with the whole 80+member group. I didn't see any with her quartet, though. I'm very grateful for your time and effort to look for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Good deal and good luck! I think you have to join to purchase anything. I never got that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
