The Broadways' "Going, Going, Gone" on MGM Records, is an exquisite, lamenting ballad from the summer of 1966. It was their first MGM single, and a dandy it was, but the label didn't promote it much and it never became a hit. The lineup of the group was Ronnie Coleman, Leon Trent, Moe, and Billy Brown. A second single, "Sweet and Heavenly Melody," released later that year didn't register and MGM didn't renew the association. As the Uniques, they recorded for Selsom Records in 1960 but disbanded when Brown was drafted in 1963. He reunited with the Uniques upon discharge, who became the Broadways on MGM. After the Broadways, Brown worked for Ford Motors, and enjoyed his light assembly job, but that was before he was asked to join the Moments. Joe Robinson, the owner of All Platinum/Stang Records, fired Mark Green and another Moment as "Not on the Outside" climbed the charts, and needed replacements; the original Moments only played one gig. With Brown, Al Goodman, and John Morgan, later replaced by Johnny Moore then Harry Ray, the Moments enjoyed a string of R&B hits topped by "Love on a Two Way Street." They left All Platinum for Polydor Records and as Ray, Goodman, & Brown scored with "Special Lady." RG&B were urban radio and concerts staples well into the '90s, and continued to tour into the next millennium. ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi

I did, circa 2005.  Got it off Ebay.  I was the only bidder.  Sold it to my mate John for £400.  Came back to me and it went to Mick Smith for trades, he still has it.  Meanwhile, it "book" at £450.

 HI ALL Heres a few UK MGM ISSUES & DEMOS, The BOK TO BACK ISSUE HAS IT'S ORIGANAL CENTRE IN / PAPER TOREN BY STICKER REMOVAL, RECORD IS EX, JUST IN CASE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS A POOR JOB??

It is also a surprise to see that most of the 45s were TWISTED WHEEL & TORCH PLAYS in comparison with other UK labels, there are a load more in my collection, but these are some of the best.  DAVE K

 HI ALL... Yes very nice, I was there, you have got a nice record, however when you have as many records as me trying & buying every record in it's rarest state takes a lot of cash these days, if I had loads of cash I could ring mick smith and get what I wanted, but I have done that with previous collections, this is my final/ 3rd UK collection, only need a few to complete, then I will look at upgrading items, the issue is just as rare by the way??  DAVE K from WOLVES.
