Marc Joe Matthews "She's My Beauty Queen" (Thelma 104). Two great records but the Joe Matthews shades it for me as it shows off his marvellously flexible voice to great effect, plus the flip of JM, "Is It Worth It All" is even better. Tempos is seriously rare on a WDJ though.
October 12, 200915 yr Sold a few tunes on and off recently but records like The Tempos I simply can't get rid of, stunning tune, had it for years and have played it when I was DJ'ing over the years, very hard to find on a stock copy but mindblowingly rare on a white demo. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
October 12, 200915 yr Just returned from Detroit where I spoke to members of the Tempos at length (article to follow). Sadly, they didn't have copies of their rarer records but they did tell me that 'I'll never forget you' actually wasn't them! It was the Steptones.
