Sean Hampsey Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Good choice Roger. The first label I collected.. seriously. Think I had 'em all by the late 70's. Split my first collection up in early 80's but hung on to a few favourites and still have quite a few. Favourite releases: Melvin Davies "This Love Was Meant To Be" Bobby Williams "Baby I Need Your Love" Carl Carlton "Why Can't They Leave Us Alone" ZZ Hill "Make Me Yours" Brenda & The Tabulations "That's In The Past" Barbara Mason "Half A Love" Gene Chandler "I Can Take Care Of Myself" Bobby Bland "Share Your Love With Me" +++ Bobby Patterson "Im In Love With You" "Married Lady" Hoagy Lands "Do You Know What Life is All About" How could I forget these two gems Baz!

John Benson Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) pretty sure the Esquires - 'My Sweet Baby' also came out on the grey just found this link https://www.globaldog.../action-uk.html Correct - grey it was I've also got that promo 45 they put out to promote the re-launch(?) with the pink logo on one side and the People label on the other. Just blank labels on both sides If I remember correctly - no writing, just the respective artwork? Edited July 5, 2010 by John Benson Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hampsey Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hiya Sean, I have a nice lilac / purple Action 45 of Buster Pearson, pretty woman. Where did that originate from ?? Apparently was one of Max Millward's fave tunes ( R.I.P. ) Tony. Hi Tony, I still have that one too. He was the father (and manager) of 'Brit Pop' group 'Five Star' so I've always thought it was recorded in the UK and not released elsewhere.

Sean Hampsey Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 And here's the miss printed Shing-A-Ling Stroll and the correct one... For years I thought the proper title was 'Shing a King Stroll' Joe, cos that was all I had. I think there are probably more misprints out there than the corrected ones.
