Hi Chris, I picked up a demo copy about 15 years ago for £15, and then I found an issue about 8 years ago for £15, I would value you it today at about £30, cracking album, McKinley Jackson at his finest.

Regards

Alan

The album has just been released on CD by Dusty Groove in Chicago. Details on their website.

The Popcorn Wylie album being part of the mass exodus of Detroit artists to the ABC label (Lamont Dozier, Angelo Bond etc.) in 1974-5, following the successful Four Tops signing to ABC/Dunhill, presumably.

I remember "Lost Time" in particular blowing us away back in '75, as it had similar haunting qualities to "Rosemary What Happened (inst)", if a little slower! I still love it. (I often used to start my tapes off with "Lost Time" as I thought the title was an appropriate lead-in, and it segued nicely into Lou Courtney's "Somebody New Is Loving On You"...)

I seem to recall that the single of 'Lost Time' is either a different mix to the album or, very possibly, a different version altogether?

I think, actually, that Lamont Dozier was instrumental in getting most of these Detroiters on ABC rather than the Tops. They'd already been on Dunhill for a couple of years before all those Invictus-related named pitched up there.
