June 1959 Biscaynes........mis-beat / out of order Ridge 6601A2 and 6601A1 Ridge is one of the most rare of the Motown connected labels.

Tamla 54024A WESTY

WESTY One of my useless bits of information-Baby I'm For Real came out in August 1969 so when Dave makes 60 he knows Money came out 60 years ago and the Originals 50 years ago. I'm like you Westy,born before release dates and charts were used!. See you at the next Drax all being well. Steve aka Jack
Guest 2648 W Grand Boulevard Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Thanx for all the information, it'll be put to good use !!! Dave
Dave West Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Thanx for all the information, it'll be put to good use !!! Dave say hello next time youre at Drax, I'll be propping up the bar, just ask someone,most know me cos Ive been going since it first opened (give or take a month or two) Westy p.s. I'm the guy that plays the Motown when I guest DJ

Steve aka Jack BUT HE DONT WANT THAT JACK, HE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT WAS RELEASED WHEN HE WAS BORN,NOT WHEN HE WAS 10YEARS OLD.
