  1. It might be, but I doubt it. There was a series of these US Release CDs, and they covered, fairly obviously, one year on each CD. I don't think Motown even realised that it was a different take to the Frank Wilson when they released it. I'll dig my copy of the CD out tonight and post the version of FW so that you can compare it.
  2. That'll be the alternate take that's on the 'Motown Year By Year' CD then.
  3. If I had unlimited cash and had just bought the Junior McCants I think the thrill would be in saying "I'll collect it". The freedom to not have to plan trips in advance, and just travel where I wanted would be fantastic. I'd probably spend six months of the year travelling anyway (And I mean around the world, not in a caravan like Bearsy )
  4. And I've been playing it in my set for nearly eight years. Originally covered up for a laugh as Jimmy Washburn - Into Your Heart
  5. Well if you are claiming to be highly developed thank God I'm still dragging my knuckles
  6. A huge number of the labels have water damage, but mint vinyl.
  7. I think you'll find most of us will wait and see, we don't all claim to have an all seeing ability to know we are right before the event takes place. When I read the first post in the thread about the film being allegedly in trouble I did think that gloating is one of the most unattractive personality traits that can be displayed.
  8. Perfectly correct. In real life you're a complete arse not just a bit of an arse
  9. Paul O'Grady even sang the chorus from 'Like A Nightmare', and he knew who it was by. Yes, I'm seeking forgiveness for watching as well.
  10. I've been giving it the odd spin over the last year or so.
  11. Absolute rubbish I'm afraid. Millie was Millie Small, and originally from Jamaica.
  12. Isn't the title of the thread a contradiction ! Surely if they are on legit 45s, they are no longer unreleased material.
  13. That's because you don't pay a license fee to watch the BBC, and we do !
  14. Awwww gee, thanks Joan
  15. It isn't a re-issue, they are album tracks only. It's a bootleg
  16. You've obviously never tried to catch a train on a Sunday morning recently. The earliest trains anywhere are usually about 8 am, but more like;ly to 9am or even 10am
  17. Rugby doesn't normally finish at 5am, but this one is finishing at 5am because there was already a booking for a boot sale or something on the Sunday morning at 7am. It's happened once before, but this is the last time it will happen from now on.
  18. £12 in the 100 Club for an issue......
  19. Solomon King (born Allen Levy, 1932, Lexington, Kentucky - died 21 January 2005), was a 1960s and 1970s popular music singer. As a teenager he attended the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and was offered a scholarship to study Cantatorial Music by Jan Peerce. King was the first white singer ever taken on tour by blues legend Billie Holiday, as well working with Elvis Presley's backing group [jordanaires[The Jordanaires who he used as his own backing group when recording the first version of 'She Wears My Ring' in Nashville, Tennessee. He first started singing professionally in 1952. His first pseudonym, Randy Leeds, was uninspired and his records such as "I'm Gonna Live Til I Die" did not sell. After marrying Canadian journalist Henny Lowy in 1960, King spent 20 years living in Manchester, England - the couple had four children. King's chart success in the UK began with "She Wears My Ring", which was a top five hit in 1967, but only reached No. 117 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968. "She Wears My Ring", based on La Golondrina ("The Swallow)" by the Mexican composer Narciso Serradel Sevilla, was written by the Nashville, Tennessee husband and wife team Boudleaux and Felice Bryant. "When We Were Young" was a hit the following year in the UK. At 6 ft 8 in it is said some TV interviewers refused to have him on their shows unless he sat down [1] After his marriage to Lowy ended in 1980 he moved back to the U.S., where he wed a further two times. King continued singing in clubs in the U.S. on his return. He died in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma of cancer, on Friday 21 January 2005.
  20. DY-103 The Tonettes- I Gotta Know / My Heart Can Feel the Pain Is this from the same label > R & B Indies has this listed as being from a 1958 New Yrok Dynamic label.
  21. Well if it is Tom Creedon. he's moved because he used to live in Brighton.
  22. R & B Indies also lists these two releases on Ready, but doesn't give release numbers. There are however gaps in the numbering system, so they could have slotted into those gaps. The New Wanderers - It's OK / Perry Sue The New Wanderers - Doctor In Love / ? The label address was 191 Manor Road, Huntingdon, Long Island, NY, and it was in existence from 1965 to 1966 The Wanderers on Cub had their last release in 1963 on United Artists, so it could have been the same group, however, at this time their line up was Ray Pollard, Frank Joynor, Sheppard Grant, and Bob Yarborough, and this had been the line up for nearly ten years. They split up in 1965 when Sheppard Grant died.
  23. I thought there was more than one record purchased for that £15K as well.
  24. I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that this was a wind up. They had mocked up a label and stuck it on a record which they then displayed on the wall of their shop.
