Great track. Previously unreleased, CD only I believe: Originally released on : The Master 1961-1984 Disc 1 #16 Then compiled by Richard Searling on Motown Connoisseurs, Vol. 2 2003 He played it regularly on CFOS during the early naughties. Best Mick

No Nashville Matrix stamp on the record. That's the info I needed, thanks guys. Mick

Any help with this query would be greatfully recieved. I have this copy of Sandra Philips, "World without sunshine", b/w oki on a white viynl Broadway 45-403 DJ. I suspect that i'ts a 1970's boot (see scan) however the only reference I can find to a boot suggests that it was done on a double sided "world without" white lable boot (i.e. same both sides). The scratched matrix is 66BY258, no stamp. Help appreciated. Thanks Mick

Another boot: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOVE-WONDERFUL-PAULA-PARFITT-BEACON-/180806834121?pt=UK_Records&hash=item2a18ed57c9

the more the better. Please feel free to add label scans and other info, as detailed in my signature below. Thanks mick

I have now added this to the Flickr re-issues page. Please see my signature below for a link to this site. Public contributions are welcome. Thanks Mick

Same goes for the horrid MGM LP of hers, also produced by Don Costa. Nice pick on the cover though. M

Hi Steve Re Order of Images Unfortunately you cant order the images in a public group. However if you want to look for something specific by artist you can search the archive. As you probably noticed I have tried to include some Youtube links and where possible Popsike links. And you could cross reference new images by including a link in the description. I would be greatfull for any one joining. Thanks Mick For Bootleg/re issue images please go to: https://www.flickr.com/groups/1856437@N25/

Further scans added, please click here. This is a Public Photo group open to contributions from anyone. Thanks Mick

Nearly had a go at this one myself last week until i saw the re-mastered bit and there were others described the same last week, though I can't recall which. It's appaling how folks fake their descriptions as much as the records they sell. Bought two recently described as VG that were so battered they are virtualy unplayable. It's great though that this forum exists to expose these dudes. Thanks for sharing. Mick

In case anyone is interested I have started a public group on the Flickr photo web site for sharing label scans of bootlegs and reissue, hopefully this might help folk with their buying in future. Please click here to access it. It's both free and easy to join Flickr and I would welcome anyone else's contributions to this resource. A public group means that anyone can post there, but please, only scans of bootlegs and re-issues. Thanks Mick

Lovely tune - personaly I'd rather have it than "too much", good tune though it is. Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys. Mick

This is another tune that used to be a £20 quid record, where the last few copies seemed to have tipped for £150 plus. Does anyone know if it's because its been played out? https://www.popsike.com/Ronnie-McCainnorthern-soul-45-on-TriodeThis-Timehear/390308535814.html Thanks Mick

Another overpriced boot I wish I hadn't given away! M

Think it's "Lonely One", from the "Swings", LP - nice lilting instrumental. Mick

Always liked this. One of those covered by many artists, I know of versions by: Booker T (co writer), The Mad Lads, Ollie and the Nightingales,William DeVougn,Esther Philips,Al Green, Joseph Henry & The Mighty Imperials, Sunny & the Sunliners, Clem Curtis (the Foundations), The Friends of Distinction, Marvin Holmes & the Uptites and Tyrone Davis, I guess that there must be many more. Ollie & The Nightingales - I've Never Found A Girl I've Never Found A Girl - The Mad Lads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSEYIN5SjPM A couple of the more unusual versions: The The Friends of Distinction is a great version: Clem Curtis (the Foundations):

Nice version of the Steve Mancha classic: The Mad Lads: Did my baby call?

I take it that it's a recent boot then? Mick
