    Just reading Keith's Detroit book (Bravo Keith, it's fantastic), and in the Rainbow/Ernstrat/Terra Shirmha chapter he mentions the licensing of "Yes I Love You Baby to Laurie Records. Now, I may be completely out of the the loop here but has anyone actually seen a bona fide 60s Laurie release? We've been aware of the tenuous link to Laurie via the 70s reissue/boot whatever on the label but I don't know of anyone who actually owns a 60s Laurie 45. Does anyone out there possess one and if so has anyone ever seen a DEMO of it? Cheers, Dave

    Fathers Angels = MFSB. A common but now debunked theory. Fathers Angels were a group of youngsters that were mentored by a priest. The story is now well known that Jerry Ross took a punt on the group and licensed it to MGM. Full story can be found in one of the TTB! issues. If anyone has seen a Heritage Test Press or a US MGM TP I'd love to see a scan of it. Regards, Dave

    Damn Pete! All these years I thought it was quite good! I'll go take a hammer to it now Mate and redress the balance!

    Motown's Funk Brothers always seem to throw up angst when the individual's are mentioned. I think this is because they became so much more than just a band as people got to learn their true history from the people involved. Mike Terry not an official Funk Brother? His 'officialdom' is stamped all over the music of the company's golden era. Like many of the guys, he developed a talent that saw him have to spread his wings outside of Hitsville, but his contribution to 'The Sound of Young America' ranks up there with anyone elses I reckon.

    Never seen or heard of a 78 of it? If it does exist could someone please post a scan. Also...never seen a W/Demo of the Motown copy either. It's the only one of the 'Motown Pinks' I've never seen a demo of? Anyone? Regards, Dave

    Which brings us the the one version not mentioned yet: Billy Sha Rae's version on Spectrum. Another great slant on what is an absolute gem of a backing track coupled with some pretty remarkable lyrics too (in both songs).

    I'm hoping this ain't a wind up and it's a serious question....otherwise I may look a chump here but... The songs are most certainly connected! The names of Jack Ashford, Mike Terry, Lorraine Chandler, Herbie Williams, Joe Hunter etc are all over the music. It is of course the Peid Piper production Team of Detroit. They produced The Hesitations album before the group were later assigned to GWP Productions. All written about in There's That Beat! (Can't remember which issue).

    Err....thanks for that.

    When I did the 'Early Years of Barry White' story I was in touch with two members of the 'Linda' Majestics, so was another SS member (Can't remember who now), They were a Latino group if I remember correctly. They dropped off my radar once they realised I didn't have the pot of gold they thought was at the end of my particular rainbow. Would be great to hear them do "ILHSMIH at Prestatyn though eh?

    The GC on ABC was a classically trained musician. I found a test press of the album along with a great pic and bio of the guy a few years ago. Songs got one of the greatest breaks ever and a sax solo to rival even the late great Thoma 'Beans' Bowls. Frantic stuff but brilliant out LOUD!!

    Not me unfortunately. My limit was 5.5k. Fantastic dancer that if I'd have been a little flusher I'd have tried to snaffle. Hope Pete got it cos that'll mean two copies at Hitsville this year! Back to back Margaret Littles on the Technics? Make a great photo. Also...wifey messed up The Salvadors bid too!! Not a good day!

    Kiddo, It's a term the US soul clubs instigated when they played records that had a sixties Go Go feel to them because they couldn't find 'proper' soul records.

    I have the Metro and the Crackerjack promo. I never realised they were different! Nice one. Learn summat different everyday.

    There is a bill that hopefully will be being passed through our congress where I will get paid when a record is played. That's a whole different mantra to 'tracking down secret rare record collections'. Best hide that Van Gogh under the bed in case his Grandkids come looking for a % of the millions Sotherby's regularly get for it eh?

    Had most of the ones menbtioned here over the years. Especially in the 80s when it was a tad unfashionable to collect UK. Never had a Wayne Fontana - Give Me Just A Little More Time - stocker though. Didn't even know about it until a few years ago. Anyone got one/had one?
  21. Dave Moore
