I'd like to recommend these if you haven't heard them: Ike Lovely - I Want It All Blues Busters - I've Gotta Get There Bettye Swann - My Heart Is Closed For The Season Jodi Mathis - God Is Love Buddy Causey - There's A Way

Yes, Jonte (who also run the Club Function nights) plays it quite regularly.

Going by that date suggestion thing, I guess that the release numbers that it applies to should be read like this: Ru-Jac 10-26-68 - Fred Martin Jr & The Exciters - Hot Dog / Love Don't Leave Me Now - 1968 Ru-Jac 4-10-70 - Sir Joe - Baby I'd Drop Everything / Every Day (I'll Be Needing You) - 1970 (Joe Quarteman) Ru-Jac 5-26-70 - Gene & Eddie - It's No Sin / You've Got To Love Sometime - 1970 Ru-Jac 9-1-70 - The Fred Martin Review - Take Me Back Again / I Know It's Going To Happen - 1970 Ru-Jac 1-6-71 - Gene & Eddie - Why Do You Hurt Me / Darling I Love You - 1971 Ru-Jac 1-7-71 - The Dynamic Corvettes - Keep Off The Grass / It's A Trap - 1971 Ru-Jac 1-8-71 - Saturday - Changes Part 1 / Changes Part 2 - 1971 Ru-Jac 1-9-71 - Saturday - Changes Part 1 / Changes Part 2 - 1971 Ru-Jac 2-17-71 - Fred Martin Revue - Sugar / When I Am Alone - 1971 Ru-Jac 5-7-71 - Utopian Concept / Francine Long - Days May Come, Days May Go / Same - 1971 Ru-Jac 8-11-71 - Saturday - The Drums & Bells Of Christmas / The Love Of A Child - 1971 Ru-Jac 3-22-72 - The Fred Martin Review - I Loved You Once / Go On Back - 1972

Just for future reference, here is an original:

She released at least six 45s on this label and one or two LPs. Which track do you need?

Thanks for the podcast link, will download and listen!

Yes it's on a 45 on the Chartmaker label: His 45 as "Bobby Joe Ott" was issued on Metromedia. He also issued a nice (and expensive!) psych LP on Chartmaker which includes the superb "Shades Of Blue". Here's the LP:

There are no convincing reissues of this 45 as far as I'm aware. All the copies I've seen with "stereo" printed on the right side are pressed on styrene (and should be avoided on that basis, in my opinion) and the ones with "stereo" on the lower left side are pressed on vinyl. Then there are all sorts of demos, test pressings etc. A good selling record at the time of release which was pressed at several different pressing plants in the US, hence several different label variations to be found out there.

It's styrene.

GREAT DUO and pretty much all of their release are worth picking up. I like all tracks already mentioned but also check out "Gotta Put Something In" and "Love's In Command", superb modern soul dancers both of them.

Only about 4-5 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking! :-)

As with many other major label 45s, the Art Freeman 45 was pressed at many different pressing plants around the US at the same time for different regional markets (instead of pressing all 45s at one plant and then shipping them out to all parts of the US). There are many variations of original Art Freeman 45s out there.

Just pulled out "Sitting In The Park" and gave it a spin for the first time in years. Superb tune!

Which Atac copy have you got? ATAC 102 or ATAC 7823? I just want to rule out whether one of the Atac releases has got better sound quality than the other. I see above that the ATAC 7823 label states the timing as 2:02 while the Mala copy states 2:32.

About two days left on these auctions now.

I remember reading that the sound quality on Mala copies is better than on Atac copies. Is this true? And if it is true, is it true for BOTH Atac releases?

I'm glad you enjoyed the mix(es). Here you go: Dennis_Lee___Notables___Sunday_Afternoon___JENMARK.mp3

...and also available on US Arista 7" and 12".

I just pulled out my "Dancin' With Melba" LP and it indeed looks like her in the Voices Incorporated photo.

Neither the LP or the 45 mentions Melba Montgomery, Melba Moore or Melba Hill. That doesn't mean that it still can't be Melba Moore ofcourse. I don't know. See below.

Hello! I've listed a bunch of LPs on eBay. There are label/sleeve scans to all records and soundclips to some.

Someone named Melba Smith is credited on the LP as singing "Thinkin'". Isn't Melba Moore's real name Melba Hill? Or am I confusing things? Garrett Saunders is also credited on the LP as being in the group. Same guy as on "A Day Or Two" on Serock perhaps?

If you mean the ones that looks like the one below, then it's a bootleg made a couple of years ago:
