Be sure to flip that Trumains 45 over for the awesome "I'm At The Breaking Point", one the most loved and played soul 45s I've got. The other Trumains 45 on the label "Girl Don't Let Me Down" is a fabulous ballad. Here are Street People (superb releases!!! ):

I'm looking for a copy of: Eddie Jackson - Memories Of A Dream - BREWTOWN If anyone here has got one for sale, please PM me with price etc. Thanks in advance.

I had some requests for soundclips from the Milton Wright and Manhattans LP, so here are: an MP3 with the first minute of each song taken directly from the Milton Wright LP: https://www.shingaling.com/ebay05a/miltonwright.mp3 and an MP3 with the first minute of 6 songs taken directly from the Manhattans LP: https://www.shingaling.com/ebay05a/manhattans.mp3 There's also a freakbeat/mod/psych MP3-mix (for those of you who are interested in that kind of stuff as well) which can be downloaded from my signature below.

Yes, PMed you back just a moment ago.

Capitols - Day By Day / Little Things - GATEWAY 721 From 1964.

Motown often gave the findished recording to a couple of different producers/masterers and pressed up small amount of copies and gave to radio DJs, then watched which version it was that started to take off and then they went with that one. For example there are different mixes of "This Old Heart Of Mine", "Heat Wave" etc. some of them with more bass, some with more tambourines etc. I guess this is what happened with the Jimmy Ruffin tune as well. Sometimes they rush-produced a tune to get it out on the radio, then perfected it for the proper national release. etc. etc. etc.

It's sure is a different mix and drenched in echo. Prefer the "regular" one, but interesting to hear. Thanks for posting it up!

It isn't mentioned and an alternative version isn't included on the "Complete Motown Singles 1959-1961" box-set, so I guess it isn't particularly well known. I haven't heard the echo-version, but it would be really nice to hear if you could post up an MP3 perhaps?

Sorry, I can't help you with that Garden State Choir LP, but keep a lookout on eBay and a copy will most likely turn up. A copy sold for $9.29 buy-it-now only about a month ago. I don't end auctions early, so you'll have to place a bid via eBay for that Manhattans LP if you're interested in it.

Can't help you out Gareth, but keep a lookout on eBay, they turn up every now and then and usually goes for about £40 each. The Dan Penn collectors market seems to have collapsed a bit lately. All 4 sides on those MGM 45s are superb in my opinion, especially "I Need Some One".

I've got a copy which I might be persuaded to part with, but as you hint at, that's one ridiculously rare 45. PM me with trades or cash offer.

I don't have the 45, but here's a scan of a photo copy of it which was posted on some forum a while ago:

These auctions ends in about 2-3 hours. Thanks for looking!

I'm glad you enjoy the LP. An odd release that one.

WOW! I never ever thought I would see that! One of my all-time fave ballads. Thanks for letting us know about this! Awesome!

I'd like a copy of this 45 if anyone's selling. Please, PM me if so.

I did just that, but I think it's very nice with a lovely Gene Page arrangement. It is sorted amongst my pop singles though...

Bloody hell, you're right. My head is still smashed after the 8-hour DJing session I did yesterday... "Long Way" indeed is LP-only.

Yes it was: (and there are plenty of copies on eBay)

Only about 2-3 hours left on these auctions now. Thanks for looking!

Yes that one was REALLY impressive. It regularly sells for £25-£35 on eBay.

Above you wrote about the releases as if they all were by the same band. I thought that you perhaps had been in touch with someone in the group(s?) and know for a fact that all of those 45s were recorded by the same group. I personally think that some (or all) are unrelated groups that by coincidence picked the same band name. Again, I'm not sure about this but just asked you in case you knew for sure. I only know the line-up for the Event group. Not really important as far as the music goes and all of the Determinations 45s I've heard have been good, I'm just interested.
