The Lewis Sisters 45s are from 1965.

THE CONTORS... Absolutely useless bootleggers!

£3-£5.

Just found a photo of the Mello Souls 45 on an italian web site: https://soulconnection.too.it/ https://digilander.li...kenny/kenny.htm

Brilliant version in my opinion.

Plus the re-issue has got "RABBIT FACTORY INC." on the right side of the label (instead of "KAT 276755B") so pretty easy to spot. ORIGINAL on the left side and RE-ISSUE on the right side below:

Yes, the scan of the blue label 45 is the 70s bootleg which David Flynn mentioned above.

And here it is (scan taken from Manship's guide):

That's a seriously good and rare 45. I've never seen another copy apart from the one I have (and included in the November 2007 mix that you mentioned).

I think Marva Whitney's version is superb:

The original release was on CHARLIE as Michael's Mystics. It was later picked up by METROMEDIA and issued as by The Mystics.

Sorry, don't have a copy of either for sale, but the original version is by Nova's Nine, issued on ABC. The tune is written by Bob Mann who was a member of that group.

The 4:51 long COLUMBIA release of Philly Devotions "I Just Can't Say Goodbye" was mixed by Tom Moulton and it is a better/punchier (and longer) mix than the issue on DON DE.

Don't know if it's the same guy, but there's a Tony Turner that is supposed to be David Ruffin's godson and apparently also workded as a Motown road manager. Interview with him: https://www.classicba...rInterview.html He's also written some books about The Temptations and The Supremes: https://www.amazon.co...t_athr_dp_pel_1

That might explain why I've never been able to find that 45 (as by Angela Davis)!

The japanese copy above is a reissue from 1993. The reason it was made available in mono is probably because that is the best mix of the album and the way it was supposed to sound at the time of release. The japanese P-VINE LPs usually use the "proper" intended source when they reissue stuff.

I really like his original version of "Soulful Kind Of Music" on CROWN LTD:
