Probably someone who knows there are wanna-be DJ's out there so eager to play they'd even pay. Mind, not saying Gordy is a wanna-be!

My initial plan was 24 podcasts, yes. After vol.24 quite a few people told me to continue so I did.

Sounds from The Shelter vol. 27 - "Foot stompin' music" now online: Mix of Northern and R&B, Crossover and 70s, Midtempo and Beat Ballads. Recent purchases and old favourites. Carl Douglas Set, Afrodisia and Carol Williams are german-only releases. The Bellaphon release is the only way to get this nice Motown cover by the Three Degrees on 45. Babs Mercer is local label and much better mix than on Capitol. Mary Wheeler is the second best version of this stunning beat ballad. I'll save the very best version for the next podcast. Jesse Johnson . Left out . Old Town 45 Carl Douglas Set . You don't know (what I know) . German Bellaphon LP The Reflections . Girl in the candy store . Golden World 45 Count Yates . Chimpanzee .

I like the vid. Well done. Yes, bloke got a silly haircut. But at least he's clean-shaven. Unlike most 20-30 years blokes around here, they're all bearded. Lumberjack goes Uptown sort of look.

Well, not all of them. "This little boy of mine" is definitely Doug Banks (IMO). The version of Baby Since You Went Away you posted sure isn't.

Yes.

No idea who the backup group is but it's not Doug Banks singing. Probably a blue eyed effort. And not bad IMO.

Quote from a Turbulations YT vid: Out of Marshall High on Chicago's west side The "Original" Turbulations were Thomas Griffith (Marzette's older brother)Willie Lawson, Donald Wright, Michael McElroy & Anthony Redmond

There used to be a loop hole in belgian copyright law. Don't remember the details but it was something like you pay your fee to SABAM and sell your product in Belgium only, then you're fine. That's how the Popcorn guys got away with issuing 100's and 100's of bootleg CDs in the 80s and 90. I guess it applies to the bootleg 45s too.

All the dutch Tamla-Motown releases from the 60s on the orange label had big holes.
