I've seen writings in the past about Phil Flowers and that Philip James on Longwood was his son. They both recorded on the same Longwood label from Rockville Maryland. He definately had a son called Phil. "As the son of the well-known recording artist Phil Flowers Sr., this Washington DC native followed in his father’s footsteps and was destined for show business." https://www.thephilflowersshow.com/ Philip Flowers Jr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohTg-oT4kD4

This looks like the release talked about recently in sales. If it is, it doesn't sound the same as your Youtube link. This should sell, people are looking for it.

I first seen this sales thread a few days after it was listed, i've had and loved the album and 45s for years so i was interested in a different version and contacted Matt. Unfortunately i was a bit late, they had gone and there wasn't a soundfile available. Matching his picture to a Discogs release, I added it to my wants and got the first copy listed on there a few days later. I can confirm it is totally different. The first thing you will notice is there's no vocals on the intro with the repeating "My Baby, My Baby". The vocal is more group than someone actually taking the lead and i think i can hear that soft Curtis vocal in there, deep voiced spoken parts and the bassline does seem prominent in this mix. I've just got it and will give it more attention soon but for those interested it is VERY different to the one i've known for years. Although i ended up purchasing from somehere else i'd like to thank Matt for bringing this to my attention

Jimmy Radcliffe Breakaway 45 Steve Karmen writes: In the case of Pontiac I had stretched the middle section hoping to keep it completely instrumental with no vocals at all. During the wrap up, all the singers would enter and Jim would provide the 'ad lib' fills to inspire America to recall the comercial and then rush out and buy pontiacs. At the session, my client asked Jim if he could ad lib something over the middle section about what it would feel like to be free, or to be set free or break away. What you hear is his first and only ad lib reading. After he had finished, completely bowling over everyone in the booth, my client was seized with the desire to script and improve upon Jim's ad lib. But of course, the performance we used was the first one, because it was the best and most honest.

I don't know of a current price but this record is very rare. Their "Good times bad times" was fetching over four figures at one point and this is far rarer. A great song by a great group.

Sold-Joe Hinton - Don't Tell Her The Truth - Dunhill Goldies VG+ £150-Sold One of the best beat ballads around. Originally unissued at the time of recording.

I think Smash with the Mercury logo started a few years after the original release of this in 1966. More likely to be late 60s or early 70s. I found this out recently when looking at The Festivals "You got the makings" 45 which has two label designs like this Luther Ingram release.

Definately doesn't sound like Al Wilson. More likely to be one of the writers Banks and Hampton, they were writing a lot and singing together when they wrote this.

Sold-Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Flying High Together / Oh Girl - Motown Philippines Ex £100-Sold Very overlooked Motown dancer probably with it being an album only track. I've had this for about 15 years and never seen another. Plays with great clarity unlike some pressings from this region.

It states ℗1972 on some USA 45 issues even though it's a 1976 release, probably that's when the writer first published it. Edit - After looking around i think yours actually was released in 1972, the release number is close to these https://www.discogs.com/Stevie-Wonder-Superwoman-Happier-Than-The-Morning-Sun/release/4353649 https://www.discogs.com/Stoney-And-Meatloaf-What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get-She-Waits-By-The-Window/release/11177181 https://www.discogs.com/The-Supremes-Precious-Little-Things/release/7815801

There's a few releases by them that are unique to South / Central America. "Pickup" got released there on a 7" and there's a nice 4 track E.P from Brazil. I'm still hoping to find my favourite by them on a 7", the great "Moving On" from their first album.

The opening lines to one of the best records ever made You push me when I'm falling and you kick me when I'm down I guess I missed my calling 'cause I should have been a clown
