Ohhh and what about the frst issue / version of 'The Charts - Desiree' that was fifties wasnt it? *Ignore that it was sixties release... that said the Silouettes must have somethig?

didnt know this made a Kent 'Town' single, I have it on orig, but I'd love it on Kent 45 like that... came out on Leedon Down-under.. How about: Barrett Strong - Money (That's What I Want) / Tamla first issue Richard Berry & The Pharaohs - Louie Louie / Have Love will.... / Flip Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton - Hound Dog / Peacock Etta James & The Peaches - The Wallflower (Roll With Me Henry) / Modern

Little Anthony for me, just love his voice, you cant beat it... although I like them all obviously..

Thanks everybody for casting your vote, but no surprises there, I wouldn't have taken any bet that wasn't Edwin... lets face it. Just wished the Marvelettes would have done better On with the next poll!! Mal

We should not forget “Wide Awake in a Dream”. I just played "Rough Out There" / "Wide awake" back to back, deffo the same guy.

Old thread, but its not been mentioned that over here in the Uk at least, it was always thought as Cap City being the original label, not Part III. And it seems as far as I can see that the Cap City 45 fetches allot more money, well it did, today its just silly isnt it.... Got mine from Roger Stewart, cost me a fiver....

sounds like a custom carver, those tracks are not releated via label or production, to my knowledge, only thing that connects those tracks is they are all big northern tracks,, I guess if you can date the time John Anderson was selling the East Coast Connection you could roughly date this disc...

Because its a nice one, dont have the other two on Aussie, wonder if they came out? would have been either HMV or Stateside. W&G did put out some Motown but not this title.

yeah Rod that clips says 'with strings' so I guess thats one of em... Pursist Motown fans on this one, if thats a 'thing' at all, either go with Smokey, Rough it up with Edwin, or Shimmy in with the Marvelettes... I don't mind saying I'm with the Marvelettes.

some great ones there, these are getting a bit weak, but... Universal Minds - I Betcha Norman Rickett - Player Play On Dooley Silverspoon - Game Players Benny Spellman - Fortune Teller The Impressions - Were a Winner Contours – I’m A Winner George & Gwen McCrae - Winners Together or Losers Apart Just Bobby - I'm A Winner Garland Green - You Played On A Player Ben Moore - I Got a Winner in Yo Maurice Williams - How To Pick A Winner The Servicemen - I Need A Helping Hand Candi Staton / Bob Fowler - You Got the Upper Hand True Reflection - Beer Cans And Empty Hands Chuck Jackson - Hand It Over The Dealers - You got it and how about? Abba - The Winner Takes It All

Looking forward to this one Steve, btw did you know as we follow each other on Bandcamp, every time you purchase something I get notified... bit spooky but I can now state I KNOW your music ! laughing Mal

That is a great picture, nice to see JJ's Sister holding his LP, never seen this picture before, where did you grab it Nick?

The Temptations ‎– The Girl's Alright With Me / I'll Be In Trouble / Gordy or Aussie Stateside. Must be in great condition, play and label.\ cheers Mal

they do sound vocally quite near. On 'I Love The Way You Do' by J.T. Rhythm, you can hear phrasing quite like Jay T, but Jay T does sound deeper to me on the 'Road Ahead', although on the flip of that 45 he sounds more like J.T. Rhythm .... Still I think these two singers are different.

Two detroit, One LA release. Wasn't JT / Jay Rhythm real name James Thorpe. The Jay T artist seems to have all been connected with Rene Hall who was LA based for sure. I'd say the top one maybe a differebnt artist, but there are folks on here that will know more.

That explains that then. I wonder whether the Don Costa production connection on Adam & Eve /ABC has any bearing at this point?

Can’t say whether the site I got that from was right or wrong, but maybe there had been a change of lead singer between the groups ? As I say that’s what this Doo Wop collector had stated. Might need to have a listen to both…

I remember it from Albrighton, I guess it got revived.

Interesting, he's a Doo Woper for sure, but looks like he was involved in some good recordings. Maybe not of the calibre of someone like Dean Parish, but I like his music. Did you notice the Don Costa credit on the Reflections ABC 45, links with the Eddie Regan thread below this one...

Just reading a Doo Wop site about Frank Gino, we know his music via his Royal Crest side 'It's Only A Paper Moon' which was very trendy in the late 9ts, but a revelation to me, he was the lead singer with The Reflections on the classic "Like Adam And Eve" ABC. Frank also recorded solo as Darin D.Anna and as Lead singer of the group The High And Mighty. I'm assuming the ABC Reflections are not the same as on Went, and the Capitol group in the early 7ts... dont sound anyway near. He was also in Early Doo Wop group The Royal Aires on Gallo Records, and The Del-Quin's an unrecorded group from Long Island. Interesting singer, I wonder did he record anything else with a Northern edge, or in a Soul Groove? Mal

What year would that Black Magic 45 come out?
