Always liked "China Gate" Dave, used to think the other side "Saturday Night After The Movies" was a stonkin' Northern Inst! great pick mate steve

Good shout Franc, absolute class! steve

Cheers Bob, yeah Po-So! your right I remember now it's the credits on Sherl's Duo release "How You Feel" and "Let's get the Show on the Road", I have this but the her name is down as Sherl Swote on my issue. Sounds like I need to get a copy of that book! steve

Ultimations on Mar-V-Lus the better known side "Would I Do It Over" on the flip another superb offering "With Out You". Always wanted to know about this group? this is the only 45 I have by them? Did they record other records? were they recording under another name? .... and who was the writer of both sides, namely Po-Jo??(I've seen something like Po-Jo on other Chicago 45''s) Anyone know.... Bob? steve https://youtu.be/M7o470gfoJY

Also came out on Ambassador as "I Dig You" just credited to Gene Anderson This release seems to book for a lot more. But the Royal-Tone issue is far better quality, the Ambassador one is quite muffled imo. steve

Always loved this track Martyn, Yvonne cut some great music with the Sensations she also co-wrote this with Tommy Wicks out of the Sensations steve

can't argue with that Martyn they are indeed mate! steve

Joe Bataan's take on the Jimmy Conwell classic, my fav. version these days Joe Bataan "Under the Street Lamp" https://youtu.be/QLb3RS77QJM steve

yeah you'd think if they were gonna boot it on early Tamla they'd have used yellow? no idea of the market Dave, not our's for sure? maybe for the "Island" market? (flip is "Depend On Me" which was on the flip of "Way Over There" in 1960) steve

as with anything Mr Hughes does, this is fantastic! should be a massive crossover play imho, another of those essential cheapies, pure class for a packet of fags procewise steve

Always liked Smokey's original better myself Dave, got this on a strange "pink" Tamla boot, dunno why it was ever booted like this, any ideas? steve

Ted, your upload has been blocked by WMG, It will always let you (the uploader) play it, but if you check your upload in your channel vid manager it will have a message "video blocked in some countries" next to it, if you click that link it will tell you which countries it's blocked (being WMG, it's probs world wide!) I get this quite a few times on my Youtube channel WMG are really inconsistant as well, sometimes "flagged" but playable world wide, sometimes lists blocked in a list of over 100 countries!! (checked the list once and found my vid was still playable in Jordan??? ) and some times just blocks 'em in Germany?? hth Steve

That's probs coz the stamper for Dynamics release (1016) was re-used for the re issue on Westbound steve

Flip of the oldie "All the Way" Danderliers "Walk On With Your Nose Up" on Midas ..one I might put in the box for Coops "Nowt Fast Nowt Furious" steve https://youtu.be/HwFnrdsJ2Ts

Richard it don't play for me mate when I click the orange triangle? great sound from '74, Loraine Chandler does it again with Jack Asford ...quite like the flip too "Don't Let Me Down" steve

not heard this before Martyn, see it's got different credits? ...nice one mate steve

can never decide which side of this I like best, classy double sider, think I got this in a soul pack? steve

Dunno how that would work Martyn, just thought if there was a sister thread then it would only have one post from each of us that we could go in and edit our own post to update with added tunes. A quick look at that thread before posting to check if track had been posted. atb steve

Really takes off after 1:00 always rated this, but it would have to be first record in a set I'd think? Cool Sounds " Who Can I Turn To" https://youtu.be/T4ZzCQZlYI8 steve

another great cheapy by the man with Mike Terry and Jo Armstead on the credits ya just know it gonna be good! Great flip too with "Drop By My Place" steve

"Mary Wells Greatest Hits" on Sounds Superb (SPR9008) ...as Pete says one of those great budget LP's from the 70's, also has "One Block from Heaven" on it steve

a Great Beat Ballad by the one and only Tommy Hunt... love this man's voice Tommy Hunt "I'll make You happy" Capitol https://youtu.be/dDzoNilQfCI steve

Cracking track this one Aid, also came out on Music Merchant, got it somewhere, but not on this rare label steve
