Not seen a stocker of Cruisers Bob, got a couple of white demo's but find it's one of those that suffers from Gamble's crap vinyl pressings myself (bit like Oliver Bush) as you will know, it's got a great sweet flipside their version of "Picture Us"

cheers for the info Robb, regarding Altrasonics & Versatones, didnt know Versatones were at Motown,did they have any releases under another name there? (know there's no releases under that name at Motown)
...always wondered bout the extended credits on the 2nd release on Atac.
steve
no probs Ian, really pleased for ya mate, sounds like your hard work is really gonna pay off with the Philly stuff, really hope you finally get access to the vaults, know what it would mean to ya!
steve
Indeed Rod it came out twice on Atac, I've got it as Geno Washington
Atac 102 as Gino Washington, and
Atac SW7823 as Geno Washington with the Altrasonics and the Versatones (great backing groups names!)

Yet another classy version of this oft' recorded tune, One of those songs where I've yet to hear a bad version? (unless Mrs Miller ever recorded it? )
got another version here by Pat Thomas and the more than worthy flip to it too! used to think Pat's was the first take? but think Justine washington pre-dates it by a year? Justine's is credited to Norman Meade and Chip Taylor, where as Pat's is credited to Jerry Ragovoy and Chip used to wonder about this 'till I found out "Norman Meade" was a pen name of Jerry Ragovoy!
