Nice one Sherlock! mine is on both sides! steve

thing is, it may be under the S on your copy but could be anywhere on the label for any copies steve

The "hallmarks" are at times very hard to distiguish. they are just after the rise in the vinyl from the centre spindle hole, on mine it looks like "21 Co" and is similar to Salvador markings I've noted ? as I said they can be very hard to find, so have a reeal good feel round the label in the area I said. Dunno if this helps at all mate? steve

Indeed it is Mick... "It Must Be Love" always goes down well at wakefield steve

Remember long time ago, when I bought my copy of "Ooh Boy" off a mate and he had two copies, I took the one without the demo sticker!!! Also saw a copy of "Ooh Boy" going through Ebay on the scan you could see where someone had peeled off the demo sticker Ouch!!! Only seen stick on demo stickers on Golden World issues? (mind trying to think which ones other then Adorables? and a Reflections, but can't remeber which one?) steve

You are right Tony, though Wanda was the voice of the Marvelettes as we come to know them (never better in my opinion then on their far superior version of "I Want A Guy" which for me will always mark out the girls in front of the supremes) Gladys WAS The Marvelettes. It is sad to see her passing away. The Marvelettes will always be for me, Motown's PREMIER girl group. First record I bought by the girls was Holland Dozier Holland's "Locking Up My Heart" not my fav now, but still love the trade off lead vocals between Gladys and Wanda so here is both of them! marvelettes - locking up my heart - tamla much respect to that little girl from Inkster, a major stamp on my birth to the music I love. steve

It's in the matrix number in the run out, if it's upside down then it's a boot (looking out from edge of label) hth steve

Sound quality is good Rod, and can clearly hear those "tinkly" bits you were on about. steve

Just flipped my copy, and along with the right markings on A side does indeed have LW on flip, but then again the label colour is what I would think a faded Orange? and honest Sir! I haven't just scratched in a "LW" with my school compass! steve

Dave, ya might get a demo of the first issue on MAH's 1037 The one with " Fun To Be Young" on the b side of "Together We Shall Overcome", but the re-press Ed Wingate done (to try and cash in on the surge of local interest in the tune in the aftermath of the death of Martin Luther King) and with the Solid Hit track "It's Better To Love" on the flip would maybe get pressed without a demo? being done to feed a perceived demand on the streets? dunno....but maybe steve

er, nope! maybe Ike did call Anna May Bullock (Tina Turner) "Little Ann, but this lady is (or saddly was RIP) Ann Bridgeforth and her "Deep Shadows" is a sublime piece of Soul music. hth steve

Sounds good Dave! be locked in to this! steve

Ken, all the early Phil-LA stuff I got are on vinyl which one ya got? it aint Afreda Brockington is it? that deffo re-issued on styrene steve

Just checked that episode out Sean, Brilliant!. ...and what about "I Found A Love" sublime Soul! ...think I could spend some time over at Daryl's house! steve

Fantastic! thanx for that Mike steve

I've met Colin Stubbs who runs it, Top bloke! and a Top Soulie with great taste I know he's DJ'd a bit Greatstone and the like, not heard from him in a while. steve

...agree 2 stunning sides and cheap! Aint the same as Timi's Randazzo tune though! two different songs Barbara Mercer gotta be one of Mike Terry's finest moments, boths sides! every home should have one! steve steve

Agreed Dave, that boy Plumby played a blinding set of tunes this morning The quality of some of the stuff coming out on 45 at the moment is breathtaking Respect to all those that are getting this music out on the good old black stuff steve

Dynavoice had 2 designs, one for the bell distributed series and one for the later Dot distributed steve

Specials must have been pressed up twice? here's scan of one I got..... Different writer credits too? steve

here is a link to an article by The Scottish Daily Record, reporting on Gill Heron's passing Gill Heron steve

Wow! that must be a record! ...on a serious note Gill Scott Heron's Dad did play for Glasgow Celtic! steve
