Unfortunately there is no UK source for the book from what I can see and it is expensive for less than 200 pages.
The kindle version looks more appealing at £11
During various moves and a divorce I seem to have lost a few anniversary badges. I've managed to gain a few but can anyone help me fill the gaps please.

I think "Do What you Gotta Do" is the best soul record the Tops did but ask 100 people and you'll probably get 100 different answers, the same with the the top 100 Motown, count you would get two answers then same.
We have to remember we are not the market for Rolling Stone. The 100 we would choose will be unknown to the majority of RS's readers.
The same argument was had with Motown's 60th celebrations, that's why I did an alternative unreleased 60 at 60.
As always subjective and very emotive.

Don did have memory of Cheatin Kind ad he told us when we went for dinner he sent a tape down to Vanleer and that he never heard back. But you are right the industry, especially back then was full of unscrupulous people, companies and crooks.

I’ve said elsewhere on here that my belief is it is Carol Bayer Sager with a new partner. Given the numbering of Carol and Sherry and Carol and Gerri logic would suggest it is.
I did email Carol a few years ago to ask but she didn’t respond, probably a time she doesn’t wish to reflect upon or she didn’t get the mail. I did send it through her site as well.
