We've had a few recent mentions on here about sleeves and the 45-sleeves.com website. Is it now established that the site - for the time being anyway - is no longer "active", so to speak?
I've just been on the site and the label information and scans appear to be no longer accessible on there.

Sure is Peter but I think Steve has previously said it's acetate only ... and I'm curious if there is literally only the one acetate ... and if so is it Steve's ?
Is there any bio information available on Doni Burdick ? Who was he ?
And if he recorded Candle and Whatcha Gonna Do in 1971 surely it wasn't with the intention of actually releasing them? The sound would have been so dated for the American music scene of the early 70s . Ady mentioned on Soulful Detroit some years ago:

Al Kent says that he "actually recorded 'Where do I go from here' on the Tops with strings. Eddie Holland sang background on it. Man, they nailed it ...".
So the Four Tops recorded a version of Where Do I Go From Here ?!!
Would love to hear that !
Below are variations of "I Believe In Miracles" 7" releases issued around the world during the 70s .
Anyone confirm where the last one comes from ? Jamaican possibly ?
Are there any others I haven't included below ?
