Hi VillaBoy
The Inspirations "Touch Me ............"/ "Funny Situation" was released on Black Pearl 100 in June 1967
The again on Black Pearl 711 with "What Am I Going To Do With You, Hey Baby" as the flipside
Think it was also bootlegged back in the 70s due to northern demand for "Touch Me......" but I don't know the details of how to spot a wrong 'un, sorry
Cheers Paul
Think Neil Rushden had something to do with the "Columbia Special Products" and these are 100% legit
Love The Vibrations record, discovered by Soul Sourcer Tony Rounce I believe
Cheers Paul
Well Mike you're right "Smokestream" was released twice in 1973
First as the "b" side to "Sinner (Have You Been There)" as Brothers, Sisters and Cousins on Nasco 029
Then as the "b" side to "Did I Scare You" as Bits & Pieces on Nasco 031
"Sinner (Have......)" is the "A" side to "Keep On Running Away" on Nasco 033 released in November 1975
With thanks to the "Soul Harmony Singles" book for the info
Cheers Paul
Is "Did I Scare You" the flipside of "Smokestream" ?
I only have the promo copy which is "Did I......" both sides
Agree with you Val both good records
Cheers Paul
You definately got a bargain quality/soulful music wise I reckon jim g but I don't think its a particularly rare/exspensive one.
Hope you like it................if you don't I'll give you a fiver for it
Cheers Paul
Think you got a bargain there jim g
I have the 45 of "Let It Flow" on Atlantis, a 45 of "Boy Your Growing On Me" on UK Contempo, and a 45 of "Creepin' "/ "Reaching Out For Your Love (Touch Me Baby)' on UK Arista !!!
"Let It Flow" also got released on Polydor as the flipside to her "Can"t Live Without Your Love" 12
I"ve also got a 12 of "Let It Flow" on US TK or Alston (can't be arsed to go and check right now) which I think is a slightly different mix
Really rate "Reaching Out.................." a great Johnny Bristol written song
Think Tamiko Jones is very underated, her "In Muscle Shoals" LP is worth checking too
Cheers Paul
HI nev
Turbo and All Platinum records are notoriously badly recorrded
I could be talking myself out of a bargain here but I don"t think it got re issued on Turbo ?
