Hi Jock I've got one of his LP's somewhere, think it's later than the 45 discussed. But he also had at least one 60's 45 on this label as well, seems like he is a good old trouper.

That would make sense Steve if it's just a re-issue of a U.S. release, is the Dutch 45 a 70's release or 60's

I agree, been playin' it on the radio, always to a great response, long intro version .............

Thanks Pete, so it did get a U.S. release. Does anyone know when the Dutch 45 came out ??? MOONSHOT RECORDS,Philadelphia,pa 1965-1968. 6701 The dippers - honey bunch pt1/pt2 6702 The Vontastics - lady love/when my baby comes back home. 6703 The Delfonics - He dont really love you/without you. 6705 Virgil Blanding - Birth of a man/little girl there's going to be trouble 6706 The Subway riders - adam/after the session 6707 Sub dominants - Anyone can do it/bang bang 6708 Jimmie Raye - that'll get it/its written all over your face 6709 6710 Cliff nobles - little claudie/pony the horse 6711 landy - mama dear/doctor good soul 6712 Tony fox - Say what you mean,mean what you say/powerful love

Wrong thread, sota

So whats the story on this 45, found one 2day in an old box, can't remember where it got it from or how much I paid for it. Can't find out much on the web about it, apart from some Dutch site which says it's worth 15euros and a playlist for Arthur Fenn where he played it at Boomerang ????? Jimmie Raye - That'll get it/It's written all over your face - Injection TAR 61020 TGI, is a nice slightly funk crossover side, IWAOYF very nice 60's beat ballad.

Yep, I guessing that the acetate version came before the TO 45, they sound about 4-5 years apart.

Bretby/Manchester Ritz period

I know things chopped and changed a lot then, but I'm with Eddie, if Richard is on there and looking at some of the titles, would have thought this recording was a little later than the first month of opening.

I agree Chicago is also have real problems, bit at least it has a strong tax base and with this happening, maybe a wake up call to.

-------------------- Detroit Is Bankrupt ------------------- The Motor City has hit the buffers, it's been a long time coming. For those of us that have been visitors there for many years the continual decline of this once great city has been sad to see. The roots of this lie as far back as the as the early 1960's with the driving of the interstates through the city, isolating area and laying the seeds for the growth of ghettos. This was then compounded by the first round of auto industry contraction, rise in unemployment and hitting a peak with the 68 riots and 'White Flight'. In the 1970 it didn't get any better, with continued middle class flight of all ethnicities, large numbers of Vets coming back from Vietnam with drug problems, the deprivation and violence just spiralled out of control, Detroit City was no longer the city of dreams, but now the murder capitol of the U.S. To add insult to injury through all this time it also had to suffer a succession of both incompetent and in many cases corrupt 'City Fathers', the administration just added to the problems. This is not to say that all of Detroit is in trouble, this bankruptcy only applies to Metro Detroit & the city of Highland Park (the real Motown). Much of greater Detroit is fine. But downtown is in trouble at an administrative level. It continues to operate at a basic level, there is a Police force, but they have some of the worst response times in the U.S., the trash is collected, some of the time, the schools still open, but only as a basic function. Is there light at the end of the tunnel, no one really knows. On a 'Off Gride' level the city is vibrant, still exciting and over 700,000 still live there and many by choice. But with such a small tax base, the current $12b deficit can not be over turned, without major Federal help. There is a building boom for high end condos, the major sports teams have all return to the city and the casinos are booming. But all of this is happening ad hoc with no over arching plan, no strong leadership. I still love the city and hope for a brighter future, but this news is a sad day for the city.

and one more the group the Significants that had two releases on Alesvers

Here a couple more. One is a one off concert for a well know Detroit DJ George White. The other not a poster strictly speaking, but a news paper add for The Bitter & Sweet, but it's possible this is the closest they came to a poster.......
