Apart from "The Collectors Guide to Detroit" originally compiled by Rod Dearlove many moons ago, could anybody enlighten me as to whether there has been any similar publications (related to detroit) since. I am aware of the project currently being worked on by I believe Keith Rylatt for which I eagerly await completion and publication. I'd be grateful for any feedback

When I was out in Bradenton Florida last year staying with friends, I did the thrift stores and came up trumps with a fistful of 45's, the best find being Tommy Frontera-Your'e my leading lady on Hi-lite for 15 cents, also had some local contacts, through friends again who were very switched on to the Garage/estate sales.Also the Tampa Bay record fair (where I met Dave & Jan who were promoting The Hitsville Soul club) which turned up some nice pices albeit the dealers tend to refer To John Manships price guide, however near the finish time were willing to drop their prices somewhat. All in all I came home happy

Nige ,while upstairs,please play one for US, see you soon mate........wilxy.

I will also be selling off my UK motown E.P. collection in due course, plus many obscure foreign issues, for which I will consider trades for US issues I require . Regards Wilxy

I am very pleased to announce I have secured a copy of the item in question, pending the US airmail, and of course our very own postal service!!!!!!

A Little Togetherness- Younghearts is a record that makes me proud to belong to such a unique way of life and still raises the pulse rate when I hear it

Thanx Martyn

Seems I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time,as I'd given up on the thread and have missed out on a couple of opportunities to clinch a copy, can't find it on ebay, but I won't give up.......Issue or demo please

Agree totally with BrianB, I was also lucky enough to attend the Hebden Bridge do, inclusive of the pre-main event at the Comrades Club, just around the corner from the cinema, again Connoisseurs Motown , from Roman Ginger & TerryJones.I can honestly say it was one of the best functions I've attended in a long time. Also the other points raised by Netspeaky with regard to the Motown catalogue depth, as being primarily a Motown vinyl collector, I know how much space it takes up, but to each and his own etc.etc.
