  • A brief intro...
    Soul Fan & Collector since I was 13 yrs Old, Love Detroit, Chicago, NY, Memphis & New Orleans music. (Just all soul music) Primary Focus is Motown, (bit of a completist) more importantly of recent years the early & pre Motown recordings involving Berry Gordy & Billy Davis (Ro-Gor/ Fidelity etc) including all of the related Jobete recordings on other labels. Difficult to select one favourite Soul Record, the 45 that hooked me on soul was Jackie Wilson's  "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher" the ultimate Northern has to Be Johnny Sayles with "Can't Get enough" . For Motown it has to be Barbara McNair & "Your Gonna Love My Baby" so much Motown related to choose from, but again Barbara McNair gets me with "It Was Never Like This" on Warner Brothers. Deep soul has to be Tommy Turner with "I'll Be Gone". For a tinge of "Blues" nothing better than Big Maybelle & "Oh Lord What Are You Doing To Me". The R&B masterpiece for me anyway has to Otis Lee "Hard Row To Hoe".  Finally if ever there was a record that stops you in your tracks and brings tears to your eyes Walter Jackson's "Not You" sheer magic. I Could just go on!

  1. Is it really? On Ebay there are a number of both different numbers, I also have quite a number of other Motown 45's with differing numbers. When I'm Gone was a big seller, is it really rare? I picked up several copies for both, albeit a long time ago.
  2. If of any help, both US Stk copies of the two different numbers are exactly the same and time 2.05, the US Demo copy is listed at 2.10, but I'm sure it is the same at 2.05, anyway all sound same to me? but maybe I'm deaf!
  3. Wanted: Compilation - US Harvey Records · The Singles Collection · 1961-1963 Format:CD Label:Isis Cat#:ISIS 237 Year:2007
  4. Here the stk copy also on Styrene, sorry forgot to send this
  5. "Old Love (Lets Try It Again)" by the Four Tops was never issued on Album or 45, until 2004 on CD when "Motown Sings Motown Treasures" Vol 2 was issued. If you ever want to review any or all Motown US Albums (on every label), you won't find anything better ever! even including everything by Motown as distributors (CTI etc) : https://www.bsnpubs.com/motown/motown/motown.html The CD issues on Ebay Vol 2 is the hardest to find. "Motown Sings Motown Treasures CD Vol 1+2"
  6. Only issued on 45 in the UK, In the US they issued a very few promo copies Live for Marvin 5.30 mins long. It's on youtube if of any interest:
  7. In the late 1996 t’s. The CD’s that came out by Tim Brown & Martin Kopell, they made reference to the Millionaire who won on the lottery (without any names) and issued the two CD’s. If you have “Millionaires Only” Vol1 inside the sleeve they reference the lottery. (part his"Nick Name" & the other his "Surname")
  8. After a copy of Sidney Barnes Biography
  9. Jack was key to Motown's growth as one of the senior members of staff, it's ironic that there is little information or any details from Motown concerning Jack Gibson, as he joined berry and Motown from 1961 to 1966. Jack was supposedly selling off bootleg Motown Albums in 1966 when Bery sacked him, there is another issue that Berry would have had with Jack. If you have had the opportunity to work out the Miss Motown 45 from the 3 tracks you will also understand the reasons as to why Jack Gibson became a ghost. Big thanks for the pics it supports further everything we now know.
  10. Ray's bio is well worth the read ( presume you have a copy) especially chapter 10, the team had been working throughout 63, and yes they had published songs. However it's the issue of a record that matters, other than one record that was issued in 63 namely: The Chiffons "A Love So Fine" it only happened with the support of the Tokens who wanted the record out as the Chiffons were on a "roll". However in 1964 "Motown NY" issued eleven 45's some of the greatest soul music of all time (i'm biased but it still is) . As good as the 45's were they didn't bring in much cash, Berry wouldn't cough up anymore funds & Ray had to find more money to survive. Desperate for cash, 5000 bootleg pressings turned up, the rest we know. I do believe irrespective of the bootleg records, that the records they had and issued during the early part of 1964 would not have financially secured Motown NY. If there are any of the 12 records sound files that you don't have let me know. I can mail you directly. Thanks.
  11. Eddie would welcome anything if its incorrrect.
  12. Ady thank you for the feedback, appreciate it.
