Betty Mabry Davis RIP 10 Feb 2022
A very under rated artist. The BBC ran a very interesting documentary on Betty's life late last year. Might still be available to stream.

Poll: Version Battle - Your Song
Oh dear. This is a tricky one. Three classic and feted artists and a song recorded at a time when instrumentation took a back seat to disco rhythm patterns. Clearly this recording is none of the selected artists' best and, some may argue, recorded after these artists best years. For me Laura Lee has always excelled with slower material where she can wring the full emotion from a song so that leaves me to select from The Dells and The Tops. The disco arrangements are fairly similar so the choice is between the better lead voice of Levi Stubbs or the excellent Dell harmonies. This is real toss of a coin stuff but, for me, The Four Tops edge it.

Poll: Version Battles - Hurt So Bad
I think you are being a tad harsh on the Philly Devotions but agree that Little Anthony takes top honours this week. The Delfonics did a great version too;

Poll: Version Battle - Way Over There
Another one here for Edwin. Just so much punchier than the other two. Probably because it is Norman Whitfield producing.

The resurgence of vinyl records
Presume the store was offering you £90 to take the album from them! Seriously though, this issue does seem to be the reduction in number and capacity of pressing plants following vinyl's demise from the 90's onwards. Presume the start up cost must be huge and finding (experienced) labour a difficulty.

Pre-order sales ?
The way things seem to be going it would appear additional pressing plant facilities are desperately required. Also the smaller limited run labels are likely to get even more squeezed when the Majors start to ramp up vinyl pressings.
