Anoraks Corner

Here's the silver label copy I sold on here many moons ago.

Hello. My name is David and I prefer the Tammy St.John version. Thank you.

I once had the pleasure of listening to some tapes of Jamie/Guyden recordings...lots of alternate takes/mixes etc. There was also one uptempo Motown-ish instrumental that I could never pin point down...maybe unissued was the comment. Then, many years later I found myself in a little shop in deepest Tokyo and I played an oddball Jamie label 45 from an artist I'd never come across...and lo and behold it was the very same instrumental! I'll try and load a soundfile later this week, time permitting...feel free to guess what it may be...very obscure!!

Thanks for info, chaps (Copy for sale at a very reasonable £75 )

Ston-Roc Records A division of TAC Theatrical Enterprises. Suite 608, 1346 Broadway Detroit, Michigan. 'The Motor City 45 RPM Sound!' SR 101/2 Tony & Tyrone - I May Not Have / A Fool Am I (R4KM-679/10) TAC 6711 Tony & Tyrone - Talking About The People / Don't Ever Leave Me (R4KM-6711/2) 814T 0761 Ronny Shannon - One Way Street / Hot Stuff (TK4M-0761/2) 814T-4663 Ronny Shannon - Determination / You're Gonna Need Me (T4KM-4663/4) All produced by Ted White and all pretty good Detroit/Northern...are there any other releases on this label? Any photos of Ronny Shannon?

Here's one that I'm surprised hasn't received more scene spins given the Funky edge feel to it, well in vogue nowadays! Plus it has a heavy bassline and wailing harmonica...gritty...love it! Looking at the credits MAC and Ed Thomas leads me to think that this could possibly be Dorothy Moore (aka Cambridge)?

Shame the 1st press of Ann D'Andrea doesn't feature the instrumental only found on the reissue. That backing track rocks!

I see Manship is auctioning a copy of his 'Just The Other Day' at the moment...quite tough on a stock copy, as are a few of the Abet releases. Sometimes you gotta curse those double-sided demos!?! Here's another one worth checking out if you like JTOD...and dare I say this one is rarer...especially on a stock copy to get both sides: Bring My Baby On Home / That's What Love Will Do - Abet 9423 BMBOH is another mid-paced super-Soulful mover...has anyone ever played it out?

I know I've listed these before...they sold...these I am selling on behalf of a fellow collector over here. Both items are in superb near mint condition. Prices are set...no offers. Johnn McCall I Need You Baby Alteen £350 ON HOLD Big demand for this ultra-Soulful mover! New Sounds LP Japanese P.Vine £75 ON HOLD Packed with great tracks inc.

I included 'Hercules' on a LP/CD compilation I did back in '92 called, 'Grits & Grooves'...a mixture of Cross-over and 'Rare-Groove' (remember that phrase!?). Not a bad selection, though I say it myself...pity the graphic designers didn't follow my instructions...the colours they used for the sleeve were not what I had in mind! Sold fairly well though. 1 Aaron Neville - Hercules 2 Johnny Adams - I Don't Worry Myself 3 Ted Taylor - Something Strange Is Going On In My House 4 Ann Sexton - Color My World Blue 5 Tommie Young - You Can Only Do Wrong So Long 6 Meters, The - Tippi Toes 7 Maceo & All The King's Men - Got Ta Getcha 8 Ironing Board Sam - Man Of The Street 9 Lee Dorsey - Give It Up 10 Ann Sexton - You're Gonna Miss Me 11 Meters, The - Look-Ka Py-Py 12 Bobby Patterson - I Get My Groove From You 13 Brief Encounter - Human 14 Ted Taylor - How Do You Walk Away From Fear 15 Ann Sexton - I'm His Wife, You're Just A Friend 16 Aaron Neville - Struttin' On A Sunday 17 Meters, The - Chicken Strut 18 Lee Dorsey - Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky (From Now On) 19 Tommie Young - Hit & Run Lover 20 Bobby Patterson - Everything Good To You (Don't Have To Be Good For You)

Must admit I have seen more WDs of this one...here is the West Coast stock copy aka issue...the rarest format?

Well remembered. 'Only forget those things that aren't worth remembering', as a wise man once said!

...and then of course there is the Whispers', 'It Only Hurts For A Little While'!

Out of interest (hopefully!?)... I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across this Japanese Columbia copy (not for sale).

Found this a couple of weekends ago...'A Mississippi Artists Corp. Production'...both sides...and what wonderful sides they are!

Nice one...wonder if that is 23-1 or 23-3...or a mistaken 'Soul SOUND'? Here's the Extra Kicks on 23-0...good rollicking R'n'B dancer...have a spare if anyone is interested...£25.
