Yes , Nail on head i could not agree more

yes - looking at that lot I agree Fair point.

. When I retire I’ll be on here all day

I would love to be able to. I work 5 days a week travelling from north wales to Manchester every day average day is 12 hours time is one luxury I do not have

Will you concentrate on Pat Brady’s auction results then I would love to see them every week as well as Mr Manships

I’m not understanding you if you are into collecting records it’s only natural you are going to be interested in what is happening with all things music Including auction results Same with car tans discussion forums People with interest discussing all aspects , especially values achieved at auction fans talking about their hobbies what’s the issue ?

Everyone who is interested in records love to talk records weather in the pub or online what’s the issue?

This is a great tribute to him I found on you tube from all the industry people , it’s a trailer for a film about Freddie Gorman Did it ever get released,? I haven’t seen it

And then by a twist of fate he ended up back at Motown when Berry Gordy bought ric tic he then joined The Originals He along with the rest of The Originals were the go to for backing vocals at Motown, apparently on many big Motown hits later half of 60s And of course the classic “suspicion” NS classic He also co wrote “please mr postman” for the Marvellettes Quite amazing considering he is probably not a famous name generally

Except Ric Tic did not discover Freddie Gorman He was active from the mid 50s. He was writing at Motown and released a 45 in his own name with Motown early 60s The day will come / just for you on Miracle Granted, he achieved more success at Golden World, Notably co writing Just like Romeo and Juliet for The Reflections which sold millions.

The last one he auctioned (an issue if I remember) went for around the same I don’t think people realise how rare it is on uk , or its been forgotten as a dj play I wouldn’t sell my copy anyway cause it’s fabulous

Would probably be an expensive uk 45 if it had been played loads and took off not many us copy’s on Popsike either Classic Motown style Northern that !! I love the way John Manship lists the interesting overlooked and underplayed on his auctions, not just the established biggies

I like the Kim Weston on MGM I had never heard that before really grows and builds , love it I see it’s written by Willie Hutch not really that many copy’s gone though e bay on Popsike either. I take it that it has never had much DJ action Another overlooked gem ?

Not forgetting Bessie Griffins liberty lp which has a couple of outstanding tunes on it , including two little fishes which is a lovely jazzy R&B mover also available on a French ep but get the LP as it has another track on it which is just as good

this is a very good R&B screamer sort of uptempo mod R&B with obvious gospel lyrics and backing
