Is this another version of Marva Whitney on King?

Not the good one from the 70's, that has the proper flip (instrumental called Mr.Hip) and the same yellow label. It has fooled a lot of folk in its time. The one you're on about is more recent and has an orange label.

Don't think you'd get much for those buddy. The Penguins is probably worth more than the others, I'm not a doo-wop expert but Goldmine guide say's $150 on glossy red label 'Dootone' (not Doolite), $40 on blue label, $50 on maroon label and $30 on black label. Fantastic Johnny C & Delfonics are ten a penny....even over here! John

There's a version of the already discussed 'Who you Gonna Run To' (Shades) on the album! It's a Trojan serial number with a Amalgamated label, not unusual though, have several Trojan L.P serial numbers with their offshoot's as labels....Clandisc, Tabernacle, Harry J etc. Best Amalgated L.p is 'Jackpot Of Hits' ...I'm sure you have that Pete, oh and 'Greetings From The Pioneers' is a cracking album too! That's the only 3 albums on that label aint it?

Is this the same group who have the Amalgamated L.P 'Reggae Fever'?....heard there was a dispute as to whether they were actually the Untouchables of 'Tighten Up' fame. Then heard the Untouchables were the Kingstonians....and it goes on and on.... Great L.P by the way!

It's great! can see it doing the business with the funky soul/boogaloo boys.

Is the Cavaliers a Kent Anniversary 45? I know it wasn't issued otherwise.

More than likely. The whole series (she watches it) has had a Northern Soul background score.

Well, a kosher one is gonna cost anything between £60/2000 maybe more as it's in-demand (again!). I got offered a snyde one for £50 and the seller knew it was a boot but that's what he wanted for it, I did see a boot for sale not too long ago for around the £40 mark. I did eventually get a counterfeit off a mate because I needed it for a group member, I must say it was spot on, looked the business and sound quality was great. The way to spot a boot is no official stamp in the run out groove.

Beware the good looking counterfeit, even that goes for a tidy sum!

Slightly different take on their L.P

Male? Could it be Del Davis on Trojan subsidary 'Bread' also released on brown coloured label 'Trojan' 1971

YES! You're quite right mate, I have it in my collection as well!!!

The flip became very popular 'I Thought About You', think the price went up a bit after that.

I must admit, I foresaw the demise of the CD single a few bloody years ago! The CD single is virtually the same as the CD album but not with as many tracks on it! Nobody wants them, they'd rather have the whole CD album. My missus is a great CD lover and hardly ever bought a CD single, she alway's waited for the album to come out. I don't think the CD album will die out and be replaced by mp3's, for some maybe, but most people want something physical that they can hold in their hands and look at/read (the booklets you get with CD albums are great). Vinyl is SEXY and always will be, my 2 teenage daughters love the L.Ps (they're not too keen on the 45's) and one is already going on about buying some decks when she gets her own pad, competition!! Go into HMV and you can buy almost any current album in vinyl format.

Fingers! You got your lines mixed up pal! 'My Heart Is Calling' by Jackie Wilson is NO WAY the same as the Magnificents on Dee Gee, get your stubs outta your ears my dear boy! Anyway, that aside, I now see where you're coming from re- Alt take, which usually means an alternate take to the artists' own cut/still in the can version! You ask if my album only Cds come from my own collection, the answer is definitely yes! You ask Perry about my soul/motown/reggae/ska L.P collection....probably the finest in East Anglia (apart from yours.... ). I look forward to your CD mate and I've p.m'd my address to you ok. All the best mate, John

That reminds me of a book I picked up recently about Wigan Athletic Football Club, it quotes that Wigan is more famous for 'Northern Soul' than football! I had to laugh.

Was popular during the timescale you mention, but not 'massive'. Also done by the Yum Yums.

Ok Johnny, Great CD from what I can see, as a lover of 33's myself and always on the lookout for 'album only' tracks. One question though...On the Temptations - who you gonna run to, Kiki Dee - more today... & Jackie Wilson - my heart is calling.....you've put 'alt version'.......of what? I ask in anticipation! As these were not released anywhere else (or were they?) I look forward to your reply, and if you send me a copy of yours I'll send a copy of one of my fine 'Album Only' CDs that you may find interesting (10 volumes and counting!). Johnny South

Got another L.P by Lou Christie from a car boot few years back 'Lightning Strikes' MGM with a great version of the Motown evergreen '(Love Is Like a) Heatwave'.

Original is vinyl with moulded label. The boot is styrene with stick on label (lighter shade of blue).

Yeah, good one (like your J.J.Jameson avatar, being a Marvel fan myself!), try finding a copy of that L.P nowadays for £1.99.

Think so, also on a OOT e.p from around 1979/80 (other tracks on it were Damon Fox, Christine Cooper & Frankie karl)
