  1. Nice show Dave! Regarding the Johnny Scott 45, I was once told there's no obvious difference between the spoken intro copies and the others. Unless there's something marked in the runout?
  2. Can't answer Pete's question regarding the Nancy Wilson Australian promo, but here's my NZ issue, which is very similar.
  3. Here's a few more: Japan Chile New Zealand Brazil Chile Australia Australia Brazil Canada
  4. Nice one Tony! What were the other tracks they put out on that EP then?
  5. Also "Trapped in a love" was suspected to be the missing release on UK Invictus, but never to my knowledge confirmed or otherwise.
  6. Third one again, could it be PP Arnold on Immediate? "Everything's gonna be alright" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq0SnoRq9yc
  7. Here's a scan of the NZ issue - not mine though, I just have a UK copy.
  8. Come on then Mr Flynn... make with a picture of it Seriously, I for one would love to see it.
  9. I stand corrected about the spelling Bob, you're correct - sorry... But I'm sure it was him who was lead singer on this song... This Youtube page sort of confirms it as well:
  10. The lead singer of this song was Kenny Burke, he would have been 15 at the time
  11. Likewise for me - this side was the reason I bought it, and I thought I was late picking up on it then... well over 15 years back! Mind you, around a year ago I heard something played somewhere that I didn't recognise and it sounded interesting, when I asked what it was it turned out to be.... Gypsy! Did I feel embarrased when I said I'd already got it
  12. I think it's generally accepted by quite a few people that Linda could sing the telephone book and make it sound great! Mind you, did she ever do a really bad recording?
  13. Thanks Bob, do you have any other info, like when it was released, release number etc. I did once start making up a list of their releases but found there was already one on the Soulful Detroit site and it didn't mention one on Polydor. Here's a summary: Map City 301 11/69 We Can Fly To The Moon / Only One Of A Kind Map City 305 1970 We Can Survive / Cat and Mouse Verve 10655 11/71 Right Now / We Done Threw It Away Lion 122 09/72 You MAde Me A Brand New World / Right Now (arr. Joe Falsia) Lion 148 03/73 Forgotten Man / Left In The Lost And Found (arr. Johnny Pate) Lion 164 05/74 Making My Daydream Real / Whatcha Done For Me, I'm Gonna Do For You Members were Robert Taylor, Shabi Weems, Billy McEachern and Terri Gonzales. Billy McEachern later turned up as a member of Odyssey - the "Native New Yorker" outfit. All six of their singles were written / produced by Landy McNeal. The matrix numbers for the Lion singles indicate that they're New York recordings so it looks as if NY was their home base. ************************** I wonder how many other releases are missing from this? - At least one on Polydor...
  14. I don't suppose this is the same We The People who recorded for Map City, Verve & Lion by any chance? I don't know of this one?
  15. I've got her other LP on Aware, "Cry to me" - AA 2008 That's a promo also, with the printed programming guide along the bottom like the one shown above. So I think you can rest assured it's going to be OK when it arrives!
  16. Dave, Both albums are the same mix as on the 45
  17. If it's a price you're after, I don't have a clue. It came out in the UK in November 1969 as the flip side to "We must be in love" There were 2 releases on Curtom with different flip sides, the first one had the lovely ballad "Baby make me feel so good" as the A side (1936) then later the same year, 1969 the same release as the UK 45 you ask about (1945) I can't imagine it being very expensive to pick up a Buddah copy, but as I've had one since the '70s not really taken note of the price recently.
  18. You sure it's Irish Dave? Looks more like Canadian to me.... specially when it's printed along the bottom of the label Were you thinking of another record by chance?
  19. That reminds me, I've got this on UK Contempo as well as a Ronn White promo - Both having "Going in the hole" on the flip side. But also I've another copy an issue, this time it has "Ollie Mae" on the other side! Both Ronn copies are the same release number Ronn 65 - oddly it's listed in JM's book as with "Ollie Mae" on the flip. not "...hole", which I've usually come across over the years
  20. I've got an Irish copy of Al Green's "I'm still in love with you" - also on that Silver top logo.... somewhere....
  21. So... would the LP by Side Effect - "Effective" come under this?
  22. So what's that about on 'Mr Man's' recent auction about dark blue label for the UK "Soothe me" then? That's the only one I know about (and have) on blue Stax, was there another one on the lighter blue label also? Also, don't forget another goodie from them "Everybody's got to believe in somebody" - also done by Dee Dee Warwick. https://www.45cat.com/record/584228
