The easiest way is to go for the issue - that wasn't booted

My copy is also red - not sure if they are just pressed at different plants or what, but I've had mine since the late 70's and seen both variants over the years. Not sure about a WDJ copy though...

Here's a few scans to add to this little lot:

There's a copy at our house also Dave! But I have to agree, it's not one you come across, I can't remember seeing another and I got mine sometime during the mid - late 70's, more out of curiosity than anything else as I didn't know it.

France: Germany: Brazil: Mexico: South Africa: Holland: Canada: Argentina:

Brazil: Yugoslavia: Holland: Mexico: Argentina:

I suppose it's about time I added a few to this - although I have put quite a few up before on other threads. Anyone know how to link your own pictures that's already on the site to this thread? The only way I've managed to do it before was to find the original post and link the picture from there - but that's got to be the hard way, there must be an easier way other than uploading them again? Most of them are my own copies, but one or two are just scans 'lifted' from elsewhere: A few from New Zealand: Italy: Chile: France: Jamaica: Canada: Holland: Spain: More later on...

Herb Reed and Sweet River - Hung up over you - PVK Sweet Sensation - Hung up over you - Pye (same song as Herb Reed, but not as good)

I think Maxine Brown is OK - In the USA I seem to think there were only promos of the A side - "Picked up, packed up and put away" There was a UK LP with "Bella Mia" on, but it was a compilation and I don't think it was released over there. Cado Belle - on the other hand DID get a US 45 release, it also states from an LP, so definately can't count

Sorry, Jackie Wilson was on the US LP, so can't count But what about Thelma Houston's "Nothing left to give" - not on the US Mowest LP but was on the UK and German releases? Also: Jimmy James & the Vagabonds - "Missing you" up to now only on the 4 track EP on UK Mojem Jimmy James & the Vagabonds - "Want you so much" - UK Pye Jimmy James & the Vagabonds - "A man like me" - UK Stateside More later...

OK Benji, that's fair enough - you better also leave Billy Cole out also due to the Jamaican release. Wasn't Salena Jones released in 1970? (I'd have to check to be certain) Maurice McCormick & Maggi - The Reeaall Deeaall I have this on a UK label, Charly I think - wasn't there also a German release of this?

Yes, there's probably more yet, but I also suspect some of the things such as released on UK Contempo & Pye might not be what Benji means - maybe more like less well known artists recorded in Europe as opposed to the UK? ...I think maybe not meaning Major Lance, JJ Barnes, Jimmy James etc. - if you get my drift? It can get a bit difficult to tell one from another I reckon. Or are these also OK to mention Benji?

I guess you can also add: Billy Cole - "Extra careful" on UK Power Exchange & Jamaican Recreational and Educational Enterprises Chants - "I've been trying" on UK Chipping Norton Clem Curtis - "Point of no return" - UK Pye Clem Curtis - "Sweet Happiness" - UK Riverdale Joe Bourne - "You are magnificent" - K-Tel Holland Main Ingredient - "Everything man" - UK & Jamaican Power Exchange and also French Eurodisc Major Lance - "Don't you know I love you" - UK Contempo Marcia Hines - "You gotta let go" - Italian Dig It and Australian Wizard Salena Jones - "Am I the same girl" - UK & Dutch CBS Viola Wills - "Day in the life of a woman" - UK Goodear (2 versions) Dwight Thompson was also on German Red Point as well as Poker which was released in Holland The Pioneers on Ice wasn't a US release Wayne, just another UK issue after the Mercury 45 ...Phew!

Just be aware there's two different 7" releases of this, one is a remix and not the 'preferred' LP version. You really need to have the 'juke box' copy which is an edited version of the the LP mix. I'm not certain if this was on general release though...? I can't see this one listed on Gemm just now. Maybe why the higher price was mentioned?

Sounds like it could be this one by Hodges, James, Smith & Crawford - "I'm in love" on Mpingo records: https://youtu.be/hY6VMgC0_KY

Thanks Zane Almost forgot to reply! All we need now is Steve's playlist - if he did one that is

As far as I'm aware, it's CD only...?

Hmm, the download link's not quite working. It's like Groundhog day - it just keeps redirecting back to the download screen after the 15 second wait! Any ideas?

It would be nice if you could post the link on here also Steve, not everyone can see it on EMS - only members can see the Solar Radio section. Zane did start posting them on here, but just lately he's not posted any. Otherwise, Steve Plumb does post some of them on his site... eventually! I did catch the last 45mins of the show, so it would be nice to hear the bit I missed

What makes you think that then?

It's been already posted on here Chalky - Around March 25th 2010, there were 6 PDF files, one for each page. John Reed posted them, but it shouldn't be hard to find. If for some reason they've 'gone' - I'll upload them . Just looked and still there, post 223

Someone once told me there were two releases for this LP in the Uk? Can anyone confirm this and maybe explain the differences?

Just noticed the typo with the spelling of Detroit in the groups name - and I've got that EP but never noticed it before! I think you're right Blake about this being the only 7" format for this - I'm surprised Mr Plumb never mentioned it before.

I first heard it when Richard Searling played it on his (then) radio show in Sheffield - Radio Hallam. This would have been around 1983 / 1984 making it a recent release at the time. But I agree it would have been the Parkers period when it became more well known via Dean

Well I've found my copies out to find they're all now listed above! Looks like the only ones I'm missing are the Ultimate Truth # 275 & the last (?) one by 8 Miles High # 350. All I can add to this at present is that the labels on numbers 250 and 300 I have are blue and numbers 225 and 325 are red. Plus the label was connected with Paul Kyser, but no doubt our man in New Jersey, Greg Tormo may know more about this? So here's the up to date listing as it stands: J CITY JC.225 - LITTLE JIMMY BRISCOE & THE BEAVERS - TOGETHER TOGETHER / SAME INSTR. J CITY JC.250 - JIMMY CHANDLER - I CAN'T TURN YOU LOOSE - JIM JAM J CITY JC.275 - ULTIMATE TRUTH - TAKE A LITTLE TIME / HOOKED ON LOVE J CITY JC.300 - ULTIMATE TRUTH - I`VE GOT THAT LOVIN` FEELIN' / JIM--JAM J CITY JC.325 - DEVOTIONS - SO GLAD YOU`RE HOME / THE DAWNING OF LOVE. J CITY JC.350 - 8 MILES HIGH - 8 MILES HIGH / ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL
