The Yank

I never said it was a bootleg, I just pointed out it looked like the Rockaway pressing except the credits were reversed. The blue stars ( instead of black) were another difference.

If you go on discogs, it looks close to the Rockaway pressing. What's strange is the stars at the top and bottom of the label look like someone added them in blue ink versus black on the picture below. And the credits on the left side are now the the right side.

Just heard on the news Roy Ayers passed away on March 4th.

In her book "Dreamgirl", Mary writes about going to Chicago with James Jamerson, Joe Hunter, Hank Cosby and the Andantes for session work. She's mentions working with Jerry Butler on "A Teenie Weenie Bit Of Your Love' (aka "Just A Little Bit") and John Lee Hooker on "Boom Boom". The problem with the last one is that there are no backup singers. Is this the song she was thinking of ??

Are you sure this is the same group ??

The info I posted about Jean being Johnny's daughter came from the Kent CD "Northern Soul's Classiest Rarities Volume 5". But with Johnny being born in 1937, that doesn't make much sense timewise. So did Johnny's wife put the song in her daughter's name, was his wife's middle name Jean or did his wife have a child from a previous marriage named Jean? Anyone want to go down the rabbit hole ?

Just wanted to make a minor correction- Barbara was Johnnie's first wife, Jean was his daughter.

I've been following this thread- the name doesn't ring a bell with me though. If I do find anything out, I'll post it.

I didn't find any airplay info for "Wrapped.." but I did find one station who had the B side as a pick hit. I guess whoever typed the survey was so used to seeing the Poets on Sue they didn't notice it was on J-2 -

Thanks for posting. Really looking forward to listening.

Discogs calls it an "unofficial release' from 2006.

From Billboard -November 12, 1966-

It's the other way around with the Hesitations in late '66 ( as the B side to "Soul Superman") and the Cavaliers in early '67 with the two on these surveys at #47 and #49

The earliest mention I can find of the 45 is the review from the June 3, 1967 issue of Cashbox. Hope this helps with your timeline-

That copy was from popsike- I believe from a sale in 2017.
