The Yank

I found this early issue of Goldmine- it was a good overview of the state of '70's U.S. record collecting (Doo Wop and Rockabilly were red hot). I thought this want list was interesting-

Johnny is also known to Doo Wop collectors as being a member of the El Dorados and the Kool Gents.

There are 10 of the sets for sale on discogs -

According to the Can't Forget The Motor City web site, it's only available on the "Emperors Of Soul" CD.

The phrase was used in this mid 60's 45 but I think it around long before that. I believe it means what you think it does. The phrase also was the title of a Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes song-

Very sad to hear about his passing- Lamont wrote and produced some of my favorites songs of the 60's and 70's. This is one of my favorites from his solo work-

The pressing plant used the info from a prior Artistics release on this Jackie Wilson 45-

I remember those days well- getting Goldmine and Discoveries and placing my bid and then waiting a month to find out if I won the 45 auction. There were also dealers who had monthly set sales lists- you would mail in your money order and hope your letter got there before another persons did. Now waiting a week after buying something on line seems to be too long!

I've always like his duets with Phyllis Hyman -

I don't think Trade Martin influenced "black folks" with his 45. No mention of it in Billboard, Cashbox or Record World. It may have got some airplay but there I can't find any evidence of it charting on any U.S. radio stations. A more likely source is Prince La La's 1961 "She Put The Hurt On Me', Little Herman's "I'm Gonna Put The Hurt On You" or Alvin Robinson's "I'm Gonna Put The Hurt On You" .

One is now up for auction on Manship's site. The bidding ends on July 27th.

Original release of "I'm Caught Up" -

I believe you're right- I remember seeing STEREO on the label.

Here's a few Miracle singles with errors- the 1st one has Berry's last name as "Gordt" and the other 2 couldn't get the title right- the correct title is "Everybody's Gotta Pay Some Dues"

Here's a few more-

Someone must have been thinking about James Darren's earlier hit when they did the title for this -

On this release, the label got her last name wrong- \ This should help () -

The singer was born Marie Dionne WarRick but after someone misprinted her name as Warwick, she went with her new name-

Here's a few more. The Seeburg Spotlight Band's title should read "Nowhere To Run" and the Jr. Walker has the title as two words and the group has a new name-

I'll be able to post the results for the July 6th auction (sorry Kenb !) .

My demo is the same as the 4th copy shown- it is a West Coast press and does have a delta # though- 56060.

I won't be able to post the results for June 29th but, may be able to post the July 6th info.
