    There's another variation on Despenza with the release # as 470 versus 12266 -

    While this is definitely "Ain't No Big Thing", the lyrics are different. In the Radiants version, the lead singer has a feeling he's losing his girl, in this version, the lead has already found someone new -

    Here's another one for the list -

    I don't think this one has been mentioned yet -

    Just to clear up a few minor details- 1) Charles Johnson did not produce "Starting All Over Again" for Mel and Tim. 2) "Backfield In Motion" was released 3 years before "Starting All Over Again"

    I think "Anything..." was released. The 1st article is from June, 1977, the second one shows WAMM in Flint, Michigan did give it some airplay in September, 1977. Both articles have a slightly different name for the singer.

    Bootsy's given name is William Collins so i can see the reason for the mixup on you tube. I think someone decided they had to be the same person.

    I had to mail a few letters and asked about this at the Post Office. I was told there was a list of countries that are not accepting mail from the U.S. The clerk asked me what country I wanted to know about - I said England and she told me the U.K. was not on the list. So.. I don't know if your seller is confused or if the state he's in is a Corona virus hot spot and they aren't allowed to ship overseas. She did warn me that if I shipped overseas, there would be big delays.

    I think it's more than just Michigan. I got an e-mail from Dusty Groove in Chicago- their Chicago store is closed but they are open for online business. The idea in the U.S. is that the President has left it up to each state's governors to decide how to deal with the Corona Virus In some states its business as usual and in others it's "shelter in place" aka stay home and only essential businesses are open.

    Definitely worth a mention -

    This article from Record World (May 14, 1966) does show that at the time of the record's release, there were copies made with Larry Allen as the artist. They did get the labels reversed in the article though (Larry Allen on Jerree etc.)

    No- according to the liner notes of "Jack Ashford- Just Productions" (Kent), Lorraine Chandler remembers the Smith Brothers as Donald, Jesse and John Smith and Eugene Johnson. She also said they changed their name to the 11th Commandment and recorded two singles for her R.J. label in 1981 and 1983.

    Another strange thing about the Magnificent/ Mam/ Miko label is I can't find anything about them in any of the trade papers. Usually when a new company is formed a small article or even a paragraph will appear in Billboard/ Cashbox/ Record World. None of the company releases gets a review or even a mention anywhere. You would think that a setup between MAM and Jack Ashford would be worth even a brief mention. ps- If anyone finds anything - please post it.

    According to discogs, one sold for $51.95 in August 2019. There's no mention of condition though.
  24. The Yank
    According to the liner notes of the "Jack Ashford Just Productions" CD on Kent, the London based MAM label did strike a deal with Jack Ashford to lease product on the MAM/ Magnificent/ Miko labels.
