    Came across this on you tube- Nice !! Actually not a new release- just reissued - oops !!
  2. The Yank
    I've got two (U.S.) copies of "If You Can't..." and both play with no problems. Not sure why they changed the B sides.
  3. The Yank
    I guess they pushed both sides of the 45 ("Tonight Is Just Another Night"/ "Unknown Love") -

    Does anyone know if the Ron Bollons mentioned in the 2 pics are the same person? The distributors were based on Guilford Street which is also one of the labels mentioned-
  5. The Yank
    Not 100% sure but... I've heard that the Hollywood Flames, The Tangiers (Decca), Jets (Aladdin), ? Marks (Swing Time) , Turks (Cash) and the Satellites (Class) are basically all the same group ! I think there were a few more aliases also.

    According to Ollie McLaughlin's liner notes to "Detroit Gold Vol. 2", he describes the Gambrells as "a Detroit high school group" that he signed after they did the back up vocals to Deon Jackson's "Love Makes The World Go Round" in one take. No photos or group member names were in the notes.

    Hope this video helps- the group ( TNJs) is clearly identified -
  8. The Yank
    If you read the comments from the person who posted the video, it says it includes photos of the first group and the last group before they disbanded.
  9. The Yank
    According to Dave Moore's book "The Philly Sound", the TNJs were - Al Stroman, Joe Anderson, Barry Higginbotham, James Gost and Elijah Jones.

    Also released on Record Shack in 2016 with "You Cant Take It" on the flip side -
  11. The Yank
    I think this is a different Plato (?)
  12. The Yank
    Ad for her first single (as Linda Lane) -
  13. The Yank
    I appears that the writer and producer were based out of Maryland -
  14. The Yank
    I was just Including the "Northern" tracks. So I guess there were 6 great releases that week !
  15. The Yank
    This is a different Janice to the one on Fantasy who is Janice Barnett Sadler.
  16. The Yank
    Three records that do absolutely nothing for me are - 1) the previously mentioned Cajun Hart 2) Judy Street- "What" 3) Dobie Gray- "Out On The Floor" I don't hate them, don't think they are bad records, I just don't get anything out of them.

    I believe it's also what week you decided to pick from the 60's- Here's 4 quality "Northern" releases from the week of 3/26/66 - The Reflections, Tammy Wayne, Lorraine Chandler and Tony Hestor -

    I can't get the first line but the second one sounds to me like "Can't you see baby, I'm trying to save this love of ours..."
  19. The Yank
    You are correct about the instrumental version which is on the B side of the 45 and the 12". I didn't see the instrumental on you tube so just posted the vocal version.
  20. The Yank
    This one .....

  22. The Yank
    A fine track from his "Uptight" album with a hint of "Dancing In The Street" -
  23. The Yank
    I can't find a pic of the issue copy of "Hang On" but, here's the boot copy compared to a regular Tower release -
  24. The Yank
    I think you're right Chalky because David Ruffins's first album is also blocked -
  25. The Yank
    Whatever the problem is, it happened later. "Message To Maria" hit the Billboard Top 100 and the R & B charts during October, 1968.
