    With J.J. Barnes and the Parliaments flying up the charts, I think the company decided to promote those two releases and the Jackie Beavers 45 got lost in the shuffle.

    I've never seen a copy of "The Night" on a U.S. 45. As far as I know, it was only available on the Chameleon album.

    Going slightly off topic- does anyone own one of these pillow covers ?
  4. The Yank
    This sure did make the rounds- here's another version
  5. The Yank
    Not a 100% sure but this looks like it came from one of the Oldies specials that are frequently shown on PBS on American tv. If it is, it would date from the late 1990's/ early 2000's.

    I think the 45 looks great. Sound quality is good- don't think it came from a master tape- sounds decent.
  7. The Yank
    Indeed I did.

    More Disco than Northern but still a great track !

    This is the unreleased version of "How Can I Ever Find A Way" from the Fifth Estate CD. Someone just made it look like it was a Red Bird promo. It is slightly different from the released version- definitely not the same from 0:09- 0:15 when you compare the 2 versions side by side.

    Alt. version ?

    There was a thread on SS a few years back (2015) - basically the backing band was identified as the D-Men who later became the Fifth Estate. Carol and Gerri were remembered as "a couple of girls from the neighborhood".

    Quite a few of these on e-bay right now... Kent City #032- Maxine Brown- "It's Torture"/ Chuck Jackson- "I'd Be A Millionaire"

    That's you tube for you- even though the label shown is for "Without A Word". the video does play "There's Nothing Else To Say".
  15. The Yank
    Great flip side ("Another Dirty Deal") too !

    I've seen a flyer showing George McCrae appearing in April, 1975.

    Don't feel bad- I'm from an English speaking country and have no idea what the lyrics are about !

    Thanks to everyone who participated in this. Still can't understand why someone would take a perfectly good vocal and do that to it.

    I was told about a remix of Marvin Gaye "If This World Were Mine". I don't think this is Marvin. My questions are- 1) Do you think this sounds like Marvin? 2) Do you know who this really is?

    The first version of this song was by Tom Jones. It was originally written for Sandie Shaw who turned it down.

    Motown mostly used red vinyl for their promo releases. There were some yellow and blue vinyl promos in the 70's. I don't think I've ever seen purple vinyl for a Motown release, have seen it on Okeh though.
  23. The Yank
    I've never heard the record played on the radio or tv. In fact, the only time I heard it played out was at one of Soul Trip U.S.A. events. It's probably only known to Motown collectors and among record collectors.
  24. The Yank
    I plan on buying the record. I'm not a Hipster don't have a big trendy beard , flat as pancake "kung fu" shoes or skinny denim jeans. There are people who live in the U.S. who collect and love Soul music. Think we all need to calm down !
  25. The Yank
    It was recorded in L.A. and released by a company based in Detroit. When they said "Stay in Detroit" , I'm guessing they mean as opposed to the other copies which now reside in Europe.
