    This is only the tip of the iceberg- the 60's were full of Dance crazes. Here's a few more- the Roach, Hitch Hike, Frug, Dip, Continental, Sloop Dance, Cross Fire, Gorilla, Philly Freeze. Cannibal and the Headhunters and Wilson Pickett were exaggerating when they sung "Land Of A Thousand Dances" but I'm sure there are 100's more 60's Dances.

    "Controlled By Your Love"/ "Chills And Thrills" was a legitimate release for Helene. But... the record was bootlegged. Originals should be vinyl and have a "DUKOFF" (?) matrix.

    Bang which was started in March of 1965 was distributed by Atlantic up until mid 1966. The company's name came from the owners initials B(Bert Berns), A (Ahmet Ertegun) N (Nesuhi Ertegun) G ( Gerald aka Jerry Wexler) . Bert started Shout after he left Atlantic. Bang/ Shout lasted until about 1970. Both companies were revived in '72 or '73. Sometime after the success of Brick's "Dazz", the companies were distributed by Columbia. I have never seen a company sleeve for the 60's Bang and Shout labels.

    "Good Bye Cruel Love" was issued promotionally on Motown on some presses as "Good-By Cruel WORLD". I've never seen an issue that way. The Tamla version with globes is a Canadian release.

    I'm still not sure Austin Taylor is Ted Taylor. In Joel Selvin's book "Here Comes The Night", there is no mention of Ted Taylor being Austin Taylor. In the liner notes to the Ace CD, "The Bert Berns Story- Twist and Shout Vol. 1", Mick Patrick and Rob Hughes wrote that Austin Taylor is NOT Ted Taylor.

    I think its worth about $5-$10 - not sure about the Ted Taylor connection though. There is a Austin Taylor 45 on Sprout Artist that brings a bit more .

    I would agree- can't see there being any link to any of the U.S. Festival labels.

    The Flying Witch in the logo appears to have been "borrowed" from the one they used in the opening credits of the U.S. TV show "Bewitched" in the early years of the program.

    There was another thread on this in February- see "Drill Holes" in the look at your box section.

    I think the 3 Bossmen are related to the Bossmen shown on the label in the pic . The 45 was autographed by 3 group members (Chucho(aka Jesse) Perales, Vince Nares and Pete Perez). Jesse was also a member of the 50's group Mando and the Chili Peppers who recorded for Golden Crest.

    I just went on the web site a few minutes ago and the site is up and running again !!!!

    Sound files for the CD are now posted on the Ace/Kent web site. Some great tunes are on the CD !

    The group member's name is Gary Gant. That's the same Gant who co-wrote Kenny Wells' "Isn't It Just A Shame" on New Voice.

    According to the liner notes of "The Northern Soul Of Dore" , Smokey and the Fabulous Blades were the Dore house band. Lew Bedell also used The Scooters and the Cruisers as names for the group.
  15. The Yank
    I doubt it - according to the label credits- Pattie Brooks wrote the song.
  16. The Yank
    I've read that Los Bravos had a big impact on Simon. He even had Patti Brooks record it (along with "Popcorn" and "Na Na Hey Kiss Him Goodbye") as part of the "Pop Collage Medley" on her first album.

    "Don't Look Back" was issued as the B side to "My Baby" on Gordy #7047.
  18. The Yank
    The last letter of the matrix info - A, B, C ....J has something to do with the lacquer used for the side. There's a whole topic about this in the Look At Your Box section entitled "ZTSC on Ric Tic, Golden World" which I believe is on page 10.

    Didn't Laurie distribute Drew ?
  20. The Yank
    There's no "1 C" on my copy- did notice a very faint scratched in "R' though.
  21. The Yank
    I don't know why anyone would boot this- plenty of copies around. Original copies are styrene and have ZTSC126413-1A on the "If This..." side and ZTSC126414-1A on the "You'll Soon Be Gone"side. Matrix info is stamped and not scratched in.
  22. The Yank
    My copy is also the same as yours.
  23. The Yank
    As far as I know... this was never booted. There was a "re-issue" on After Dark with the Seven Souls (?) on the flip side. What label do you have it on- Atco or Vent ?
  24. The Yank
    Both sides on you tube.
  25. The Yank
    Motown released "Come See About Me" five weeks after "Baby Love" was in the stores. Both still made it to the top of the charts!
