There's also "(Just A Little) Faith And Understanding by the Magicians. Isn't there a third version by a female vocal group? Sorry for the double post !

There's also "(Just A Litttle) Faith And Understanding" by the Magicians. Isn't there another version by a female vocal group?

There's a story (can't remember which book I read it in) that a distributor bought a large amount of overstock from a label for 5 cents a record. The distributor then took those 5 cent records and returned them to the label for full credit. That's why labels had holes drilled, stamped N /R or put gold paint on the label- to identify the discounted records.

Tammi's version wasn't on a U.S. single or on her "Irresistible" album. It is on the Hip-O CD "Come On And See Me- The Complete Solo Collection" or is available on "A Cellar Full Of Motown- Volume Two". Carolyn's version is on Motown #1070- "My Heart"/ "When Someone's Good To You".

By the time Jackie Wilson released "Am I The Man", Bob Hamilton was sharing songwriting credits with Tom King.

You might want to go a bit higher. Checked popsike and collector's frenzy . Came up with these 2 prices- In 2011, a mint minus promo went for 139USD In 2013, a very good + copy went for 161 USD I don't know what condition your copy is in or the exact rate exchange right now.

Let's not forget Al Kent was also a writer under the name Al Hamilton.

"Call Me" should be the same version on Carrie and Jameco- when the record became popular in New York, the record was leased to Jameco.

The 1st Soul single I bought was Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar" as an almost new release. It was a cut out in a plastic bag-" 39 cents or 3 for $1.00". Don't have the copy but that song is still one of all time favorites.

Thanks for posting- reallly liked the "Back Street" and "... Happening".

I saw that episode of "American Pickers"- the guy said he had over 250,000 records and then one of the pickers decided they didn't want to waste their day when there were other things to look at. Oh..... to have had a chance to look at that collection !!!

Obviously- "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown". Any of the other DVDs from Motown ( in the U.S.) are also worth watching- "The Supremes", "The Four Tops", "The Temptations", "The Miracles " , "Marvin Gaye" and "Motown- The DVD" all have great mostly television performances from the artists. "The T.A.M.I Show" is mostly made up of British Invasion groups but... there's some great live work from Chuck Berry, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, and has the Blossoms backing up the performers.

Tangerine Records was started in 1962 and with ABC it was pretty much hit or miss with the Tangerine logo. I looked at quite a few 45's on e-bay- never did see one with the Tangerine logo on the ABC-Paramount releases, saw some before and after "....Doctor" that had the logo while there were just as many that didn't. Even checked a few of the later ABC in the box logo and some had the TRC on them some didn't.

The ABC release has the release # as #10865 and underneath has AMP 45-TRC-257A and even has a small TRC logo next to the ABC Records logo. On your copy, the printer must have switched the release info around.

Not sure what prices these bring in the U.K. but I know these would all be under 30 pounds- Edwin Starr- "I Have Faith In You"/ "S.O.S" - Ric Tic Ace Spectrum- "Don't Send Nobody Else "- Atlantic Four Tops- "Ask The Lonely"/ "Where Did You Go" Motown Brenda Holloway- "When I'm Gone" Tamla Elgins- "Heaven Must Have Sent You" - V.I.P. Spinners- "I'll Always Love You" Motown J.J. Barnes- "Real Humdinger" Ric Tic Contours- "Just A Little Misunderstanding" Gordy Jo Armstead- "I Feel An Urge Coming On" Giant Parliaments- "Don't Be Sore At Me" Revilot Artistics- "I'm Gonna Miss You" Brunswick Platters- "With This Ring" or "Washed Ashore" Musicor O'Jays- "I Dig Your Act"- Bell Kim Weston- "Helpless"- Gordy

Didn't DCP have another tv show during the mid 60's that was called "Where The Action Is"(?) Maybe Darrell appeared on that show and it got confused with "Bandstand" ???

The original should have a machine stamped H matrix . The boots have a shiny label and no H stamp.

I guess it wasn't obvious I was being 100% completely sarcastic with the Doris Day theory. I should probably clear up a few more things : 1) I don't think Buddy Holly "left-handedly created the Motown Soul Empire for Berry Gordy". 2) I don't think Doris Day "left-handedly created the Motown Soul Empire for Berry Gordy". But.... if someone believes either of the two ideas are correct, that's fine with me. I think everyone has the right to their own opinion. I'll say no more .

It's very easy to make the Doris Day connection. But bear with me- as I don't have the book in front of me. If I get any of the facts wrong- I hope someone corrects me. In his book "To Be Loved", Berry says that one of the earliest songs he ever wrote was intended for Doris Day. I think he mailed it to her and never heard anything about it again. So...isn't possible that after that experience, that Mr. Gordy strove even harder for success, worked on his writing style, and became a better songwriter which eventually made him start Motown? To me- there's just as strong of a connection here as with Buddy Holly.

First things first, when I used your post, I meant no offense towards you. I didn't want to put "referring back to post #3,....." So, I just reposted it since everything was there. If I offended you, I apologize. I still think that the connection is weak at best. You could also make a strong argument that Doris Day left handedly created the Motown sound.

That may be true but.... if Berry Gordy had already written hits for Jackie Wilson, why would one song written "in the Buddy Holly style" suddenly encourage Berry Gordy to "move onto greater things musically" ?? I think the author is taking a few liberties with the facts?

One copy was just posted in the sales section in SS today.

Here's a few more for your consideration- Mary Wells- "You Lost The Sweetest Boy" Four Tops- "Where Did You Go" *** *** I know it's a B side but still very well known.

Pm'ed you .

Question for you- I was thinking of getting the Philly Int'l set. When I clicked on the link , I went to a shipping info page which listed all European countries and it said- not available in other countries. Then I clicked on the shipping info button and it went to another page that said shipping is avaliable in the U.S.. I'm confused .........
