    The liner notes have the session taking place in October,1964 which sounds about right. Billy Davis is listed as the producer.

    There are no writer credits given on the CD, maybe Ady will enlighten us? I'm in the "I Like It Just The Way It Is" club.

    According to the liner notes on the "Who's Blue" CD, "Can't Shake It" was recorded at the same session as "Mellow Fellow" and "Bobby Is His Name".

    I can hear the "Sweatin" " mp3 but none of the other audio works for me.

    It did come out as a 7" single in the U.S. on Motown #1459. One side is the album version, the other side the new version.

    Is this already out in the U.K. ? Release date for the CD in the U.S. is October 21st.

    Here's prices on the rest of the 45's- 1) Eddie Bo- excellent condition issue sold for 340 USD in January, 2014 2) Carl Lester- strong vg issue sold for 127 USD in January, 2014. A mint minus dj went for $163 USD in August, 2014 3) Rev. George Morton- mint minus issue sold for $27 USD in August. Hope this helped - thes were the latest sales I could find.

    I'm in the U.S. and can't get on e-bay either .

    Just out of curiosity- why is the title mispelled on the "Grin And Bare It" 45?? At first I thought the studio information also had the spelling error- when I looked at the work sheet- the title is "Grin And Bear It" which is the correct spelling.

    "There He Is" was released first as the B side to "That's How Heartaches Are Made" (Sue #783) and then again on Sue # 137 with "No Time For Pity".

    If anyone wants a copy on vinyl, it is available on the "D.J. Snowboy Presents The Good Foot " album from Ace/ Kent.

    Isn't there some connection between Magic City and the Burt label?
  13. The Yank
    If you're referring to "It Takes Two" by Kim and Marvin, there was a U.S. release on Tamla # 54141.

    If you can find the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell "The Complete Duets" CD set from 2001, there are a few unreleased/ alternate takes on the double CD .

    Mine arrived today. A few of the discs don't lay perfectly flat but all of them play through and sound fine so I'm happy with my set.
  16. The Yank
    From what i remember there might have been a few- I think one was called Right On! You can also try Jet for articles and of course Billboard, Record World, Cashbox if you can find them .
  17. The Yank
    That CD you have pictured has single version and the unreleased version of the song as a duet with Jimmy Radcliffe.
  18. The Yank
    This is quite a find ! Out of curiosity, why was the London issue withdrawn and how did "Open The Door ..." end up on Stateside ?
  19. The Yank
    Even on e-bay USA, there's so much junk that keep getting relisted over and over again. After awhile you don't want to even look because its the same 45's you saw last year ! In less than a week, over 10,000 Soul 45's have been listed because e-bay is having another free listing special. And wading through Country and Pop 45's that have no reason to be in the Soul section gets boring quick. I think e-bay has just gotten too big!

    I was in a Starbucks's last week and heard "Helpless" by Kim Weston and then "Lonely For You Baby" by Sam Dees. "Helpless" isn't that strange but the Sam Dees really threw me!

    Mel was the vocalist but the record was written, produced and arranged by Don and Ken Marrier. The biggest difference between the Mel Hayes and the BMO release is the Mel Hayes instrumental is 4:11 and the Boogie Man Orch. instrumental clocks in at 3:19. (see post #23) Also , on the BMO release the instrumental is the A side while on the Mel Hayes release the vocal is the A side.
  22. The Yank
    Here's a copy of the Mel Hayes version. I've only seen these as promos. And yes there are quite a few copies of the 45 in the States.

    I don't think this has been mentioned before- thanks for posting the link !
  24. The Yank
    Thanks for posting this Allison- I just donated and had no problems.

    This is a big shock. Wasn't a close friend of Bob but whenever I had any questions about anything he was more than happy to share his vast knowledge. Very sad to hear this . R.I.P. Bob !!
