    That one shows up quite a bit- that was way more than I thought it should have went for. Thanks for the link !
  2. The Yank
    Which King design?-Didn't see that one .
  3. The Yank
    Saw that today- the last one( from the same seller) went for about $130 USD. That is a tough one to find.
  4. The Yank
    If you've got it on Musicor #1275, the flip side is "Sonata". It was reissued on Musicor #1443 with "Be My Love" as the B side.

    You might want to read post #47 which is from the person who started the thread- "Motown copies is what I'm looking for- other companies attempts to emulate/ cash in on Motown".
  6. The Yank
    I'm starting to wonder if maybe this shouldn't be split into 2 threads. I think the original intent was to list records that were influenced by Motown. It's turning into only counting records if Motown/ ex-Motown personnel were involved. Any then should we take into account subtle influences (Brill Building, Chicago/ West Coast) ??
  7. The Yank
    Yes it did- but when it was first released on Ric Tic, I don't think they were making it because they knew a few years later Motown would buy out the label. Another one for the list- "Higher and Higher" Jackie WIlson.

    I'll throw in "S.O.S" Edwin Starr "Selfish One" - Jackie Ross "Try A Little Harder- Fi- Dels "Heartaches Away My Boy" - Christine Cooper- best song Supremes never made! "Open The Door To Your Heart" - Darrel Banks
  9. The Yank
    According to Brown and Koppel's book, those two are legal reissues.

    Never saw the We The People on Verve or stock copies of the High Keys or Youngblood Smith. Not that this means anything.
  11. The Yank
    I would agree that the rarest Verve 45 would either be the High Keys issue or the Youngblood Smith. Someone listed the Charades as one of the rarest- let's take that on off the list since it's on MGM.

    That version was taped on February 28,1964 at "The Battle Of The Stars" at the Greystone Ballroom . It's available on "The Velvelettes- The Motown Anthology" double CD set from 2004.

    Okay here's my definite answer. Pat Powdrill's version of "Breaking Point" is not the same version as Sharon Soul's since there is no such record. Think you've got Sharon Soul mixed up with label mate Deena Johnson.
  14. The Yank
    I thought you had the Sharon Soul and Brad Lundy 45's and would know. I guess that my answer was a maybe .
  15. The Yank
    Pat's "Breaking Point" was written by Connie St. John.
  16. The Yank
    Here's a few more releases by Pat- Reprise #0286- "Luckiest Girl In Town" / "Breakin' Point" Reprise #20,204- "Happy Anniversary"/ "I've Forgot More Than You'll Know"

    I don't think the Magnetics who recorded "Father Time"/ "Please Go Away" were the same group who turned into the Downbeats either. I thought Duke miight have confused the Majestics with the Magnetics when he said "they later changed their name to the Downbeats".
  18. The Yank
    I think "that early Detroit group recorded but without release for Motown" he was referring to was not the Magnetics but the similar sounding Majestics who later changed their name to the Monitors.
  19. The Yank
    Here's one you don't see too often ...
  20. The Yank
    I saw that and wondered what he was thinking - that's not Etta.
  21. The Yank
    Thanks for the link- really enjoyed the Jo Armstead interview.
  22. The Yank
    Can't give you an exact year but 1968/1969 is more like it. The label closed in 1969 and was reactivated for 3 releases in 1972 (750-752).
  23. The Yank
    I wish I did have a spare one. That's not even a 45 sleeve- the seller I got it from told me it was used as a package for women's nylons in the 60's !! Which makes sense- "Cover Girl Exciting Footwear"
  24. The Yank
    This also came out on a 12" but I think it was promo only.
  25. The Yank
    Technically... the sleeve has nothing to do with the 45, but I always thought they looked nice together.
