    I was just going to ask if you weren't mixing it up with Midsong #11082.

    Just played the 45- just one singer on "The Hurt's Still Here", the flip "Mark My Word" does have a group on it though.
  3. The Yank
    Does anybody know anything about the Girls?? There's only one singer on "The Hurt's Still Here" and I think on the flipside too. The voice seems very familiar- almost like Rhetta Hughes or Jo Armstead. So... who 's doing the vocal ?

    Just did a quick search and found Jimmy did pass away in Las Vegas at the age of 64. The article says cause of death is still unknown.

    The original version of "Night Owl" doesn't go that far back- Tony Allen's version on Specialty is from the mid 50's.

    There's a seller on e-bay that lists almost everything as "Northern Soul" - this week he's got these classics listed as Northern. Captain Beefheart, Steely Dan, Beach Boys,Chet Atkins, Jethro Tull, Jim Croce, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Tony Bennett, Black Oak Arkansas, Yes and my favorite- "Rock Around The Clock" by Bill Haley and the Comets !!

    Jerry Ragavoy redid "I Can't Wait..." with Dionne Warwick on her "Then Came You" album in 1974.
  8. The Yank
    Do you have a release date for the CD yet ?
  9. The Yank
    Many thanks to everyone who helped with a price !

    So if a copy showed up in vg/vg+ condition. what do you think it would go for? Checked the usual supects (Popsike, Collector's Frenzy, Mr. M's) and can't find any record of a sale. I know what it guides for but in the real world what do you think it would bring ? ps- I don't have one !
  11. The Yank
    Excellent choice !!
  12. The Yank
    Did Patti make "Pink Cadillac"? Besides the Boss, I always associate it with Natalie Cole's version. Good choices with the Bluebelles songs !!

    The cover of the EP is the same as the "Watchout" album. There are 3 songs per side. Side One has "I'm Ready For Love", "One Way Out" and "Jimmy Mack". Side Two includes "I'll Follow You", "No More Tearstained Makeup" and "Tell Me I'll Never Be Alone".

    "Tell Me It's Just A Rumour Baby" was released in the U.K. as Tamla Motown TMG #877 in late 1973 .
  15. The Yank
    "Girl You Need A Change Of Mind" was released in the U.S. On Tamla #54230 and in the UK on Tamla Motown # 916.
  16. The Yank
    Here's a few more for the list - Marvin & Tammi - "This Poor Heart Of Mine" from "Easy"- revamped version of The Marvelettes' "Only Your Love Can Save Me" 4 Tops - "Can't Seem To Get You Out Of My Mind" from "Yesterday's Dreams" Miracles- "It's A Good Feeling" ("Make It Happen") Supremes "Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music" ("New Ways But Love Stays")

    There's also an unreleased version of "The Bells" by Bobby Taylor over the rhythm track of "Baby I'm For Real" that made me feel like I was in a parallel universe the first time I heard it.
  18. The Yank
    This seller has been listing the 45 on and off for at least a year. I guess no one has taken advantage of the bargain price.
  19. The Yank
    The Supremes' Far East tour took place in the Fall of 1966. They appeared in Tokyo, Okinawa, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Manila and also stopped at several U.S. Naval and Air Force bases.
  20. The Yank
    I've read that the Creation version is the same song remixed by Bobby Martin for the U.K.
  21. The Yank
    Very sad news- also co-wrote many classic tracks- "Ain't That Peculiar", "Going To A Go Go", "Tracks of My Tears" off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many more.
  22. The Yank
    I've had 4-5 copies and all of them sounded fine.
  23. The Yank
    If it was released on vinyl... it wasn't legally. I agree with you, the song works much better as a Tammi solo record.
  24. The Yank
    The most "Northern" Drifters record is "You've Got To Pay Your Dues"
  25. The Yank
    According to Terry Wilson's book "Tamla Motown", Dave Godin felt that since he already had the TMAS and the Stateside releases carried the "A Tamla - Motown Production", he felt that Motown should use that name for all U.K. releases. Berry Gordy proposed the idea to EMI who okayed the new label.
