  1. The Yank's post in Sporting Heroes in song was marked as the answer   
  2. The Yank's post in Tony Middleton & Polydor ? was marked as the answer   
    I'm guessing that "Paris Blues" was originally recorded for Polydor International. The Polydor ad (Cashbox - July 2, 1966) states that Claus recorded his 1st singles for Polydor in the U.S.
        In the 2nd article, (Cashbox June 11, 1966) it appears that Helios Music ( which published "Paris Blues) was looking to lease their masters to "a host of key labels".
       So once again, I'm guessing Polydor had international rights to Claus Ogerman productions and they were free to lease them to any company in the U.S. 


  3. The Yank's post in Doris Troy 'I'll Do Anything' + flips UK versus USA was marked as the answer   
    "Heartaches" was recorded in London and was written by Doris and Englishman Tommy Sanderson. 
    "But I Love Him"  is said to have been recorded in 1963 for Atlantic and was unreleased. Since "Heartaches" had already been issued in the U.K. on Atlantic, Cameo-Parkway U.K. decided to use "But I Love Him " as the flip side.
    All of this information is from the liner notes to the Ace/Kent CD "I'll Do Anything- The Doris Troy 
    Anthology 1960 -1966".

  5. The Yank's post in Sasa Di was marked as the answer   
    I believe this is the same person - 


  6. The Yank's post in Ain't no sun since you've been gone - Cover Up ? was marked as the answer   
    There was a version of "Ain't No Sun..." by a group called the Originals (not the Motown group) -
     

  7. The Yank's post in The Orlons - Spinnin' Top was marked as the answer   
    Not 100% sure but it appears from these 2 surveys that when the 45 was first released (May'66) that "Anyone..." was the A side (#32 on the WROV survey). A few months later, some stations jumped on the B side (#25 on the WDAS survey) and "Spinning Top" became the A side -  


  8. The Yank's post in Temptations ? was marked as the answer   
    "All I Need Is You To Love Me" sounds to me like its Paul Williams of the Temptations. 
  9. The Yank's post in Betty Everett - No place to hide was marked as the answer   
    I agree- I think the album was the 1st release. I've never heard of the label (Sherry Hill) and have never seen a U.S. 45 where they put the state 1st before the city- Illinois, Chicago or Michigan, Detroit. 
     
  10. The Yank's post in R&B Help Please: Alladin Label Variations was marked as the answer   
    Aladdin switched from the blue to maroon labels in 1954 around the time of #3260. But at times they ran out of maroon  and used whatever labels were available especially in the case of a big hit (Shirley and Lee's "Let The Good Times Roll" and Thurston Harris's "Little Bitty Pretty One" among others).
                I know I've seen more "Let The Good Times Roll" on the blue label than on the maroon. With Thurston Harris, I've seen maroon, purple and black. The purple was issued when it was a hit but the black label would have been a repress.

  11. The Yank's post in Brothers Guiding Light - Please show yourselves was marked as the answer   
    I believe  Brother's Guiding Light is the Dreamlovers with a new name.
      So - group members should be Don Hogan, Tommy Ricks, Cleveland Hammock and Cliff and James Dunn.
  12. The Yank's post in Shrine possibly unreleased? was marked as the answer   
    Here's  Shrine F - 
     
  13. The Yank's post in Epsilons was marked as the answer   
    Yes- there were 2 Epsilons.
         The D.C. group who recorded for Shrine/ Hem were made up of James Duval, Ronald Williams, Greg Thomas and Stan Williams.
          Otis Redding saw the Philly group and brought them to the attention of Stax. This group's members were McFadden and Whitehead, Ron Lowry and Allen Beatty. Later with the addition of future Blue Note Lloyd Parks, and James Knight, the group became known as Talk Of The Town.
         Patti Labelle's first group was the Epsilons. She later  left and formed  the Bluebelles. 
     
     
     
  14. The Yank's post in Single Sided Little Ben and the Cheers .... Real ? Penny was marked as the answer   
    According to discogs, a single sided promo does exist for Penny #109- "I'm Not Ready To Settle Down" by the Cheers. They don't show the flip side label or mention it but, Motown used the same language on their single sided promos so it could be legit. 
  15. The Yank's post in Dorothy Pierce - H D H was marked as the answer   
    According to the book "Come And Get These Memories", Brian's wife Sharon did have a mother named Dorothy Pierce.   But... I can't confirm that name was used by H/D/H to work outside of Motown. 
  16. The Yank's post in DYNAMICS - LOVE SICK was marked as the answer   
    According to the liner notes on this CD, the track was previously  unreleased. The song was recorded on July 22. 1966 and features Ray Monette on guitar.

  17. The Yank's post in What's this song? was marked as the answer   
    The song is "For The Love Of Mike" by Patrice Holloway.
     It was recorded in February, 1965 and was unreleased. It's available on "This Is Northern Soul Volume 2"
    (Debutante) or "Love And Desire- The Patrice Holloway Anthology" (Ace / Kent). I don't  think it was 
    released legitimately on vinyl. 
  18. The Yank's post in Precisions - If This Is Love - Booted On Drew Label? was marked as the answer   
    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. 
  19. The Yank's post in This Love Joy Tones was marked as the answer   
    Not sure if this is 100% correct but- here goes. It was originally released on Coed #600 in 1965. The label went out of business that same year.
    Later released (1969?) as the Love Potion on TCB #1601 and when it started selling again got picked up by Kapp and released as Kapp #979.
