I'm primarily looking for trades (rare Motown 45s), but would consider cash offers as well on the following: The Miracles - Bad Girl / Love Your Baby (Motown G1) VG++ -very difficult to find an original copy this clean-

D-Town 36 (only on diagonal design label) Thelma Record Co. 59 (only on vinyl pressings)

'95' is Archer's client code at Nashville Matrix, who did the metalwork for the stampers. The record was pressed at Archer on East Davison.

Cappy passed away in May of 2022. I don't think he had a close connection to Motown, or at least it wasn't a large part of his personal collection. I believe he focused on Fortune and other smaller Detroit labels. They filmed scenes from the movie Zebrahead in his store. The exterior shots are of a random building downtown, but the interior shots were filmed at his store on 8 Mile.

"The Groove" by Don Davis & The Groovers on Northern is a different recording/session than the version on Thelma, much more lo-fi and raw, but it is the same song. The B-sides on both 45s "Let's Do It" and "Leap Frog" are entirely different songs. I have a recording that I made of "Let's Do It" that I can send you - it's the better side anyway.

From popsike (sold in 2014 for $83):

I have both and can confirm that the Zodiac and Boo recordings of "Come On Back" are the same. I'll dig out the Freddy & Bobby 45 this weekend to see if "Mary's House" has a spoken intro.

Looking for a clean copy of: Mary Wells - You Lost The Sweetest Boy on a US Motown promo.

I personally don't hear any similarities between a young Michael and whoever the lead is on "Heaven Is In Your Arms". Another thing worth noting, the backing vocalists on "Heaven Is In Your Arms" are female - there are several back-and-forth verses and sighing/swooning noises that give this away in case you can't hear it in their voices: Lead: "Girl, without your love I would surely die" Backing group: "Boy, I'm gonna keep you by my side" Lead: "Believe me girl, this is no lie"

Apex Record Pressing in Chicago was the plant that did all of these records, and there are plenty of examples of them pressing records multiple times with different fonts, typos, credit positioning changes, etc. - The Creations on Zodiac is a good example; there's even a rare pressing with the label name printed as 'Zodica'. Is the timeline above that suggests that the Aspirations/Admirations records were pressed 6-ish months apart just a guess or information coming from a label owner or group member? I would've thought they were all pressed within a short amount of time of one another.

Anyone with a copy that's willing to ship it to the US? Thanks!

Harry Gates sang lead on that record. I definitely hear the similarities between his voice on "Toy Soldier" and the Equadors record.
