Kris Holmes Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 How many have the same label style as that Precisions 45? I've not seen that before. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) How many have the same label style as that Precisions 45? I've not seen that before. Quite a few of the early ones have that design in various different colours Dee Edwards #1024 #1031, Armand Kay #1028, Don Heart #1030, Cody Black #1032 Cheers Richard Edited October 9, 2011 by Premium Stuff Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) This one is interesting as it shares the same number as the Hesitations release Decent early sounding double-sider Pretty sure I have seen this as a DJ Copy also - anyone confirm please? Cheers Richard Edited October 12, 2011 by Premium Stuff Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Very hard to locate this one Quite like the track too - although not the strongest on the label Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Great Fab Peps release on a WDJ Of course there are two different mixes of this - the 219 mix the best. The other is much rarer - contrary to what it says in Manship's guide. Cheers Richard Edited October 12, 2011 by Premium Stuff Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Here's an issue with the 689 mix As the Peps rather than the Fabulous Peps - plus the other side song title is mis-spelt Cheers Richard Edited October 9, 2011 by Premium Stuff Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Cheers Richard Agreed,although I prefer the 689 mix, took me ages to get hold of it after having and sold the 219 one(several times). Never seen a demo of that (689) anyone?

Agree My lover Come Back is the better side of the Precisions double sider. Also got the hard to find Cody Black - These Chains Of Love (1032) on a orange label similar to Lee Rogers (1029) Regards Paul Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Old 100 Club screamer, although fair to say it may not be a 100% Detroit production? Hi Dave Yes, isn't that a West Coast project bought in and released on the label? Also, wasn't Roosvelt Grier a pro football or baseball player - or am I getting confused with someone else? Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Here's a decent double-sider by Jackie & Tonetts - who also recorded on Wheel City which was part of the same group of labels. Cheers Richard Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Premium Stuff Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Dimensions - Little Lotta Lou/He's A Lover - D-Town 1038 For some reason many D-Town discographies list 'Little Lotta Lou' as a track entitled 'The Dimensions'. Actually, that was just how it was originally listed in Rod Dearlove's - A Collector's Guide to Detroit and later in Chris Moores' - Soul Express Detroit special from the mid 1980s. Does this exist on issue? Here are both sides. Cheers Richard Edited November 12, 2011 by Premium Stuff Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) ...I particularly like Don Heart's 'Don't Give In' ...on a light blue label. Found this a few months back...never seen a WD of this one before...stockers are light blue...so does that mean that there are demos for all the other early numbers on this design...a Precisions WD would be nice!
