See What You Think Of This Female Version Of Shop Around

Posted

This is an answer record to The Miracles - Shop Around, the only one I;d heard before was debbie Dean's "Don't let him shop around", this one is called Doncha Shop Around and it has an absolutely brilliant sax break in the middle, though I would have thought Motown would have sued them for copyright. Anyway, usual question - anyone know this?

Apparently it was withdrawn, to save a Motown lawsuit.

Richard Barrett production, from memory.

"Clowney" = Dave Baby Cortez. Clowney is DBC's real surname...

Just managed to pick it up for $5 on evilbay thumbsup.gif

Good result.

I've sold two of these on eBay in the past 10 years and always got $50+ for it.

Withdrawn 45, due to legal action by Berry Gordy, and of interest to US Motown completists!
