Guest selectasoul Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Over the years I've acquired a number of US 45's which I have never seen before or since buying them. I was just wondering if anyone else had copies of the following. The following are all Detroit:- J.J. BARNES - MY BABY - INVASION - 1001 Listed in lots of discographies, so I diidn't think it was that rare until Martin Koppell told me he had never seen a copy. Also checked with Dave Rimmer, who asked around and nobody had seen a copy either. LITTLE RODGER HATCHER - GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF - DEL-LA-NORTHERN - 103 Another record thet been's rumoured to exist, Originally mentioned by Rodger himself in Steve Bryant's excellent Souled Out mag. John Ridley in his sleeve notesto the Roger Hatcher Collection CD on Expansion doubted it's existence. Cracking dancer co-written & produced by Johnnie Mae Matthews. DONI BURDICK - FAITH - SOUND IMPRESSIONS RECORDS - 6812 TIM DAUGHERTY - FLYING HIGH - ATAC - 2879 LITTLE SONNY GREEN - PEOPLE TALKING BOUT' ME - WHIP - 276 THE ELDEE'S - YOU'RE SUCH A SWEET THING - BIG HIT - 115 I collected the complete Big Hit label, this was easily the hardest to obtain, again I have never seen another copy.

Dave Rimmer Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The Doni Burdick is definitely known. Mike Bolderson wrote an article about Doni Burdick for SKM. Here's what he had to say " "Doni met up with Ernie Stratton who owned a recording studio in Detroit. Stratton had enjoyed success with Patti Young's 'Head And Shoulders' which he had released on his Ernstrat label. After listening to Doni's recordings Stratton said that he would get him a song written by one of the Ruffin brothers. Although this song never materialised other tracks did. Brian 'Funk' Dombrowski set up a late evening recording session and two further tracks were recorded 'Faith' and 'New Rochelle'. Which were subsequently released back to back as Doni Burdick and the Fabulous Thunders on Danny Dallas' SIR label. Largely unheard of on the Northern scene' Faith' was written by Doni's friend Melvin Davies who also had the song released on the Mala label. As for the Fabulous Thunders, well, they didn't actually appear on either track but as Doni said 'a promise is a promise' and he arranged for them to appear on the credits even though they were splitting up."

Dave Rimmer Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 CLEVELAND ROBINSON - COME CHANGE YOUR NAME TO MINE - CLEVELAND ROBINSON SINGS - 2-63 Funnily enough I've just added this to the discography this morning, but then again, the info came from Bosko, who like yourself is a Canadian resident, so I guess you may have been in contact with either him or Martin Koppell about it (Who I know he sees regularly).

Glynthornhill Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Got the 45s from Tony Fox direct. Love Let Love was only pressed in small quantities when issued a runof 100 he told me. Steve G will back me up it WAS heavily played on release. I was selling the 45 for £5 and the LP for a tenner circa 1981. If only Id kept a few back eh - hindsight another useless skill.

Hi Glyn, great story, can you settle another one of my (bad) memories , is the 45' a slightly different take to the LP ? Just out of interest i first heard Searling play this as a new release at Clifton Hall back in the day, i think either Sean Hampsey (as he mentioned) or Steve Mannion (both dj's at Clifton) told me he played it off the LP. One last thing Glynn i met a guy (name escapes me !) at Martin Dixons Modernism night a few years back who played the Blaster LP and told me he got it as a virtual new release from Record Collector at Broomhill, Sheffield (do you remember that shop ?.It's still there, as was in only a few days back) Brett Edited February 19, 2009 by Brett F Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
