This might be interesting. We just did this on another music board with LPs & ended up not even being able to find a common artist let alone single LP on a board of collectors with seemingly similar tastes. If we can't get a common 45 then it drops to common artist & failing that common label. It's interesting because things that you think are a give in are not kept in the collection by some people because they are either too common, or not representative of their favorite sound. Let lots of "I don't own that" followed by "how can you not own that" ensue You have to currently have the 45 in question filed, pressings don't matter so long as you can find it on 45 in your collection.

I'll get the ball rolling, does anyone here not have:

The Supremes "Baby Love"

The Temptations "My Girl"

???

ps. if you don't collect 45s please don't say no to everything just to wreck it like I think some people were doing on the other board.

Pikey and Steve. None of them Im afraid. Another three suggestions somebody.

ROD

Am I P? Its tricky as mark doesn't seem to own any common 45's

Rod it's a great game, but as soon as Mark said he's not really a fan of Motown or Detroit in general finding a common denominater even between a few of us is errr well nigh on impossible,

And who appointed me referee. Feel like the bossy kid in the playground choosing all the best players for my side.

ROD

Dock of the bay - Otis

Soothe me - Sam and Dave

i will excuse myself from the game, i did not say i dont have any motown records i have approx 4 or maybe 5, i do tend to collect obscurer stuff so perhaps it is unfair. but then there is still no concensus with all the records listed.
