Yes, they are different takes. Although the Chicago group the Creations is credited on the record, it is actually the Brothers of Soul singing. Apparently, the Creations went to Detroit to record "A Dream" with the Brothers Of Soul as producers, but the group had the Air Conditioning turned on in the hotel room overnight and most of them woke up unable to sing properly the next day - the only person from the Creations actually on the record is Gerald Dickerson. Cheers Richard

Nice one Bob - yes that makes a lot of sense On the Big Hit 45 being later, I was puzzled to see the date on the attached scan taken from eBay a while ago showing the date as 1971 Can anyone confirm the date this fabulous record was actually released please (sounds too late for '71 but I guess it could be)? Cheers Richard

The Young Sisters were three young Italian girls who hailed from the east side of Detroit and attended Servite High School. Patti Masaglia was the oldest, and sisters Lisa and Angela Pomilia rounded out the group. Cheers Richard

The lead singer of the top-drawer group Cynthia and The Imaginations (Magic City & Blue Rock) and Cynthia & Imaginary Three (Big Hit) was Cynthia Girty. But who were the Imaginations and the Imaginary Three? And were the two backing groups the same but with just a slight name change, or were the line-ups different? Any info much appreciated Cheers Richard

Hi all Need a green issue or WDJ copy of Sandra Richardson - Stay Here With Me (Inter/Soul) please (not orange or red issues thanks) If you can help out please PM me Thank you! Cheers Richard

Just worth noting that the Soul Brothers WDJ (if it's the same as mine) is unusual among the D-Town WDJs in that it has a watermark in the paper which I think says "DJ COPY" across the label (you can just about see this in the attached scan). Still think from the info and pic available that the other pic is most probably a worn issue - sorry Richard

Me too - looks like the issue Any other distinguishing marks for a W/D? Cheers Richard

Great - nice one Rob - much appreciated Anyone know which one Patti is please? They don't really look like sisters to me - obviously hoping Patti is the better looking one of the three! Don't mind Flynny - he loves his emoticons Cheers Richard

Ouch! sorry about that Dave Totally agree about that break - it's excellent and by far the best part of the song Thanks everyone for all your comments Anyone ever seen and/or could post up a picture of Patti Young please? Cheers Richard

Also at the end of Willie Kendrick - Change Your Ways in the ad-lib bit at the end - but can't be that as you wouldn't be asking what it was Cheers Richard

Cheers Richard

OK - now I would really like to know who the Ric-Tic obsessive is - or are we supposed to know that already? - and why they say this is a 100% guaranteed counterfeit please I have this copy too and have an open mind on this particular version of the 45 but - I am also a Ric-Tic obsessive - so with all due respect to Tony and his mate I want to hear a more evidence-based theory please, rather than just that he sits behind Tone at work Cheers Richard

Hi Gilly Not sure I've seen the one with the two lines Don't suppose you have a scan of that one do you please? Cheers Richard

One of my faves from Willie K What's That On Your Finger willie kendrick - whats that on your finger - Cheers Richard

Nice one Dave - so now we have to do the deadwax marking etc I guess Intringuing this Cheers Richard

What was that other version - Marlina Mars on MGM? Anyone got any info or a scan on that one? Cheers Richard

I was offered a mint minus issue back in late 2001 or early 2002 The seller wanted £500 for it then which seemed way over at the time - so I declined Have seen a few since then but mostly rough looking white promos Cheers Richard

Here are a some additional scans Cheers Richard

Had a quick look Geordie and could find mention of Patti Young in a couple of places but nothing about smashing up a load of copies - have you got the link please? Cheers Richard

Cheers Geordie Sounds interesting - I'm gonna check that out Richard

OK - here is Paul's scan also showing 2:25 on a promo- thanks Paul Anyone have an issue or promo with different timings to those posted above please? Cheers Richard

Aah - very interesting - cheers Paul I will PM you and maybe you can email me the scan please? Meanwhile, here is a scan from the laptop of an issue 2:58 and promo 2:25 - so maybe it's a promo versus issue difference? Cheers Richard
