Tony Smith

Also the flip of Monique "Never Let Me Go" utilizes another Topper backing track Dottie & Millie "Nothing In the World", I thought maybe something would have come to light by now, alas not.

Not white, Isn't he related to Nancy Wilson?

Del-Tours c/u as Mel Wynn?

Fuxx me ,told you Prem Stuf would tell you and he was there on the button

One is a local detroit issue the other a new york Atco release number, there are a couple of duplicate numbers, Four Bros, Premium Stuff will remember I'm in me cups just now

I've got one thanks

Yet another "rare" Palmer demo

Keb played it, I seem to remember him playing the "What's So Good.." more though.

Stateside changed it's numbering system to the 2000 series in 1966 to avoid further clashing with Tamla.

I assumed "T"amla "M"otown "G"ordy?

There was an article in one of the mags, SKM, Shades? can't remember which, Barrie Waddington had some info he'd got from a couple of thr band memebers years back. I'll drop him a line.

This has been discussed before here or maybe on SoulTalk, members of the Tempests on backing a Carolinas recording along with I Can't Hide It".

Can lend you it, if needs be.

No mate, it went like this, Pat gave it quite a big introduction (as Maurice McAllister), then the record starts, I turn to my friend Matthew Simpson and say "you've got this haven't you" (Keb had played it a little, the year before, where we knew it from), he trots of to tell Pat him he knows it, to be told no it's different version, Butch was now on the stage with the record from his sales box, at which point Pat takes it off saying Thanks to Butch for pissing me off that's 100 quid down the drain.

Wilmington, Delaware owned by James Chavis, or at least a connection to his labels, the Mello Souls had a release on Chavis/Candi as Joan says it's on here somewhere, Chalky will know.

Famously played once (actually just 1/2 the record!) at Stafford by Pat Brady c/u as Maurice McAllister.

Yes mate

2267 M Barnett 530 Imaginations 266 Bros Gilmore 259

I think that refers to the inception of the label rather than the release of this particular number. Just as Mar-V-lus has 1963 on it's label for most of the releases.

Quite agree Mark, fabulous midtempo currently played by Ady

Stafford spin c/u as Florence Miller "Make It Last" great record

Sold mine for 250 a couple of years back, it was never anywhere near a $800 record especially with the amount of copies that are around.

..and that Cody Black west coast press is a new one on me too!

Sure I've got a promo of this? Given away free at the Ritz a few years back.

It looks real to me, though in that condition I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.
