As the 1950s slipped away, 3 erstwhile young Philly music men embarked on a dream..to make records...And believe me....MAKE RECORDS THEY CERTAINLY DID! Regards, Dave https://www.theresthatbeat.com https://www.hitsvillesoulclub .com

Another that certainly looks kosher to me. Miff, you asking about the song or the label? The label design is definitely Kosher. Same as mine as far as I can remember. Unless of course mines dodgy too! God, Tony's got me all paroid now!! I'm off to dig my Motown boxes out and check 'em all! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat. www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Tony, Yep, That's a great point actually. I don't see how we can ever be sure unless someone does an exhaustive investigation of the labels. It's such a massive undertaking. Different plants, different distributors, old stock of labels, "small legal" differences in some 45s of the same song. Subsequent further pressing runs to meet demand of a hit. I suppose that's one of the attractions of collecting it all eh? Tell you what Mate...my missus recons it simply CAN'Tt be good for us! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Bogue, As far as I've always been aware The R is the date that the song was registered with Ascap/BMI. Can't remember any bootlegs/reissued of the main core of the Tamla/Motown etc labelled stuff. The Pinks were "reissued" in the 80s and there are 45s repros of some rarer items like Patrice Holloway (VIP) etc, but I think the availalblity of tracks like IGIALY on original vinyl would preclude tye bootleggers being interested. Best, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi There, Andrew "Mike" Terry is a name that conjures up the most magical of Motown musical memories. One of the few people from the era that can wear the mantle of "legend" with complete comfort. But Motown wasn't Mike's only contribution to the world of soul music.... click here for a peek at his story... Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Only really got one pet hate as far as soul is concerned... Looking at old sales lists from Soulbowl and JMs etc from back in the day and kicking myself for not buying every single 45 on there when I should have. So many records......so little time....(or money depending on what time of the month it is! ) Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Never understood how the Nabay 45 ever found itself the object of the "soul police". It's a fantastic record, completely dominated by it's Mike Theodore and Dennis Coffey arangement. Powerful Drum/Bass line, simple chorus, great hookline, decent vocal, all creating an atmospheric dancer. Some would say.....Err.... all the makings of a Northern Soul classic. Nabay was in fact a local Detroiter, although he was of Lebonese descent. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Thanks guys . Much appreciated . GEOFF...I pm'd you but it looks like the syste m isn't working 100% yet. Can you email me at hitsville2648@earthlink.net Cheers, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I'm looking for a copy of the cheapo LP that The Contours "Baby Hit And Run" was first played from. I think it was on the reissue Sounds Superb (Woolworths) label although memory might have gone and it may ell have been MFP or Pickwick or summat. Anyway, anyone got one for sale? Or at least a good scan of the cover and label. Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Bought both Mel Britt (Barrie Waddington) and Nabay (Casino Record Bar), and was playing both at Concorde Soul Club in 77/78. If I had 'em by then, so did lots of others. Unfortunately the Nabay was traded on and hasn't been replaced yet. ....Damn! Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com www.theresthatbeat.com

Yep, No biggie Mate, Take it or leave it. That's exactly what I do. Just an observation is all. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I'm not selling any 45s here so I'm hoping this is the right forum for this, if not could the moderators please move to correct one. Ta. I buy records on a daily basis, I sell odd bits too, but wouldn't class myself as a dealer as I only do it to raise dosh for more records for my collection. I receive lists from all over, probably 10 a day at least, as well as checking the usual online locations same as everyone else I expect. I am one of those colectors who after 30 yeras has learnt that patience is a virtue and so I tend to wait for stuff, as I know, just like London buses, usually three will be along sometime in the future. So, here's my observation. There's a lot of folks "chancing it" with their sales in the sales sections at the moment dont you think? It's becoming like a series of "reverse" auctions. Put summat up at a ridulous price and see if some Herbert bites, if not, drop it a bit a few days/weeks later and see what happens. People who own the said overpriced records then come on and bolster the price by saying I would rate it at..(insert insane amount here), simply because a. They personally paid too much for theirs. or b. They bought theirs from a source that is 50% dearer than the majority of collectors. or c. They have one and everyone likes to think they got a bargain. I used to buy quite regularly from S Sourcers, but have only bought 2 in the last 3/4 months and they were both at top prices, (but were absolute MINTERS though, which is important to me). So here's a question? What percentage of sales on S Source do folks think actually sell? It'd be better if dealers allowed a few non dealers/collectors to chip in before claiming that you can only speak for yourself, but you sell 95% of your stuff. Not wishing any confrontation with any dealers, (God Forbid! I might need you in the future ), just looking at a trend and wondering if any other collectors have any thoughts? Or have I dreamt it all? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Mike, They're around on a regular basis Mate. Around the 50 of your Breeteesh Pounds should secure you them (each). Someone who's paid 100UKP will now come ond say 100 but I paid $78 and $97 to upgrade to better copies of mine in the last year. (Demos too). Patience is a virtue. Hope this helps. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com www.theresthatbeat.com

The listings are coming on nicely Mate. I'm beavering in the background too, ready to start a few more next week. It'll take us a lifetime but hey......who cares? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I was always under the impression that the Yellow Linda is actually the DEMO of the purple Issue? Are there two issues of the Linda version? ie. A Purple Demo? Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com www.theresthatbeat.com

This is not a definitive answer Roger but here's my theory as a number of the label's discs appear on both label designs it's as good as any I reckon. Joe eventually got access to credit line from Columbia and I think he may have paid cash for his first runs and then later used the credit line to press up extra copies to either: a. Cash in on a successful local hit. or b. Relaunch the single a second time. The strange thing is the way the label went from Clown/Bike design to the other one for these second(?) releases and then returned to the clown/bike logo. Maybe that 's the clue to option b. Probably way off the mark, but it's theory eh? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Goldspot is the original. Kenny then went on to become an executive at GA Records. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
