Donnell Pitman 'love Explosion'
Haha! Ofcourse... Might just be coincidence then, have seen it on other 45's though.

Donnell Pitman 'love Explosion'
I don't know if this is of any help but the numbering on the Johnny Drummer 45 (PS-113183) should probably be read 11/31/83, i.e. mastered/plated on the 31st of November 1983.

Picture Sleeve values?
Most people buying that Jerms 45 is getting it for the "I'm A Teardrop" side.

Paola & The Mess Arounds
The debut album by swedish group Paola & The Mess Arounds entitled "Silently Whispering I Love U" has just been released! Heavily Motown / northern soul influenced stuff and includes plenty of great uptempo dancers. The album is available for streaming on Spotify and YouTube. It's also released on vinyl LP in an edition of 500 copies. The LP can be ordered from me at the cost of £20 (including worldwide shipping). If interested, PM me for more info. Here are three of the tunes:

John Harris And The Soul Sayers Now Out On 45
Ofcourse the Bear Family reissue is legit. Bear Family is one of, if not the, most prolific and respected reissue label in the entire world.

Yes that's probably exactly what happened. But the arrow label was introduced in August 1966, so the "Midnight Johnny" arrow-labelled 45 must be from after August 1966. It probably doesn't matter to most people, but I'd rather have the March 1964 release if I could choose.

According to the Seabear Studios website (https://www.seabear.se/Gordy1.html) which is usually pretty thorough in their research: The first 45 that utilised the "arrow" logo was: GORDY 7055 - Temptations - Beauty is Only Skin Deep / You're Not An Ordinary Girl It was released in August 1966. All earlier numbers utilising the "arrow" design are reissues/repressings done after August 1966. Why Liz Lands got reissued? Who knows? Perhaps they just ordered a repress of the wrong cat#?

Big Arctic Records Package Coming
OK... I guess I'll have to give the actual box-set a go then. It doesn't make any sense though that Spotify requires that the music is in stereo, they don't, there's lots of mono stuff on there. So were two sets of mixes/masters done? Stereo for downloads and mono for the CDs?

Big Arctic Records Package Coming
It's such a pity and a real lost opportunity to do things properly. Ever since the Arctic/Jamie/Guyden stuff first started to appear on CD it's been the same. I remember buying the "Storm Warning" CD with "all new stereo mixes by Tom Moulton"... I don't care who re-mixed them, they sound like shit compared to the original 45s. For example, listen to "Love Addict" on the box-set, one of the most in-your-face sounding 45s I have in my collection. This new stereo mix makes it sound mellow and disjointed in comparison. It's as if the people doing the re-mixing/mastering have got no idea what the song was originally supposed to sound like. Just becuase you have the multi-track tapes and can make a stereo mix, you don't have to do it.

Big Arctic Records Package Coming
All tracks recently turned up on Spotify: Sadly most of the tracks are presented in abysmal stereo mixes. Why do a set like this in stereo?

Regional Garland - Mixed Sugar - The Complete Works 1970-1987
That's what I suspect happened as well. Perhaps Campbell "forgot" who wrote the original music and just went ahead with it... Oh well!

Regional Garland - Mixed Sugar - The Complete Works 1970-1987
Looks great! By the way, does anyone know what Regional Garland's links were to "It's You For Me" by Carla Whitney? Has got the exact same backing track as 21st Generations "I Need Love", but there is no mention of Garland anywhere on the Carla Whitney 45.

Dance With The Contours - Unreleased Motown lp gets a date - Kent
It would make a fantastic compilation in my opinion. Might help make the general soul listener a bit more aware of the awesome stuff that Motown put out prior to the big hits as well. Have been thinking of compiling a CD like that for my own listening pleasure and there's plenty more where the list above came from. A few tunes off the top of my head: Earl King - A Man And A Book Contours - Whole Lotta Woman Gino Parks - Fire Gino Parks - For This I Thank You Bob Kayli - Tie Me Tight Lee & The Leopards - Trying To Make It Richard Wylie And "His Band" - Money (That's What I Want) Miracles - If Your Mother Only Knew Temptations - Oh Mother Of Mine
