I can only echo what has already been said .. I remember Mick with great fondness ... A truly truly sad day Andy -
He did sing on 'Do It To Me' but I thought that was the only one Andy
-
This is sad news indeed and his passing not long after his one-time sister-in-law, Miss Ray, makes it somewhat more poignant. as you say Dave he wasn't a familiar name to many outside the soul world but that doesn't diminish his talent and incredibly long and productive career. may he rest in peace Andy

We can never be absolutely sure but I would suggest Armin Steiner's Sound Recorders Studio in L.A. Jerry Long would have been the link between Motown and Kent Harris given that he was producing and arranging on some of the Jobete tunes e.g. Paris ... Sleepless Nights (Doc) Andy
-
Brenda was first .... I think we can look to Jerry Long for the recycling of the backing track Andy
-
I too have subscribed to the releases ... It must be a logistical challenge for the guys to keep to a release schedule so far in advance ... None of us know what problems they might encounter along the way I do understand the frustration felt when enquiries aren't responded to but I think we should all feel assured that Mark will do whatever he can to sort things out even though it is not within his direct control Andy

It's a version of the Willows - My Kinda Guy (MGM) .... I think the Denise version was sourced from Detroit based tapes and came out on UK Kool Kat ... Somebody can confirm that Gilly will know the full story I'm sure Andy

Just looked ... can't see end prices .. I got nothing at all ! Andy

This was a white label test press 45 Ady sent me ... I took it to Cleethorpes and asked Little Ann to annotate it which she duly did To me it is priceless Andy
Maxine Brown - Let Me Give You My Lovin' at 47 seconds ... Well alright, it's ok .... I believe this is the 45 version .. Best of the Wand Years CDKEND 312 at 47 seconds .. Well alright, it's alright ... with prominent guitar on intro ... 'Oh No Not My Baby .. Best Of' CDKEND 949 Two People - Stop Leave My Heart Alone : Not sure it's an alternate version but it's in Stereo so sounds very different Johnny Maestro - Steppin Out ... : There is the version with the woman wailing in the middle (Kent 30 CDKEND 384) .. and the other with just male backing vocals ( New York Soul Serenade CDKEND 149) Maxine Brown - It's Torture .. at least 2 versions without drum intro - Kent 30 CDKEND 384 with drum intro - Best of the Wand Years (CDKEND 312) & Livin The Nightlife (CDKEND 104) & Oh No Not My Baby .. Best Of (CDKEND 949) Andy
WAND 149A 50129-1E Andy
and the 45/LP version ... so different Andy
I'm very well Ady .. trust you are too This is the 'Magic Touch' LP version
The version of 'In Between Tears' (Wand 128) you used on a Kent LP ...The Magic Touch (Kent 057, Tr 8) is completely different .. and loads better .. I don't think it's been issued on any other CD/LP The 45 version is on CDKEND 107 'Any Day Now' LP Andy
I had a good look at the listing this morning ... I thought I knew what CJ had in his collection but I didn't realise how many Motown acetates he had ... There are some impressive items ... Tommy Good 'I Gotta Get Away' being one well worth a look Andy
My memory says this was first played by Nev Wherry as The Tartans - Loose Your Feet .... and then revealed as Wendall Parker - My Love's On Ration (Capricorn 7) ... but it was all a scam as it was just the band track to the 4 Seasons - Watch The Flowers Grow ... which had been 'mixed' from the stereo LP version where the instruments were essentially on one channel and the vocals on the other ... I'm pretty sure if you listen to the 7" of Wendall Parker you can just hear the vocals of Frankie Valli ... so it was never a real record, if you get my meaning Andy
Have you got the photo to share ..... Andy
I echo your sentiments ... We all miss him ... One of a kind .. He was a man destined for bigger things with a reputation that was growing daily for reasons that we are all aware of ... He decided it was time to leave but I, for one, will never forget him Andy

More very sad news .. Raynoma Gordy Singleton passed on 11 November aged 79. I had the pleasure of meeting her in Los Angeles many years ago and she was beautiful. funny, full of stories and full of mischief. The day spent with her, Eddie Singleton and Barbara Randolph is one I will never forget. We all talked about Motown, Detroit .. and of course Shrine Records. I wrote about her in the sleeve notes for the first Shrine CD which can be viewed via Soul Source She will be sadly missed by so many R.I.P Miss Ray You were one of a kind Andy added by site http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Raynoma-Singleton&lc=2240&pid=182595545&mid=7165318# In Memory of Raynoma Gordy Singleton March 8, 1937 - November 11, 2016 Scans - Miss Ray connected label scans added 23 Nov 2016
Correct Chalky Mark had it at his disposal to play years before I got it ... As you said in a later post, and I'll interpret your words, he has so many great records so where would he have found the time to introduce it ... He didn't really need to add it to his playlist as it was more than good enough already andy
