Good shout ... couldn't see the Carol King book in there Andy

You did him the alternate version with the funny guitar in the break .... I don't think that version has ever been released ... Sound quality was a bit low-fi Andy

You did one for Mr Searling Andy

I posted these pictures in the Gucci thread ... maybe not the best place to do that So let's talk about his genius I do expect Gilly to share his memories Andy

On holiday ... was touring South India ... back home now where it is a little cooler

Her 'Life isn't fair' T-shirt is quite poignant Andy

I caught a lady doing a selfie in India ... and some other stuff

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

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
