Anderson Brothers - I Can See Him Loving You
When this thread first started I contacted Joseph Anderson, who alongside his brother Stefan, are the Anderson Brothers as featured in the picture They have soulful connections as detailed here .... https://www.geocities.jp/hideki_wtnb/anderson-bros2.html Stefan did record 'You're In Love Child' for Crazy Horse .. which got some spins years ago ... but with regard to the GSF 45 Joseph basically said "It's not us ... we know nothing about it" So I wonder who it is then Andy

Arin Demain - Silent Treatment
That's my recollection as well .... first spun by JM as Lenny Curtis - Not Another Day ... I might even have a cassette tape in the garage of the Cleethorpes spot where it got its first play Apparently the song was recorded at the infamous Gold Star studio in L.A. Andy

Joe Moore on Mar-V-Lus - New York or Chicago recording?
I asked Joe about this and he said it was recorded at the RCA studios in New York ... Gloria Toote said she leased it to the Leaner Brothers as she was trying to get the Tru-Glo-Town product into new markets Andy

Telma Laverne - Baby Don't You Leave Me -Del-La Records out of Detroit
Johnnie Mae told me Telma Laverne and Telma Hopkins were the same person ..... She gave me the unlabelled studio acetate with 2 versions of both sides .... Slightly different mixes with count-in intros ...I like both sides andy

Gloria Shannon
The connection to Motown and/or Detroit might be because the only song with this title registered at BMI is a Edwenna Edwards & Randy Diamond composition .... but it has no publisher listed .. if it was a Motown song I do not believe that would have happened .... Edwenna co-wrote 'Honey Bee', recorded by the Supremes, and Randy wrote 'No Part Time Love For Me', recorded by Martha Star. As I said in 2012 there is no record of this in the Motown database So unless somebody can connect Edwenna or Randy to Dallas then I think we can discount the Motown / Detroit connection and just assume it's a coincidence on the song title But having said all that we have the account from Rob Moss which blows my view out of the water A mystery indeed Andy

Jean Carter 'like one' Decca playability Q?
Agree with all about the faulty Decca pressings ... never heard a decent one Ady had 2 acetates that were alternate versions in so much that they had lots of additional backing vocals ... might just have been different mixes of the same take ... I never A/Bd them to compare As I recall they were in the batch of acetates he got along with Ben E. King - Gettin To Me ... Lou Johnson - Panic Is On etc etc Andy

Irma And The Fascinations
Interesting that this is the 3rd acetate that has surfaced for this song. I wonder if they did more than one studio session for it as these acetates were usually cut after one had ended. The copy on ebay, as linked above, does have the annotation #3 Dave Raistrick obtained the first one from Weldon which went to Rob Marriot ... I have one credited to 'Irma & Weldon' .. and now another The writing on the current ebay copy is very unusual to my eyes ... it looks very 'English' in format ... meaning it looks like no other writing I've seen on Virtue acetates ... but it looks and sounds like the real deal as far as I can tell Andy
