Miracles - If your mother....Label variant ?
A bit of research last night and it seems that the Miracles third LP was released in 1962 but most of the songs had been used already on 45's. Motown weren't keen on 'Mother' as a 45 and felt the new tracks didn't sound like the Miracles. So the solution was to go back to 'Way over there' which flopped on its 1960 release and back it with 'Mother'. However as you say #94 was its best place in the chart. The initial mix of 'mother' wasn't great and Motown decided to pull the 45 and remix and reissue, hence the 06 and 09 records. Another source suggests that as Motown grew worldwide and Smokey Robinson's individual popularity had increased towards the later 60's Motown tried to capitalise again by reissuing some of the earlier 45's. No firm evidence on that just speculation.

Miracles - If your mother....Label variant ?
Yes looks like ARP but a bit mashed. Can we confirm repress ? If so why would Motown repress ?

Miracles - If your mother....Label variant ?
Put this in the wrong thread.... Thread in 2014 in Wants about the variants for this 45 Ok so I know this thread goes back some time but looking through the boxes I got a little curious about this. I've looked at Popsike and Google in general and I don't seem to see this label variant (see scan). It has 2 stamps in the run out groove - one is "Nashville Matrix" and the other I cant make out as its smaller (you might be able to make this out if you can enlarge - bottom left to the left of the Nashville matrix). The DM025209 is scratched in the run out also with a small "10" about 1 cm to the right. Way over there is the flip BTW. If any of you Motown aficionados can provide some info, that would be great. Cheers Andy

Help With Lost Record...
Len 25 years ago I found a Mel Britt I thought had been lost or stolen stuck inside an LP cover alongside the LP itself. For years I had dark thoughts and suspicions about its fate, but there it was in the LP cover. To this day I still do not know it got there, as I certainly would not have put it there, and finding it was pure chance as I was about to sell some albums. You probably have it somewhere, but that pesky vinyl ghost has moved it 😨

Ernest Ernie & The Sincerities - 7" release
I was told 500. Not sure if this is true but came from someone reliable, so I've no reason to doubt it.
-
Ernest Ernie & The Sincerities - 7" release
I think it is a fairly limited release and as its been all over social media and advertised by dealers, there is probably little chance of getting one immediately. However some will come to the market in the short term I'm sure, like most of the other limited releases do.

Non Vinyl
Grahame Don't despair or give up. The 150 sounds you know are just a tiny fraction of what's out there. As others have said trawl through Youtube and follow the recommendations and you will here a whole range of sounds that now constitute the rare soul scene - northern, modern, crossover, sweet group etc. Look on the dealer sites and play their sound files. As with any of us there will be tunes you like and others not, but I assure you there are thousands of tunes waiting for you. As for venues, DJ's, exclusivity, CD's, mp3's etc. that's a bit of a political minefield, but suffice to say (with tin hat firmly on) that CD's and mp3's at a venue are a bit of a no no. There are plenty of venues which still play towards the oldies scene with the classic sounds of yesteryear, and maybe this is the place to start for you. Look out for something advertised as 'Northern Soul & Motown Night' and I'm sure you will hear some of your faves and see a packed dance floor. Record collecting need not be an expensive pastime as there are plenty of 5 quid records that will tickle your fancy. But I would say come and join the scene with an open mind and listen to everything it has to offer.👍 Andy

V Rare Modern Boogie / Deep - Richard Mark
Hi For sale is a 45 I know nothing about except that it seems very rare and the last copy sold I could find went for $735 on Ebay and many people have it as a 'want' on Discogs. Is this Richard Marks or a different artist i.e Richard Mark ? https://www.popsike.com/DeepModern-Soul-45-Richard-Marks-I-Cant-Stand-Midtown-mp3-rare/201374680789.html Richard Marks - Pretty Woman / I can't stand (being alone without you) - Midtown VG++ £600 (or offers around ) Top side is a modern boogie dancer with a lovely ballad deep flip. Labels are clean, no writing, rips etc ( see scans). Both sides of the vinyl have some radial surface marks which do not affect play, but the vinyl is bright and shiny otherwise. PM with any questions queries etc. I'll leave it up for a week or so then put it on Discogs if no interest to anyone. Postage would be as Special delivery at around £8, and worldwide would be sent Airsure or other tracked and traced method (please contact me if overseas). As always full refund available. Cheers Andy Edit: I've now had it confirmed that this is definitely Richard Marks of Tuska et al fame. Must be a label misspelling.

Oh dear
I'm not disagreeing Chalky, people who have always liked the more upfront side will know many of them but we don't know them all, and of course other genre's of soul music have become accepted e.g. group soul harmony. I can guarantee I hear something or several things I don't know or have only heard infrequently. If you are saying that this is equivalent to an oldies top 50 bash, slipping on talc and having your shins whipped by 40" baggy bottoms during a spin, then I think its a negative view. Anyway here's a picture of me, Mick Brown and Franc Giacobbe on the way to Groovin in Derby a few weeks back. Francs the good looking one keeping his hand on the talc in his pocket. Andy Mac

Oh dear
Chalky once again I agree with 90% of what you state. However we are 30/40 years on from when new sounds were discovered regularly, so it wont be the same now as it was then, it never can be. I mentioned two venues above and I don't know if you have attended either, but will you hear something 'known' - yes of course, but you will also hear a spread and range of musical styles that present something different. Its more of a mix like the Euro scene and my experience has been these venues are well supported as are others I have attended. Andy

Selling on Discogs - VAT question
Thanks to all for the advice Andy
-
Oh dear
I would agree in the most Chalks, but there are still venues that do something different. I find the Sunday venues are the best in terms of "something different". There are a number around the midlands and could recommend the likes of Groovin @ The Tavern in Derby and Feed Your Soul in Newark are just two of them. Other Sunday soul brands are available 😉 At the last 'Groovin' there was everything from group harmony/sweet soul, modern, crossover and NS with the odd soulful Reggae track thrown in for good measure.
