Rotherham Soul

Looking at the JM clip that looks like a styrene pressing and looks 100% real AFAIK the yellow boots were vinyl( well mine is:

aren't the yellow ones boots?

So Shocked to here such terrible news spent many a night with Joe chewing the fat about records at The Travellers,Canklow, etc, Our condolences to Becky and family R.I.P. Joe, Ian & Karen

This One? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7nbV7ZJ27k

well it "looks" right imho No Mono/Stereo on label?

same backing track as Bunny Sigler's version?

Yellow boots are on vinyl as opposed to styrene AFAIK

I always thought Marv Johnson's "Come To Me" was the first UK released Motown record, a Motown recording but leased to UA (London 8856 so predates You've Got What It Takes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x6C9gD7Z_I

Always liked the |Gene McDaniels Version

even motown had a dabble in shellac (via the Phillipines)

Haven't seen this one mentioned unless i've missed it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VBE4ELUVQg

Quick question, weren't the "small 45" Okeh's taken from the same pressing plates as the "large45" ones?

Wheres this one from? France,Belgium?Dutch?

...as in the Du-ettes evey beat of my heart on President how did that escape the pressing plant?..was it a dub off an existing damaged copy?

Stamper damage ?

Yup! just up the road from the Ritz round the corner "on Bridgewater Street"?

Didn't she also do a cover of one in a Million? This is my copy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlUHaOL-2r0

Vinyl

Styrene

The first batch were interestingly pressed on vinyl but with normal machine stamped matrix (ZTSP I think) the rest were on normal Columbia Styrene AFAIK Lynne Randell - Stranger In My Arms & Shane Martin - I Need You were among the second batch I think they were legit because of the correct style of matrix stamps

It's By Melanie Fiona - You stop My Heart the backing track is Frankie Avalon "Venus" from the 50's Here you go

Here You Go

Tommy Frontera - Leading Lady Canadian - Quality
