Rotherham Soul

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

Here's one, scroll down the page

Frankie Fords Sea Cruise on London certanly sounds like a disc dub sounds bloody awful

The Du-ettes every beat of my heart on President is certanly a disc dub ,as is The Showmens Our Love Will Grow & Take It Baby on Action

wasn't the London demo of Darrel Banks Our Love/Open The Door To Your Heart a disc dub whereas the SS copy was from tape?( or was it the other way round)?,sure i've read that all the red Atlantics were dubbed from disc, and all the early Tamla -Motown singles were disc dubs too!
