Kim Weston - Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me For A Little While) (Gordy) But beaten by Debonaires - I'm In Love Again (Solid Hit)

Well pleased with the first choice!

Thank you for your response. I can totally appreciate the nightmare that you have had to go through on this set. Sequel tried to do a similar project years ago and failed. More recently, Eddie Holland was approached about a similar project at the time Ace put out his CD compilation but that didn't happen either. You've done much better than all earlier attempts. Well done.

If access to UK masters is possible, why not include all the UK releases eg I'm On My Way To A Better Place, Come Back, Silent Boatman, and the 2 versions of Somebody's Been Sleeping on Hot Wax 102 and 108. Since the track listing is by reference to American catalogue number, will those be the American mixes and not the UK mixes? As I am sure you are aware, the US releases are often noticeably different from their UK counterpart - examples that instantly come to mind are Westbound no 9 (I have 2 different mixes and both are different to the UK 45) ; While You're Out Looking For Sugar and You Got Me Dangling On A String

The track also features on the Generally Speaking album.

Any chance of the 45 from Laura Lee Barking Up The Wrong Tree/Love's Got Me Tired (issued on Ariola America)?

The flip side of Jones GIrls Taster of The Honey has been listed as I'll Catch You When You Fall - Laura Lee also recorded it. Are any of these tracks on this cd set being taken from the original masters?

I spoke to Brenda Holloway. Brenda told me that she was signed to Invictus and she has no idea why her songs came out on Music Merchant. Brenda recorded more than enough material for an album including many songs that came out as big hits by the like of Glass House, Freda Payne, Laura Lee and Honey Cone. Good luck with the project. I've tried to do it in years past with Sequel but was sadly unsuccessful. I'm so pleased that the powers that be have agreed to release the unissued material. I hope it might include alternative mixes of the released 45's in addition to their 45 mixes.

Definitely my favourite group.

JJ Barnes - Show Me The Way - also on Martha & the Vandellas JJ Barnes - (Tell Me) Aint It The Truth All three are on youtube

The Debonaires "I'm In Love Again" (UK Track/US Sidra) is a track that is really very short and clocks in at about 1:50. I remember thinking that when I heard it on BBC Radio 1 on release. Experience suggests that timings on labels should only be used as a guide And if I remember correctly, the UK Track 45 incorrectly shows the writers as HDH - possibly confused with a song with the same title on the flip side of the Supremes "Stopl In The Name Of Love" (TMG 501). The flip side "Headache In My Heart" simply showed "Unknown" as the writers!! Not sure what was worse. IMO, one of the best Detroit double sided 45's ever.

Unfortunately no.

Thank you Soulshake
