I was wrong. Same backing, just different mix.

I don't know anything about the writing credits. But what I know is that the backing is similar but not the same. Same sheet of music but different recordings. (I know that sounds pretty pedantic) PS: thanks for posting Big Maybelle's version. I didn't know of it before.

Yes

CBS issued 4 records sung in german on Tamla-Motown. "Jonny and Joe" is the most common one. Whoever bought it paid about three times it's real value. well done.

You're right we don't have any sense of humour. Willy Millowitsch was an actor. Not a comedian.

Maybe because eventually folks realised what a great record it is? I'd heard it at many continental europe venues over the years. Each time I thought I'll get a copy one day. Finally bought one last year and it's still among my current favourites. The deep flip is just as good.

Correct title is "Why you wanna treat me the way you do". The misspelt title is rarer but not that much rarer than the correct one (IMO)

Is this a single track 45 or an EP? Only heard of an EP release before. PS: Issue.

Del Royals - Some kind of wonderful/same - Mercury WD Just bought this blind. But it's not really my cup of tea so I'm going to sell it again. Has anyone any idea of a fair price for it? I googled for it but prices seem to be all over the place, from $25 to 50 UKP. Is 10/15 quid ok? Thanks! Benji

I don't have it myself, but I remember seeing a white label demo of the german Stax release many years ago. Maybe this is the one?

Don't think any of them were pressed?

I still like the LP. All but one tune (Eddie Hollad- Outside looking in) unreleased. Sound quality differs but most tracks play quite good. My favourite track is Angel Doll by the Temps. PS: Never reached vol.2

Don't know about Rob, but Chris was involved. And yes, it's on the LP.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Eventually managed to find vol1 and vol2 of the Marriott's Detroit tapes. Vol2 is missing the original inlay, just a typed tracklisting, here it is: Connie Van Dyke - Don't do nothing I wouldn't do The Metros - Since I found my baby The Lollipops - Loving good feeling Arabians - Please take a chance on me Bob & Fred - I'll be on my way Martha Starr - I'm lonely Jimmy Ruffin - Don't feel sorry for me Four Gents - Young girls beware George Freeman - Down and out Sea Shells - Quiet home Appreciations - It's better to cry Soulettes - Bring your fine self home Four Voices - Your love is getting stronger Gwen Owens - I lost a good thing Magnetics - Heart you're made of stone Jackie Beavers - Love that never grows cold Steve Mancha - Did my baby call Gwen Owens - Mystery man Diane Lewis - you ain't got a chance Lee Rogers - Sock some love power to me Lorraine Chandler - Tell me you're mine Emanuel Laskey - Don't lead me on Rose Batiste - I just can't leave you Melvin Davis - I must love you Debonaires - Loving you takes all of my time Doni Burdick - Bari track I know some mistakes among them, i.e. George Freeman and Diane Lewis C/up aren't Detroit. But great stuff nevertheless Here's a scan of vol1's tracklist:

What I heard I sure did. Thing is, I don't really have the time to play podcasts online. I usually download them and put them on my iPod to have some entertainment while commuting. And I'd like to know what I'm listening to hence my request for a playlist.

Nice one, many thanks! Any chance of a tracklist that I could add to the downloaded mp3 file for my ipod?

I ounce bought MIke & Ray on Giant described as WOL. Turned out it's signed by them

IMO not really that much rarer than the issue. but quite valuable seeing the price for the issue these days.

I used to dislike Buddy Smith, mostly because of his lisp. But now I think it's a really great record. Very basic production, amateur-ish but so ambitious and soulful, I love it.
