Platters 81

fascinating info.......ive wondered how Pat came to record "Do It" ...which was a Chicago tune for the Marvelows in 65 on Abc.....ive always theorised it was picked up from the LA Marvellos who may have done the tune live ......

Argentinian....now that a value for money double -sider. ..they were consecutive releases in US..so i guess this is some kind of promo....

Canadian...did Atco release any other Dakar tunes in Canada?

few from me......

i hope you are getting paid for all this promotion Chalky.......vinyl...drugs...girrls..........(not nescessarily in that order)

Spanish Pye with insert..............theres some comparison with Barry White.....but im not a Spanish expert.......

nice white vinyl double A..Curtom 45.....

Ballads "I wish i knew" on Venture...?..recorded about 6 years earlier..

one of my favs on the label......great motowny girly.....anyone post a soundfile as mines on the blink

one of my favs......

one of my fave JJ 45s.....checkout the refosoul clip.......i understand the backing femme vocal was sister Ortheia...and the band sounds like the Funk Bros....marvelous and nice and cheap .... J J Barnes - Poor Unfortunate Me -

one of my fave Smash 45s..........

theres a good thread about Century City/Gordo on Soul Talk..........

top notch article.....really enjoyed reading it .....

the theory on this is that the original issue as "Heartaches" was a misprint of the Artistics tune on 55353.(title and credits)..corrected to "Blue Skies " soon afterwards.......

the Carl Carlton LP is worth getting.....apart from YCSAMIL and Competition....its got his version of International Playboy which i think is contemporary with WP version...also two good none 45 tracks....(i think) .."You make me feel like a grown up man" and "did you mean it".............

one from me...

check out the Soul Talk thread re the connection between Century City and Gordo........
