Platters 81

and its a real nice tune.............

yes i like "all cried out"........its got that basic low-fi feel to it ....

no youre all wrong..........but ive forgotten why..........."hic"

the top one is West Coast...delta matrix 62382......at least mine is......

mines like the Popsike one but has a black star on the IH side (middle right under the W4K....)...would this indicate the Plug side..(demo)?

Jackie Milton "Little by Little" on Devel......great cheapie.......i happen to have a spare

great album.......

outstanding version...marvellous vocals......Paul Kyser strikes again....

ive got this as well......theres a very rare Diana Ross photo on the back cover...presumably used at the start of her solo career when there wasnt many solo shots about.. that was a cut out of a Supremes photo session that yielded the front cover of a Supremes album ...cant remember which

What is the source of this...CD ..LP..?....tia ...sounds like a later rerecording.....

slighty off topic..i think i mentioned some time ago i have a 7" no label metal acetate of "Instant Heart break" i got from Tim A years ago...which is about 5 rpm slower than the Drew issue...i wonder if this is how it was originally recorded ..and speeded up for the Drew release...play the Drew at -5 ..let me know what you think...Dream Girl is identical Acetate and Drew recording

real nice crossovery flip too........in feel if not date

a good source of info is GEMM...key in "Horace Ott"...sellers like JM often give arranger/producer info in their descriptions...

didnt he arrange the Geminis 45s on Rca ?

great info Dave.......is the Louise Williams album track "The Ghetto" the Donny Hathaway tune?.....

great info ......i always used to assumethey were early boots.....any idea where the label was based...?.(UK?)...the original 45s are all over the place geographically in US.....i'm trying to think what market they were aimed at.(you could say the Twisted Wheel!)..they werent all big hits..altho i would imagine that some sold in fair quantities......heres a scan of Darrell Banks......wonder what 507 was?

Ethics "Look at me now" (Vent)..love this and the fabbo flip "Think about Tomorrow"..great Philly tune

reminds me of that Gene Wilder line in Young Frankenstein....."nice grouping"...

Ultimations..."Would i do it over" on Mar-V-Lus.......it certainly is

i havent got the long/short demo so i cant confirm for definite...there was a good thread on this a while ago.....one thing is interesting is the mislabelling of the short vocal version on the UK EMI ISSUE as "Dynamite Explodes" (Morris Bailey..of Celestrals fame among others)...which is actually the title of the Gentle Persuasion song (US Soul Dimension/UK People)....

I think this is an early boot..(71/72?)...i sent a scan for JM to include in his next bootleg guide....ive only got the 3rd edition...has there been one since?..BTW the labels on mine are reversed ...are they all like this

Leon Collins.....came out twice with diff B sides.....both good

i had both at one time (then i sold the black one (i was going thru my "beige" period at the time) then i was told the brown was a boot ...why i believed this i dont know as it was a common 45...my theory is that the brown was first because for the second run they ran out of brown ink and had to use the plentiful black

when dancing to this you should of course do the Madison

i always liked the copy of Gino Washington on Mala...is it rarer than an Atac copy these days?
