    No I've wondered the same myself, if not a jump it seems to miss a beat.

    As said Kev has an issue, one was sold on ebay last year or two.Dunno about the other. Harry, why there was three I don't know, I'll ask Kev when I speak to him if Eddie elaborated.

    There were only three red issues done, that came from Eddie himself who told Kev Murphy when he came over.

    It's been on ebay before, demo and issues. Don't think I'd pay more than £2.5k/£3k for a minter. I wouldn't buy one with two cracks. VG- with two crack and £1700 already, do people not care about the quality of the 45 or is it a case of look what I've got? A linbk would be nice as well: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AL-WILLIAMS-GREAT-DETROIT-NORTHERN-SOUL-45-LA-BEAT-6602-LISTEN-TO-BOTH-SIDES-/221202786434?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item3380b6a882

  7. I'm not saying it is EL by he way, that's just the last name I saw it listed as.
  8. Richards unissued Emanual Laskey.
  9. I can remember sorting the last of them into packs. I think there was three or four full sets and then ran out of Suspicion. £50 for a pack I think? That would be about ten years or so ago.
  10. The white label ones there was about 8 different discs done in total, Gladys Knight, Velvelettes etc, all unissued Motown.

  16. https://www.freep.com/article/20130318/ENT04/130318090/Bobbie-Smith-of-the-Spinners-dies Bobby Smith, longtime lead singer of Detroit group the Spinners, died Saturday in Orlando of complications from pneumonia and the flu, his family said. He was 76. Smith had been diagnosed with lung cancer in November. Funeral details are not set, but services are expected to take place next Monday in Detroit, said the group’s Jessie Peck. Smith’s final performance came in mid-February during the Soul Train Cruise, said Peck. Smith, who had missed several gigs since his cancer diagnosis, was present on the cruise but not expected to perform during the Spinners’ set. Then the group began to perform its 1974 hit “Then Came You.” “Like something out of a movie, Bobby shoots right out onstage and — showman that he is — grabs a mic and sings right on cue,” Peck recounted. “The audience went bananas.” The Ferndale High School graduate had joined the group in 1956, when it was known as the Domingoes. Frustrated with frequent misspellings, group members soon sought a new name, and it was the suggestion of Smith — a lifelong car buff — that won the day: “Spinners” was a nickname for high-end hubcaps. Smith, whose first name was periodically spelled Bobbie, was lead voice on the group’s first hit, 1961’s “That’s What Girls Are Made For,” produced with Harvey Fuqua – a link that led the group to Motown Records two years later. Smith and the Spinners enjoyed only minimal success during their Motown tenure, but broke big after signing with Atlantic Records in 1971 at the suggestion of Aretha Franklin. A stream of hits followed with Smith’s prominent vocals: “I’ll Be Around,” “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love,” “One of a Kind (Love Affair),” “Then Came You,” “Games People Play.” As the group maintained a busy touring and recording schedule, Smith left Detroit for New Jersey in the 1980s, later settling in Florida. Henry Fambrough, the group’s lone surviving original member, warmly remembered his friend and group-mate of more than half a century. “Bobby was a regular, down-to-earth, good-natured person, the kind of guy who’d give you his shirt,” Fambrough said this afternoon. “And ever since I’ve known him, he was just a natural showman.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    As far as I know Andy just the one copy of Little Johnny Hamilton. The rest are test presses that came out years later.
  21. It appears it was the H1N1 viruse that he died off but as of yet still no official statement, just the tributes from fellow artists and friend. R.I.P. Bobby.
  22. mainly Keb and Guy buy a few others in there.

    I wouldn't a ship to Europe unless it was sent internationally signed for. Too many in certain countries scamming sellers, claiming the records never arrive.
