Hi George hope your well (hope you can make Lifeline again as well this weekend was good to see you again at the last 0one ) Without doubt this is my favourite ever Motown track, all the takes I love. I could listen to it all day long!!

oops never noticed when i typed this morning Ken... I think it's the spell checker in Safari, changes many a word to something totally unrelated to what I was writing. Hope your spelling is ok

Some info about the Advance boots from John Manship in this topic

isn't it a Levine production.

what's on the flip and have you a scan of the flip?

Not sure Benji, didn't think it was 300 though but could be wrong and I thought it was £30?

I thought I'd got a scan that I'd posted on the site before of the inner sleeve said person did with the tracks on but can't find it. some off top of me head.... Eddie Holland - Outside Looking In Kim Weston - Any Girl in Love Creations - Say Say Baby Velvelettes - Boy From Crosstown (?) Tempts - Angel Doll ..........

£15 to £20 seems a bit cheap. Weren't there just a 100 done?

As you say Kris a bad day. Jerry Leiber along with Mike Stoller one of the great partnerships in music.

As mentioned no idea he was ill? Sad loss to music. RIP.

Such a shame. At least you got to interview him Bob and get his story out and he could see just how much he was still appreciated RIP Johnny.

Not strictly correct, a few miles up the road in Mansfield. Simon gave a clue in one of his posts who it was but his name has been mentioned in previous topics about the LP. I remember going to get a copy for myself and one for John Kingan, was on a Wednesday cause it was unlikely there would be any left for the weekend, they were selling that fast. Still got my copy in cupboard. As said volume two never got made.

already a topic about this one. Will merge the two.......

maybe it has. It's always been one thats been pretty popular though and gets plenty of glances still when played.

Many thanks Robb, Rod and Simon, some great info If you struggle took much with that list Rod we can always throw it open to the floor so to speak

Like buses Bob, wait all day for one then three roll up. Not that common, maybe as you say coincidence several turned up at same time.

I've seen this go for three figures several times and it was £75 over here 5 or 6 years ago when the other side in demand. This side known about then but more in demand these days. I paid £30 ten years ago, second copy I've had. https://www.ebay.com/...6#ht_566wt_1413

The more youngsters the better as far as I'm concerned. You should reply with something like "shouldn't you be back in the home by now" or "have they just dug you up for the night". Give 'em some cocky young lip back, find a good put down always works and shuts some folk up. Hopefully no comments like the one you've been attracting will be made at Lifeline and you will be more than welcome.

What year would this be Rod exactly and what else was on the tape?

Have you heard the take that sounds like late 60's early 70s, slightly funky(?), wah wah guitar effects or summit like etc. Not as good as the straight 60's takes but an interesting take all the same. Simon T put up a Suspicion mix in refosoul that has 3 or 4 takes in it, unfortunately can't listen just yet.

Either late 80's or early/mid 90's Pete. can remember Greg Tormo (think it was Greg) telling me how he wandered round the convention picking the record up off the floor that others discarded.

Just been upstairs and re-checked the R&B Indies. Kazia and Kelly St Clair the releases but R&B Indies list it as Chicago which is wrong. Same as the Pittsburg/Detroit owned label. The Kazia one is same as 101 with the but with different flip by Kazia, not the one with Tawney Vonne as in the scan.

Maybe prices are at last finding something like a natural level. For me they have been well above average since the mid to late 90's when there was a lot of spare cash about with many returnees having got rid of kids and mortgage. Still lots of examples about though of collectors paying well above the odds for a want.

Pretty surge the actual lead vocal is about plus two quicker. Anyway if you slow the Presentations down a touch it is practically the same vocally. I'll dig it out later, sure there's one in sales box on AMM.
