Dunno if I know the Fiestas Railroad Song but the flip Broken Heart is a good record, got spins mid 80' (if it's the one I'm thinking of).

aye, not be far off at that Kenny. Could always buy the lp, shouldn't even cost a ton for that. Cracking record one of my all time fave 70's tracks.

according to "Don't forget the Motor City" it is cd only.... Don't Stop Loving Me (William Stevenson-Ivy Jo Hunter) publ. Jobete Ivy Jo; rec 22-Apr-65 ; produced by William Stevenson, Ivy Jo Hunter 15-Oct-07; CD: Motown-5303228-2 A Cellarful Of Motown Volume 3 [ UK

sorry but can't resist any longer but 20010 will there be any ex Torch goers around then

aren't there additional costs with Gemm which are then passed on to customer by the seller? Whenever I've sourced through Gemm I've usually bought from the seller privately to get round the extra cost.

great minds Mr. Rimmer

Dave Flynn's site has a long list of records and what they were covered up as.... https://www.anorakscorner.com/CoverUps.html

Morning Gimme the Martells and Melvin Brown any day over the Sheepherders. Never really taken to the Sheepherders, rarity over quality IMO.

It has been picked up and played by others, has been a regular spin out and about for a few years now. I wouldn't say it was a tad overlooked when it fetched $2400+ and it got more views than the Martells.

Do you know which issue of Shades of Soul the article is in? I'll dig it out and scan it. I don't doubt Dan's article, he did the research, Robert Holmes is credited on both the discs.

is there an article about the Hytones, wasn't Dan involved?????? or am I thinking of summat else?

it was before Bretby Ted, few years before. Would be mid 80's...'87? You are right with the Escorts. Rob later got it off Steve, Remember Rob playing this at 100 Club three times in one set!

this one is to be precise Silas Phifer and the Mellow Fellows and Edwin Johnson & The Mellow Fellows. They are the Mello Souls. Not a great record mind, either side. Sound clips are in refosoul.

Back in the day hardly saw one on either then saw more on Bell but in more recent years seen more probably on Southern Artists. If both came up for auction I doubt there would be too much price discrepancy between either release.

you could well be right Jock, not had the time to keep an eye on prices lately unless I'm looking for something that is

not even an acetate recording either, just two cd releases.... As an aside for any Motown release you should check the web Site Don't Forget The Motor City great site full of info. That'll Be The Day (Henry Cosby-William Stevenson-Sylvia Moy) publ. Jobete The Temptations; rec 10-Jun-65 ; [lead - David Ruffin] ; produced by William Stevenson, Henry Cosby 28-Sep-99; CD (M): Motown 153 366 2 You've Got To Earn it 05-Feb-01; CD (M): Spectrum 544 426 2 Tamla Motown Connoisseurs [ UK ]

bloody hell, can't say I've been looking, last one I took any notice of was around a couple of years ago was for £300/£350...on here I think.

TOMMY TURNER - LAZY - ELBAM - TOMMY TURNER - LADY - ELBAM - TOMMY TURNER - I'LL BE GONE - ELBAM - Lazy as said the expensive one, about £300, Lady about £30.

just what is an ensolid?

I thought it was late 80's when these turned up....were they pressed by the label owner or relative of the owner?

you might have heard Andy Dyson spin it?

something slower it could be Jackie Beavers - I Can't Stop Loving You, Groovesville acetate played by Andy Dyson, although not high pitched male vocal

Although it's not a ballad, more mid tempo, from the title alone you mention not the Conquistadors - I can't stop loving you.?

It could well be the reason stated but if I remember rightly I got the track off a tape sold by John Manship, as I'm sure many others bought it at the time....if the track had been given to me in trust it wouldn't have been posted but it wasn't.

Think there are two other unissued from around the same time and all three are available on the Uplook Story from Grapevine. I can remember Andy Dyson getting the You Got Love from US to play out about ten years ago along with some unissued (at the time) Ronnie Walker tracks.
