New Release By The Jaggerz
This is not half bad. Good to hear this kind of music being made in 2014! https://www.reverbnation.com/thejaggerz/song/19958970-the-walk Soul music legends Gamble and Huff of Philadelphia International Records discovered, signed, and produced the blue eye soul group the Jaggerz releasing their first album "Introducing the Jaggerz" in 1969. The Jaggerz went on to score a Number 1 U.S hit with "The Rapper" that continues to be played on radio stations daily and is included on dozens of compilation albums. The Jaggerz have just released a new soulful single "The Walk". It has a tuneful melody backed by the Jaggerz rich harmonies. The Walk is receiving airplay on several radio stations in Western Pa and other stations across the country. Pittsburgh area stations playing "The Walk" include 107.1 WHJB, 1450 WDAD and 103.3 WKQL, 1160 WCCS, and 770 WKBF. The WYEP-FM Soul Show will premiere The Walk this week. The Jaggerz are a blue-eye soul band known for their rich vocals and soulful grooves. The legendary Philadelphia International team of Gamble and Huff produced the Jaggerz first album ‘Introducing the Jaggerz" in 1969. it’s an R&B classic featuring Jimmie Ross singing the Steals Brothers “Gotta Find My Way Back Home”. (The Steals Brother later wrote “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love” for the Spinners). The album as features the cuts “That Why (Baby I Love You)” and “Together”. All Music Guide praises the album: “Steeped in R&B, The Jaggerz are absolutely thrilling”.

Ovo Debate - The Motown 7S Box Set
I refer the honourable gentleman to my previous answer. many tracks were first released on an album, and then had a release on a 45. using that logic, the Spinners, Isleys tracks etc are OK to play out. the Frank Wilson (whilst still a bona fide release) isn't as OK to play out, as a legitimate 45 release pre-dates it. Let's not forget many original british releases even in the 60's were often several years after the US release, and were released only to cater for demand spawned by the embryonic soul scene.

Ovo Debate - The Motown 7S Box Set
Many records are only released years after they were recorded. OVO does not require contemporaneity, simply the fact that it is a legitimately licensed release.

Ovo Debate - The Motown 7S Box Set
My thoughts: Marvin Gaye "Love Starved' : the original release being the limited picture sleeve promotional 7" issue from 1994. The box set single is the first legitimate UK 7" release Spinners "What More" : the original release being on the From The Vaults LP 1979. The box set single is the first legitimate UK 7" release Barbara McNair "It Happens Everytime" : the original release being from the Real Barbara McNair LP 1968 . The box set single is the first legitimate UK 7" release Isley Brothers "My Love" : originally released on Music For Pleasure LP early 70's. The box set single is the first legitimate UK 7" release Frank Wilson "Do I Love You" : obviously two known Soul original 45s , otherwise the first UK issue from the late 70's. - Agreed Originals "Suspicion" : a few original acetates known to exist, otherwise the first legitimate 7" 45 release of this would appear to be the Stardust issue unless one is of the view that some or all of the Stardust releases are not legitimately licensed? The box set single is the first legitimate UK 7" release. The Stardust release is illegitimate

The Motown 7S Box Set: Rare And Unused
Just received my final 2 box sets (from Universal) and one is OK, the other has 2 x Barbara McNair's. I called their customer service, they say they are aware of the problem and they have promised to send out the missing sungle (Marvin Gaye).

John Manship's Tease Auction
Don't see what all the fuss is about. Records should be black, end of. Coloured vinyl should be strictly reserved for all them shite pop tunes from the 70's that came out on coloured vinyl. It's much harder to check condition on anything other than black as well.

Invictus-Hot Wax-Music Merchant Unreleased And Acetate Stuff
Yep. They all came from a find at Bob Mays in Detroit in '91. Me and a mate got the lot, about 300 or so at 3 for a $. We didn't realise there was unreleased stuff until much later. My mate offloaded most of his to Pat.

Invictus-Hot Wax-Music Merchant Unreleased And Acetate Stuff
I don't think it does. Because one of the test presses I have of "Bright City Lights" has the release no on it that was scheduled for Lee Charles. I actually thought it WAS Lee Charles for a long time

Invictus-Hot Wax-Music Merchant Unreleased And Acetate Stuff
I have 2 copies of that too, but I am convinced its Eloise Laws. You may ask why? The reason being that one of them is a double sider with her favourite B Side - "Stay With Me"

They should have bought earlier, or buy one now. I bought one off Amazon, One off here, One off Soulbrother and 3 off Universal

The Motown 7S Box Set: Rare And Unused
The only "problem" with this box set is that the labels just don't look good enough IMO. The definition and resolution of the Tamla Motown logo is not as good as it could be. Looks like a repro of a scan of the logo
