Tams - What Kind Of Fool, On Uk Probe
The labels are identical, but the run-out grooves differ. The original version has "YPRO 542 A-2", the newer version has "YPRO 542 A-1" Cheers Nick

Tams - What Kind Of Fool, On Uk Probe
I have 2 copies of the Tams "What kind of fool do you think I am", on UK Probe. Both have identical labels, but they're totally different recordings. One is the original 60s version (same as the HMV release), the other sounds like a 70s remake or remix. The run-out groove numbers are different. The same differences apply to the B side too. Anyone any idea how or why these 2 versions were put out?

Soul Bible Chapter One - Uk Probe Lp
The Tyrone Davis track is the original, pre-Dakar version of "Can I change my mind" - probably the only way it got a UK release

Rare Breed - The Magic In You - Mgm
I'd had one in my sales box for a decade or more, sold it last year for a fiver. There's a great version by Steam, on the flip of "Na-na-hey-hey", was a big spin in my youth club days Cheers Nick

Scheduled For Uk Release
Paul Pelletier's Stateside book says that Jimmy Radcliffe's "My ship is coming in" was scheduled as SS 475, the number eventually given to Betty Harris - "What a sad feeling/I'm evil tonight". Does anyone know what titles were planned for the 2 missing black Chess numbers? Cheers Nick

Albert Washington - Loosen These Pains
Cheers Crumb, didn't know that. Just checked the R&B Indies book, seems M. in the Street was from Cincinatti. Still don't know which release was first - I guess you'd assume Jewel came later
-
Albert Washington - Loosen These Pains
I have Albert Washington's "Loosen these pains and let me go/Go on and help yourself" on two labels - Jewel 822 and M.In the Street M.I.T.S. 1. Does anyone know which of these came first, or anything about the M. In the Street label? Cheers Nick

Lost Soul Oldies Vol 10 Cd
Can anyone help identify a track on this CD which isn't included in the track listing? It comes between track 13 (Delighters - "Music Revolution") and the track listed as 14 (but really 15!) - Hearts of Stone - "Yesterday's love is over" It's a nice track, I feel I should know it, and it's driving me mad. Cheers Nick

Lost Soul Oldies Vol 10
I've just listened to the CD "Lost Soul Oldies vol 10", and find that there's a track not included in the track listing in the packaging. It comes at track 14, between Delighters - "Music revolution", and Hearts of Stone - "Yesterday's love is over" (which is listed as track 14, but is actually 15). Does anyone know what this track is - it's great, I feel I should know it, it's driving me mad! Nick

Temptations - I Guess I'll Always Love You?
Thanks for that, I'll have a listen, but I suspect it's really someone got their Isley and Temps mixed up. Cheers Nick

Temptations - I Guess I'll Always Love You?
What a great site, I didn't know about it, thanks for that. I'm also fairly sure it's a mistake, but I wondered if there's an an unreleased Temptations version knocking about, which might not show up on DFTMC. Anyone know?

Temptations - I Guess I'll Always Love You?
I've had a request to play "I guess I'll always love you" by the Temptations - is there a version by them I've overlooked (and if so, what album/CD?), or is it a mistake?

Pic & Bill On Page One
Looking through my Pic & Bill tunes (well, I was having a day off work) I noticed that "This is it", on UK Page One, says "Rhythm & Blues Series" on the label. Does anyone know if there are any other records in this series, or was it one of those ideas that was never followed up? Cheers Nick

Kim Weston On Volt/mikim
Just played Kim Weston's "Gonna be alright" and noticed that although the label design is a typical Volt label, the record number (MIA 1502) is that given in the Mikim discography. Anyone know anything about this? Cheers Nick
