yes Mike, perhaps the duplication/flurry has skewed it for me. I'm not suggesting any of the result topics are dropped. Its my observation of how this part of Northern Soul has developed. Don't get me wrong i also have posted Auction results. It's not just the results that get posted though, it's the is it/isn't value discussions too. my post also stemmed from the likes of posts such as "Is Northern Soul in good hands, etc", on the basis some might think it's all about the price you pay. Which i don't remember it being so in the past.

I get folks want to know what prices records sell for via auctions. Especially perhaps collectors, sellers OR those that have the record in their collection that is being auctioned and therefore want to know if it has “ gained” or not…but it feels to me like it is becoming a subject epidemic.

Chuck Bridges...i gues your thinking of the Karate guy 😉🤣

the chorus sections sound like the arrangement on Crown Heights Affair, Tell Me You Love MePhil Thomas, WIlliam Anderson, Ray Reid. but maybe you already knew this? Perhaps there are other versions?

You could get the train to squires gate rail station ( from Manchester), and stay at pontins with mates bunking up.

i understood that some had numbers in the clock face and some didn't. both pukka. i also understood that the one that without numbers in the clockface reas Moaning Growing AND Crying on the B-side instead of &. I didn't think it had ever been booted... that's not to say there isn't a hooky counterfeit or two about.

I’m no expert on deadwax, label revisions, bootleg, etc…but I guess you have info that supports the fact you have the original ( and that “the suspect one” you show perhaps isn’t)? i.e which is original, are they both original, is “ yours” ?

Publishers can collect royalties, usually on behalf of the songwriter(s), so Lovenote Pub may have done this ( past, now or future). There may also be a copyright (perhaps a master recording copyright, usually owned by the artist) and there's the composition which may be copyright protected usally by the songwriter or publisher. Needless to say @Woodbutcher is right, with our 45's royalties or other payments are likely to amount to bugger all.

around the time of this recording, Mike Dorrough worked ( as an engineer) at a studio owned by Casey Kasem & Bob Hudson ( Radio guys in Hollywood). Mike did stuff for the Beach Boys, The impressions, etc. @Robbk He went to Motown. Mike was a bit of an audio guru, and invented the Dorrough Audio processor along with a bunch of other devices. I think he went on to own Audio Craft Industries (about late 60's-early 70's). Mike was so good that he either deliberatly engineered it to sound like it does or more likely it was perhaps done in the tiny, sparsley equipped Kasem studio.

R.I.P Jerry.

i don't know why, or where i got this name from, but i started to think of Travis Hall. Hope i'm not sending you down a rat hole.

coincidentally...i was reading a 45cat post yesterday that said "Joe Hunter arranged a trip (for Andantes) to Chicago to work on a session with Jerry Butler" on "Just A Little Bit". That release was 1963 on VeeJay. You may already know this of-course, but just in case, thought it may help.

Stanley & his younger brother Alexander also ran Mark Record Inc (the plant Roburt refers to as Mob connected).

Blimey…it’s turned into the Spanish Inquisition. John had a half price sale. That’s it. We’ll done him.

I'm sure someone will get you sorted out with a ticket. especially those originals reading your post. good luck

thanks, yes i can export to xls, but i've built queries etc in access. e.g. search, and so on

cheers, i'll take a look cheers. do they do an access db softkey?

thanks, I'll have to keep re-reading it...but i think that wouldn't work for me. I can get to the "run-time of my Access" i.e rows and columns, but i can't get to edit, add, move. Mine 'pops up' with buy the Access Key (licence).

i have my record collection on an access database. label, artist, writers, dates, etc etc. I've had to replace my P.C and didn't realise the Windows licences bundle ( i purchased) didn't have an Access license. I know i could buy a stand-alone Access licence or get 365...but wondered if anyone had any legal work-around solution/advice? TIA ken

he'll be missed. RIP

I assume a “naughty stick” means ‘someone might be missing out’ with regards to revenue? Or am I wrong ?

an update: The Fendermen were originally from Canada (Edmonton) but turned up in a variety of U.S. places, making them hard to track down. Anyhow, they added a girl singer Mary Keith and here they are at one of their gigs at Club Gi-Gi 8030 West Ogden, in july 1968.

This Acetate is almost certainly attributable to Frank Werber (started his road to fame as the Kingston Trio manager). He had a recording studio in the basement of Columbus Tower 916 Kearny, ( as well as a penthouse office on the 8th or 9th). His first waxing in 1965 was with We Five https://www.45cat.com/record/770. A very wealthy man, who had many businesses.
