    From the Funky16Corners website:-

     

    "Written by Frank Wilson (the man that brought you ‘Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)’), ‘Somebody (Somewhere) Needs You’ was also recorded by Darrell Banks (Revilot 1966).

    The backing track from the Ike and Tina version was recycled several times.

    First as Larry Laster’s ‘Go For Yourself’ (with new lyrics by, and credited to Leon Sylvers) on Loma in 1966, a year later by Herb and Doris on the HIP label, as ‘Lighten Up’ by Larry Atkins on the Highland label, and by Ty Karim as ‘Lighten Up Baby’ on Car-A-Mel!

    Interestingly enough, the Darrell Banks recording uses a completely different track/arrangement."

     

    So it looks like Herb and Doris was a 1967 release..

    I thought that Bobby Angelle would have gone for a lot more, particularly following it's recent use in a cereal commercial.. not sure the shredded wheat sales pitch did much for the auction price :)

    I suppose the fact that it's recently been reissued on a Kent 45 may have lessened the demand for it.. always had a soft spot for this tune :thumbsup:

    What isn't mentioned in John's blurb and a possible reason for the track not being as big as it should be, is the fact that the sound quality of the issues is crap and the rarer demos as sold here, is good

     

    Wasn't aware of that Baz, thank goodness I have a nice minty white demo and not the blue issue then :)

    There's no boot of Mamie Galore

     

    So what about Johnny Sayles on St Lawrence. I've got a copy with no address at the bottom and I always thought the original's should have Distributed by Chess at the bottom?? It seems strange that they would bootleg this and make everything on the label identical apart from the address... :g:

     

    actually after writing this, I've just noticed on the Mamie Galore label variations that on the pink issues where the "distributed by..." is missing on the bottom, that the address appears at the top under the St Lawrence logo...  not the case with the Johnny Sayles, so probably a boot after all!
