This may help if they are still around and what a great story and they did some very "non Soul" stuff https://www.soundonsound.com/people/sire-records-story And this suggest Doris Again on another release same group https://funky16corners.com/?p=459 http://www.45cat.com/artist/the-uptights

I did wonder if she was the same lady (connection with style/styl-etts) as she worked for Berry, her name could have been the one "used" for credits as suggested previously and I forgot to post the link (which I have now done. It all could be coincidence of course,, but life is full of them, as we all know

"Hello My Darling" was June 1962 and Dorothy (RIP) was known at Motown as the "Epitome of style" (wonder if that's where the Sty-letts name came from). After leaving Motown, she worked for Amtrak for 28 years. https://www.pyefuneralhome.com/obituaries/Dorothy-Pierce-2/#!/Obituary I don't think she was Brian's Mother-in-law Dorothy Lee Carter, (born, October 8, 1943 - died, May 14, 2015

I keep going back to this label and after some searching found out that Maxine (RIP) was Florence Ballard's sister (I do apologise if I missed it) and wrote the book about her. There is so much more to tell me thinks

Does anyone know who Tony and Bill are/were please ?

Indeed

If as we suspect the Smith sisters and Pat Charles were on vocals, IMHO Mrs Freeburg told them probably not to perform anymore and apart from penning another tune , that was that, thanks goodness. Terrible record

Well spotted I have corrected it , thanks

I have "Never More" on Penny. The Reverse is blank white and states in red print "DO NOT PLAY THIS SIDE" (Top half label) "THIS IS A SILENT GROOVE TO IMPROVE THE MOLDING OF YOU PRESSING" (bottom half label) Side A runout is etched 106 A L, then a stamp which is a small 8 (shape) on it's side Like some info if anyone knows please

Blimey Where is that skip ?

That is such a shame now you need to use other routes such as Facebook and associates perhaps (This maybe another person with the same name in Barrow)

I was looking at this amazing record and came across a couple of comments after Manship's auction last year https://soulstrutter.blogspot.com/2020/07/sam-moore-1970-plenty-good-lovin.html UPDATE 30th June 2020 - This record (M-) was auctioned by John Manship on 29th Jul 2020 and sold for £2,215! This is John's review: "The very rarest Atlantic Soul 45 by quite some distance and it is utterly BRILLIANT! Way beyond rare! Initially thought to be unreleased, with promo only "Tennessee Waltz" mono / stereo both sides being pressed. Recorded at Muscle Shoals 1970 by three of the studios stalwarts Dave Crawford, Brad Shapiro and Wade Marcus. As Muscle Shoals Alabama leaves the 60's decade with Sam Moore at the mike and these three virtuoso's constructing the most perfect Northern Soul dancer featuring the hints of the 70's Soul this legendary studio were about to create. Is it me or would the fact that it was pressed 3 times Plastic Products (PL) Monarch Record Manufacturing (MO) and Specialty Records Corporation (SP) make the statement a little odd ? That's Memphis, Philly and California

They were both on popsike so someone got 2 bargains a couple of years ago

Around £250

Around £200 if Ex (at least 2 copies sold in 2018/9)

Thanks I have just had 1000 records "dumped" in my lap so will send it to auction with the other stuff

I have seen plenty of WLP's is this a rarity please ?

So the Yanks are expensive as well as UK dealers

I think if you upload the images to the Royal Mail even the most lacking will see Use the tracking (Post Office) and print and copy that as well Oh and the last bit, ring them and speak to someone, it should help your claim remembering they don't cover the postage costs Using F&F is a nightmare in these circumstances

Just fill in the Post Office claim form and it will save you going to court and £35 https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19907/~/how-do-i-submit-a-claim-for-loss%2C-damage-or-delay-to-my-item%3F

To be fair I have had much better packaging damaged, it's the lack of communication that is messing this up and you never know he might be ill 😇

Sorry I just edited my post YOU CAN CLAIM if you are in the UK (see my edit)

His Postal address is on the front of the package 32.....LA14 3YP Quick google and <edited due to privacy issues> And after all this and I hope you are in the UK as well as this puts you in a very much stronger position as UK Sellers OR Buyers can claim through Royal Mail https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19907/~/how-do-i-submit-a-claim-for-loss%2C-damage-or-delay-to-my-item%3F Let me know how you get on and if it works you owe me an ice cream
