100% I sold my O'Jays to Jonathan Woodliffe who could never get a 12" demo (Don't think they exist)

Messaged you

3 of the "Demand" bootlegs have just sold recently on Ebay for around £50. They must be quite rare

Is there an "H" stamp in the deadwax (Hollywood) pressing

This image from 45cat, posted recently a poor image of Terri and a post from 1998 about Ralonzo https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-nov-04-me-39251-story.html

Might or might not help but according to Discogs original is 1304-01-A 3018 ∫∫ matrix, so mastered at Sound Studios, Chicago. If it is a boot it would be hard to replicate ?

I have just heard a report that James McEachin passed last night, RIHP "Silver Star, Purple Heart veteran of the Korean War, an accomplished actor, and an award-winning author. Known as "Jimmy Mack" in the music industry, McEachin was a producer, songwriter, and eventually owner of the record label Mack IV"

This could be a new one

Never seen one

DJ is white Karl

The DJ Copies had the distribution as well. I always wondered where the Limelight releases fitted in. but I guess Bob let Mercury have it ?

I checked through Bill Dahl's interview with Bubba in 2020 and I can't see it mentioned, perhaps someone can contact Bill to ask the question. https://www.sunsetblvdrecords.com/blog/2020/10/20/gladys-knight-amp-the-pips-essential-1961-1965

Looks like the "threat" of legal consequences also meant that David Ruffin's LP ( all 25 different releases) "My Whole World Ended" are blocked from sale too as Al wrote "Message From Maria".

I never knew Jimmy Radcliffe was backing vocals. Cool

She didn't threaten Ebay though. One sold in August.

This is all I have and ever will, me thinks Rick, the sleeve reverse tells us very little, but some stuff at least

No mention of here being Cholli here Joyce Harris was born in Kentucky in 1939 and moved to New Orleans with her family when she was 13 years old. Harris learned to play guitar, write songs and was soon performing duets with her younger sister Judy. They released three singles – ‘He’s The One’ / ‘Hey Pretty Baby’, ‘Washboard Sam’ / ‘Nursery Rock (Beedle De Bop)’ and ‘Hey Little Baby’/ ‘Rock And Roll Kittens’ – as Judy and Joyce in 1958. When her sister got married, Harris spent a year singing in restaurants in Mexico and a first solo single ‘It’s You’ / ‘The Boy In School’ was released on New York’s U.T. Records at the end of 1959. A talent spotter saw her in Mexico and was impressed enough to secure her an audition with the Austin, Texas-based Domino label. Harris was soon in the studio with Tommy Kaspar and Don Burch of Domino’s vocal quartet, the Slades, to record ‘I Cheated’ / ‘Do You Know What It’s Like To Be Lonesome?’ (R-903) in October 1960. ‘No Way Out’ / ‘Dreamer’ (R-905) followed in January 1961 and sold strongly enough to be licensed to Infinity Records. On 7 April 1961, Harris performed ‘No Way Out’ live on TV on American Bandstand. Three more singles would be issued on different labels between 1963 and 1966. https://acerecords.co.uk/joyce-harris

I have been trying to find out more about Allan but no real clues as to what happened to him Rick or who he was. Some people just stop it seems and never record again

As you hopefully know, as with so many backing recordings that Elsie and the girls (and boys) did, they often did not come in contact with the main vocalists as recordings were done separately. I asked Elsie ages ago the exact same question about Jimmy Mack and glad you have confirmed what she told me (I had forgotten with all the stuff she filled me in on). My "Baby Doll" could write a book about the 100's if not 1000's of backings they did.

Some concert it was with a superb group of artists

When I asked Curtis Rogers (People's Choice) I was hoping, but of course he had no idea, why would he.

Mike Terry arranged Jimmy and People's Choice both May, 1967. Shame no one knows and goodness knows I and others have tried. I think it's a long gone ask, but here's hoping.

Now we know where the cellar was exactly and what it looked like
