All the 7" singles for sale on Discogs total just over 1 Million 396000 for sale in the USA 353000 for sale in the UK The rest of the world makes up the other 300000 Interesting that, I thought

How can someone put $5 on a customs declaration for a $4800 record that is bonkers and would not be insured and is potential Tax Evasion (even though we don't like it) Why should the seller care about UK taxes that we have to pay ?

I have also noticed a few dealers are starting to add "make on offer" to their sales to facilitate the VAT costs

Wonderful Article and thanks for posting The Mints were mentioned and I wonder if it is The Four Mints (Capsoul) ?

However the brains on here have now questioned and resulted in fact being fiction and all those mentions on the internet may be corrected at some stage, nice one 🤗

Has this one sold?

I also found this quote from Bert Brrns CD Rare Gems Vol. 1 "Released on the Laurie Records label in 1960, Austin Taylor’s “Push Push” is one of the first records made by Bert Berns, and is clear evidence of Berns’ early affinity for the music of Cuba. The Caribbean-influenced recording was Berns’ first (and Taylor’s only) hit record, and gave clue to the direction Bert Berns would take in the years to come. Born on February 16, 1934 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, Austin Taylor lifted Berns’ recording with his stratospheric vocal. But as Berns and Taylor went separate ways, Austin Taylor failed to ever chart again." Photo from CD below http://bertberns.com/album/rare-gems-vol-1-male-vocalists/

This is Austin

These are so retro

The web is full of falsehoods, I guess like I make mistakes all the time it is easy to do, unless it's not a mistake ? https://secondhandsongs.com/artist/11532 https://soulbluesmusic.com/tedtaylor.htm

I guess I got mixed up with the New York thing.......sorry

Zelma Sanders was behind this, she wrote the flip and owned the label

I agree great tune Person to ask is Ady Croasdell "on here" as he will know

I am sorry if this has been covered before Are there 2 groups ? one being Sari & The Shalimars which Manship (You Tube) says is "A 3 girl New Jersey group consisting of Sarah Sari Green, Pearl Richardson (who one lead the KODAKS) & Bunny Perritt" 1966 The other being The Shalimars "Stop and Take a Look at Yourself" which Rate Your Music has as "The Shalimars consisted of Sandi Ballant (vocals), Carolyn Berner (vocals) and Dorna Kiepke (vocals)." 1968 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/the_shalimars/i_love_the_way_he_calls_me_baby___stop_and_take_a_look_at_yourself/

Please to remember that Berry Gordy hated "Do I love You" and look what happened

These DJ's will have to do some serious amount of spots to get anywhere near there money back

Here is where I read about The Primettes With Barbara Diane Martin as their new fourth, "The Primettes" returned to Motown on a regular basis, constantly waiting for their chance at fame. They would catch the bus every day and hang around the offices admiring their more-established future label-mates recording and walking through the lobby. On several occasions they were lucky enough to be permitted to perform hand-claps, foot-stomps, and even background vocals for other artists such as Mabel John, and Mary Wells. Berry Gordy finally signed the group to Motown in 1961, however not as "The Primettes." He requested that they find a new name for themselves as no one even knew what a "Primette" was. Florence Ballard was given a list of names to choose from that included such monikers as "The Sweet P's," "The Jewelettes," "The Darleens," and "The Supremes" among others. She chose the name "Supremes" because it was different, and didn't have an "ettes" at the end of it. Initially her group-mates were keen on the idea of being called "The Supremes" as they thought it sounded too masculine (a male group from the 50's had been named "The Supremes" and Ruby & The Romantics (featuring three male vocalists) had been called "The Supremes" as well.) However, despite their disappointment, the girls began recording a variety of songs by producers such as Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy. A handful of these tracks would eventually make up The Supremes' first album, 1962's "Meet The Supremes." However, The Supremes that appeared on the cover of the LP was a trio as Martin left in the spring of 1962. As you state thing get forgotten twisted even lied about over time so who knows https://thesupremes.fandom.com/wiki/The_Primettes

I understood (read somewhere) The Primates changed name in 1961 to The Supremes when Berry signed them

I assume the confusion comes from the CD ? And then this Pickett’s debut, solo, 45 “Let Me Be Your Boy”, recorded in 1961 and released in March 1962 on the Detroit Correc-Tone label. It was pressed at Columbia’s Chicago plant alongside Motown labels Miracle, Gordy and Tamla which is quite fitting since the Supremes can be heard on backing vocals. “Let Me Be Your Boy” was subsequently released on the Cub label for wider distribution before eventually being acquired by Verve in ’66 who also gave it a UK release on their MGM imprint.

There seem to be too many Johnsons now I think Bill is different to Larry I found this connected to Roscoe Weathers and I quote "A Blues Boy Bill Johnson co-written high pitched tin whistle number, or piccolo for those than can distinguish, together with Cuban rhythms give us one of the winning numbers." https://ukvibe.org/album_reviews/roscoe-weathers/
