This article was never replied to and I think it should be re-visited (hopefully), The Cashmeres here are from Brooklyn and appear not to be connected at all https://doo-wop.blogg.org/the-cashmeres-2-a116517972

Common in normal times, I am sorry to say, items get put in wrong sack and often travel round the world Ironically it's up to the postal service that received it by mistake to "hopefully" re-direct it, so breath a sigh of relief

The top one is from a well known bootlegger (on Discogs) that has been mentioned before and I doubt you will get a straight answer but here's hoping 😇

Just to add to this there is a great article here with Discography https://motownjunkies.co.uk/labels/miracle/

I do like this article https://shapingageneration.co.uk/who-were-the-mods/

Have found MP3 of version if someone wants it

Nuff said

Stuart Cosgrove mentions Samar in his book https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=x-tmDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT51&lpg=PT51&dq=samar+recording+rochester&source=bl&ots=PsdQ57TTd7&sig=ACfU3U0LC7hG-z_TsvlULsLY8GsMo6t2Iw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi_4tzC26npAhWAShUIHYD_DBAQ6AEwAHoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=samar recording rochester&f=false

I assume then that the label design changed (and numbering) https://www.discogs.com/label/596823-Vest-Records-2 https://www.discogs.com/label/188195-Vest

This is the live version from the LP, and UK release is different studio version, I think, credits are possibly wrong.....🤨 interesting though to be credited to Bobby Marchan

How very dare you, my wife won't let me have that type of breakfast

I don't mind posting it, I have had my breakfast. It reminds me of those New faces 1970's singers we used to have appear in the Tower Town (perhaps that influenced Ian) (no offence meant it's just my opinion), O dear, woe is me ! Please please wait for the B side it gets "better ?" I had never heard it and will go back to bed and re-surface later

According to the you tube video it's an acetate "Gordy" but what do I know

Can you post separate thread 😢 with details, that is so sad

RIP, one of the first records I ever danced to

I need to get my eyes tested after lockdown, sorry

I seem to remember that Marty Cantine was connected with Eddie Drennon and I am sure he had a label "Marti"

Seems unusual that it's not stamped archer, however I still think the carver will be non etched (anything) carver

Tracy and Sandy, used on all The Linda Jones Loma / Warner stuff

Can you read the etchings ?

I am guessing that the matrix details are in the wax on your copy (stamped or etched) and I doubt very much a carver would have any matricies at all and the run out "distance" to the label would be different ?

Hillard "Sweet Pea" Atkinson (born c. 1945 - died May 5, 2020) known as one of the vocalists for the band Was (Not Was). In 1982, shortly after the release of the first Was (Not Was) album, he recorded and released his first solo album, Don't Walk Away. The album was co-produced by Was (Not Was) members David Weiss and Donald Fagenson, also known as the Was Brothers. In 1997, along with Kris Kristofferson, Atkinson starred in a 15-minute short film included on Don Was' album Forever’s a Long, Long Time, which Was released under the alias Orquestra Was. Atkinson also performed as lead vocalist on most of the songs on the album, on which Was interprets songs by Hank Williams. Atkinson later joined forces with Blues guitarist Randy Jacobs - also a longtime Was (Not Was) session guitarist who co-wrote the band's most successful hit, "Walk the Dinosaur" - in a band called the Boneshakers; together they released three albums. Two of those were studio recordings: Book of Spells in 1997 on Point Blank Records, and Shake the Planet in 1999, also on Point Blank Records. The third album that they cut together is a live album, Live in Seattle, with the groovy saxophonist Mindi Abair. It was released on Concord Records. Two more albums were credited to Mindi Abair and the Boneshakers: The EastWest Sessions (2017) and All I Got for Christmas Is the Blues (2018). One of the nice tunes and another sad loss

That's definitely Sam, It's nice enough and there are so many Sam Fans, so I guess it will be a good seller I have an acetate of Right In The Middle Of Falling In Love (Betty Lavette, Solaris) by Sam on Unichappel (but it's not in brilliant nick)
