Same credits on the WD...mmmmmm WD Must admit, I find that mistakes with spelling/credits usually happen on the picture sleeves, but not on the labels, when it comes to Japanese presses.

I sold a WD last year for £25...they're also both on his fab LP on Vault...that also features an album only track, 'Head over heels', which is an excellent cross-over finger-snapper monster in the waiting (£40 if you want it!?).

Interesting. The pressing plant is Rainbo (the machine stamped, 'R'), which is a West Coast, although the font and layout looks more like a Mid-West or East Coast press. The Chips sticker would also point towards the East (Phillie).

Has his, 'Love Power' track on Motown ever received scene spins...quite a pleasant mover.

Dottie Cambridge aka Dorothy Moore of The Poppies...here is an acetate I have by her, albeit the scan doens't bring out the typed artist/title too well...good danceable Northern both sides...and both unissued.

The New Sounds LP on Turbo...as produced by George Kerr.

A nice pair of Carl Carlton stock copies: 'I Can Feel it' and 'Competition Ain't Nothing'...both for sale!

Nice, though I say it my self.

My fave version of this much covered Motown song...nice'n'rare WD copy...mmmm!

Quite Northern sounding dancer...from the TV series, 'Ironside' Edit: just spotted it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UuogM8_iukE

I can't believe no ones put this stomper up yet...liberated from a Japanese store this past weekend! I may consider sensible trades on this one

Quite simply one of the best value for money, uptempo, storming, stomping, agro-Soul, in yer face thumpers there is! No smiling allowed when you dance to this one!

The yellow one is the West Coast press on styrene and is also on a WD variant as well.

Yup, a few surfaced over here as well...here's one of my faves from the short-lived 'Buddah R&B Series':

https://youtu.be/aFK5vRTbPyI Shame he is lip-syncing Must admit Emanuel seems to have a higher/sweeter vocal style than the vocal performance on YGEFM?

'Hope We have' ...Japanese style!

One of my favourite male-group-harmony tracks...ever...sublime!

Not bootlegged as far as I'm aware Yes, there are several different designs for the Alteen label...but...only one for this release number...looks like this:

I have a 10" acetate of the 'Del Capris' with the proper RCA label.

Yep, mono/stereo and good quality print...sold one yesterday!!

I played this at the collector's doo last night...which went down well and put smiles on faces

Over-looked cracking NS dancer

That is correct. Sadly the Japanese MGM 7" of ICMIA only has 'Stand By Me' on the flipside...has a nice pic cover mind

The later release on US MGM of 'I Can't Make It Anymore' has 'I'm Alive With A Loving Feeling' on the flip. It is rare, even though yes it is a reissue! Manship auctioned a copy last year...it didn't go for anywhere near the book value (which reflects its rarity, one could say?) Yes, IAWALF also came out on the 4 track French EP and US MGM LP...not seen a UK 7" of it mind...would love to if it exists!
