Anoraks Corner

According to the Verve files, he recorded this at the same session as 'Look at Granny run run'...though it first appeared on Jerry Ragavoy's Utopia label backed by the superb, 'She's Looking Good'. However, the takes sound the same...hmmm odd.

Scorching Soul...recommended!

Hang on, you told me they were only worth £50 a piece when you bought them from me!

Please note: most demo copies of this number are double-sided and don't feature this track.

Yes, it finaly made it onto CD in 2007...I know as I co-wrote the sleeve notes! (POKER Label - DECKCD100) Here is my WD (mono) of the LP...and the CD....and a red label stock copy (stereo).

Agree with that one plus add their version of 'I Keep Forgettin' ', which has the typical full Spector production behind it. Here they are in all their Japanese glory!

This picture is the lower right hand side portion of the Sing label LP front cover. Sing was a label concentrating on King (geddit!?) family label product. There were about x100 titles released in all (distributed via Charly Records), often with duplicate original sleeves...though there wasn't one available for the Tiny Topsy album compilation.

Superb. Well written. Now, do the instrumental takes still exist?!

Carla, then Karen...then Bettye Lavette.

Don't think I've ever seen a proper blue labelled demo of any M-S number...apart from one's with a promo sticker.

The flip to the Karen 45 isn't too shabby either, 'Don't sign the paper'. Here's the WD currently within my sales pages.

Title: little frankie lee - don't make me cry - the great scott Artist: little frankie lee Track: don't make me cry Label: the great scott Info: this is the rarer local label before it was re-recorded for peacock. this also happens to be a far superior version...much smoother...well worth checking out.

'Awesome' is an understatement! Every home shoud have one and every Soul night should feature it.

Nowp, that's a Phillie label.

Here is a fine pair of Chicago Soul movers, both from the J.V. label (were there any other releases on this label?) The Magnetics is a super-Soulful dancer highlighting Johnny McKinney's sweet vocal, whilst the Frank Butler is an R'n'B style mover with groovy organ-work (also issued on the more common Ra-Bra label). Magnetics = £75 Frank Butler = £30 Both are in near mint condition...labels/vinyl. (Courier postage = £5 per parcel; UK cheque or bank transfer only...no Paypal)

Adding one more scan...another classy, sophisticated and super-clean production...dare I say cross-over heaven?! I have a strong vg+ copy (pictured) that plays with no problems both sides and deserves a home where it is appreciated...for a mere £25 on my site.

'David & Giants' plus the 'Oracles' have me stumped at present.

Mmmm...I have the Freddy Butler version down as 'Ed Wingate'.

Fabulous track...one of my early purchases and loved it ever since. I would scan the Japanese pic cover, but it sports a blonde female model rather than Marvin!

I'm rather partial to this Gene Chandler release: 'Baby That's Love'/'Fool For You'. Here are the stock and WD copies...mmmmmm WDs!

Aaaaaaaaaarigato gozaimasu! Debbie Taylor Hesitations Persians

Note I: there are two label designs for this one...both plain red with black text, but one has a logo on as well. Note II: their other track on the green Rapda label is pants (from a Northern point of view).

Spotted one on the shelf already over here...had to pick it up to see which label it was on and was surprised/pleased to see it was Ace!

Thanks for posting that Pete...genuinely enjoyed watching it...maybe others may wish to do a similar thing with their DJ box/selection?
