George Mitchell - Mr Teardrop(s) Cheers Mick

Not really used as stiffners, but I did once have a bunch of records used for packing. All green RCA line dance records. so no bargain for me.

A typical parcel from US to UK would be around $14 (that was a thick one - about 30mm - with lots of packing). Can't find on now, but a thinner parcel is a bit less. Sellers generally charge $12 - $15, which lines up with above, plus a little for the package. Cheers Mick

Yes, that's the first release

I think JM had one a few years back on auction, but it may have been Argentinian - I seem to think it was a different colour to yours.

To the "Licensed Exclusively to Soul Galore Productions" add . . . ASHFORD ASH 1001 LORRAINE CHANDLER – I CAN'T CHANGE / WHAT CAN I DO

Here's LC version . . . Cheers Mick

The Tami Lynn / Polydor is an Irish release, and shares the same release number as UK Mojo

I know it#s not much help to you, but it is listed here . . . https://www.globaldogproductions.info/m/maurci.html

Could be - Think I remember another track by Harry Betts played, might have been the B side, again, as you say, probably a mistake. Thinking about it, they are probably forgotten, but hardly monsters. Cheers Mick

I think I only heard this played once, so probably forgotten.

Almost exactly the same for me - If it's Ok with you, I'll just change a few words and let you say the rest . . . " . . . WMCA - Warstones , Wolverhampton 73/4 ish Quite a few of us went, and quite a few of us then went on to the nighters, Not really on the scene today, more interested in the music than the scene. The one record, as soon as I hear it takes me straight back to the youth club is Paul Anka "Can't Help Loving You". Others include The Casualeers "Dance Dance Dance", Al Wilson "Help Me", Checkerboard Squares "Double Cookin" ( I still call it "Strings A Go Go"). . . ."

Add to that Velvelettes with "Lonely Lonely Girl Am I" and of couse "In My Lonely Room" from Martha Reeves

I have that one too, but on mine labels are the wrong way around. Don't know it they were all done like that.

Here's two from Immediate . . . "Everybody's gonna say that everything is alright. If they don't then boy there's gonna be a fight" (PP Arnold) . . . and a slight variation . . . "Everybody wants to know that everything is alright. I guess they thought by now we'd had a great big fight" (Chris Farlowe / Dee Dee Warwick - We're Doing Fine) Cheers Mick

I'll start with this one . . . "There's something inside of me that tells me" is the opening line to both sides of Gary Sole - Holdin' On / Soul Light Touch

Here's one to think about. Two (or more) different songs that use either the same unique phrases, or a very minor variation. They could be by the same artist, but don't have to be. They could also be the A and B side of a release, or they coulld just be from the same company and / or songwriters. Again, the don't have to be. Just post the line, and the two (or more) different song titles that use the line. Obviously there's tons of songs that use very common short phrases (eg. "I love you") so no need to bother with that kind of thing. I'm thinking of much longer phrases. I've got a couple that spring to mind, but that's all I can think of. There must be quite a few. Cheers Mick

I assumed it was reissued for us in UK - a couple of years later RCA did the range of UK biggies (Paul Anka / Roy Hamilton / Laura Greene / Michael & Raymond / Dean Courtney etc. etc.)

I never saw the stock copy of 9723 until the nineties. Mid seventies there were loads of orange 1035, and quite a few yellow 9723 demos, but never an orange 9723 It may be different now, but back then it was probably the rarest. Cheers Mick

I haven't seen that one. I think in this case NU just copies the old well used design (with a few changes) for a new release. There is a thread on here from a couple of years ago covering this where loads of variations have been posted, but I can't find it at the moment. Cheers Mick

Still looking for 1138 Detroit, and the first one on AE7 1131 (IF IT EXISTS) Cheers

Still looking for two myself, if you have them ? . . . Detroit AE7 1138 ??? AE7 1131 (I don't know the city, but it's the start of the series, so it must exist - They wouldn't have started with 1132) Cheers Mick

Probably only miserable if you listen to it, as the jolly uptempo rhythm can make you ignore the lyrics. Cheers Mick

I paid for one in 1983/84 for £40.00 I'm still waiting for it to arrive !! When "that" copy turns up, I'll give it to you.

I don't own this, but here's an Orange Aluminium Acetate (it's been on on eBay for years) I've never seen anything like this before. Cheers Mick
