Don't think it was a mistake - If you play the Smokey / Miracles track "Come 'Round Here" from the same LP, that is also a different take - Quite a few Motown LPs had different takes to the 45, Jimmy Mack / at least two Jackson 5 tracks, probably others too Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Apparently they were part Italian and part Swiss Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

It was Spiral Starecase Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Maybe it was just the one copy I played that was off (Think it was a white DJ), and "assumed" the rest were the same. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

The Destiny release was the proper version by Rita & Tiaras , but badly mastered, it played off centre and sounded really bad. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Here's a scan of the 9011 issue (from an earlier thread on here) the Promo would be white and black / same design as above / vinyl Bootlegs are turquoise and black / styrene. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

The other side is called "I Stood By" Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Possibly Joe Vandiver (as in "you're everything" etc) Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Also by Dana Valery , as was Jackie Wilsons, "this love is real" , also by Promises and DV Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Yes, on the "United" label Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

I think , as Tony says, it was only the last few tracks that Tammi couldn't perform due to deterioating health - one of them was "The Onion Song". Cant be be sure, but "California Soul" rings a bell too. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Promatics and Love & Brotherhood were also the same as Fuller Bros and Whispers, but what was the Suger Pie DeSanto ??? Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Probably sold through other means (web site / gemm / etc) or not through the internet, especially if it was a popular item. Can take a while to update stock if it is listed more than once. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Essex Burning Emotions

Cody Michaels / Liza Mae ( x 2 ? ) / Jan Snow / Michael Christian - might be others - there was a few threads about this a while back - Definately 4 uses of this track, and 5 if there was another Liza Mae apart from "Juicy Mouth" Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Good Grief!! - The Four Larks - No wonder I knew it from somewhere - about FOUR WHOLE DAYS AGO, I played this to someone down the phone and consequently sold it then and there (Got a spare though for myself). Can't say I know this posted version though - Philly LP? - Which one - is it still the Four Larks - sounds very similar in vocal style, but not quite the same ?? Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

I remeber that an early (Motown Based) Spinners track got a release on Australian Pye, presumably because the Australian company "assumed" it was a new release by the UK Pye group. - So it wasn't just the public who were confused, Even PYE thought it was "Their Group" Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Well, with these two there is no doubt Here's the Mamie Lee LP ... ... and on a Hard drive somewhere I have a private photo of Tobbi Bowe , also a black artist. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Good point

Which of course leads us to "Abstract Reality" / "Love Burns Like A Fire" Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Tobbi Bowe , always thought she sounded white. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Thats probably the version I was on about earlier - Seem to remember quite a few "different" takes of classics on this CD - Chuck Jackson / Got the Need, and a version of "You Didn't Say A Word" which was completely different to the 3 known versions - could even have been a modern day re-recordings. Cheers Mick Holdsworth https://northern-soul-records.com https://motownsound.co.uk

Also if your gonna pull it from auction, do so PDQ. I think there is a time limit on closing an auction (12 hours or more?) or is that just modifying an auction ? - may pay to check with only 17 hours to go.

Just found the original webpage https://gadgets.qj.net/How-to-Pirate-a-Viny...pg/49/aid/39381 Can't see anyone actually attempting this with anything woth more than a fiver, which kind of defeats the object doesn't it. Wonder if someone would lend me a Junior McCants for a couple of days ...
