Thanks Andy. The Staunton - Walker team ( with Jones and Dobyne) seem to disappear after Motown (65 ish)....unless somebody knows anything of their career after Motown. I know Robert Dobyne had later 45s

Surely a record is still as good/ bad as the minute it was finished in the studio. It's only the "Punters" perception that changes. If it was brilliant as Eddie Foster, has DILY( IID) got worse over the years.- Bruce Springsteen does Frank Wilson, give me strength!

It's a tribute album to Soul Music, and he is visiting Smokey, Jerry Butler, Sam Moore, Tyrone Davis, William Bell, Levi Stubbs, David Ruffin and more. Everyday I listen to Radio Stations ( News Stations) whose Presenters are completely ignorant of Soul Music, believing that everybody went to 6th Form College, Higher Education, Polytechnics and University. If you didn't ....you and your music tastes don't count. So I'm glad to see some recognition of the artists we love by a MAJOR Pop/Rock Star.- Can anybody identify these tracks please?

Many thanks for getting back with this info Many thanks for getting back with this info- Can anybody identify these tracks please?

After the Orange sleeve, about 1967, I think, EMI used a sleeve with colour photos of albums on sale. This was probably to follow suit with USA 45s , who used several designs. Green was about 1968 . Don't know why they changed it. It was an exiciting moment to walk into record shops, look at the racks of stock....and spot "an Orange" amongst other labels. Asking the ,usually, nice elderley lady, " Can I just look at those old records please?".- Miracles album track- error by EMI
