US Postal Service COVID-19 Restrictions
I'm in the UK, I have a 45 coming from the USA. Last I heard it was in Chicago INT Distribution Center, that was on the 31st March. I just kept getting updates saying it's 'In transit to next facility'. All of a sudden updates stopped. 4 days ago I re-submitted the 'get updates' form and now getting updates again, yesterday it was in Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Today I got this message: May 6, 2020 at 4:02 pm Departed FORT WORTH, UNITED STATES Is this a good sign?

News: The Teardrops of Pittsburgh Story
Fantastic stuff Andy, you really did dig deep. Glad I could put you in contact with Dave Paugh, I told you he would be forthcoming 👍 You have really done the group justice. Thank you for the piece. When I spoke to him he invited me over to Florida (where he, and Judy Street now reside). I may take him up on that offer one day! He finds the Northern Soul scene very intriguing, and, like you said Andy, without it these tunes would be long forgotten and never heard. Congratulations, if a job's worth doing...

Track ID
A Northern monster but I just can't remember what it is? I heard a snippet and recognised it but I can't recall who it's by or what it's called, I might even have it in my collection! Male vocal, possibly a group. First set of lyrics are: "You're leaving me baby saying goodbye, walking out of my life without telling me why. Was it something I did, was something I said, you're leaving me baby and I wish I was dead"

The Nomads - Something's Bad - Mo Groove
Just heard that Neil Griffin track, especially like the 'What Can I Do' side, could get a shout at a Northern do no probs. Don't think it's the ABC-Paramount group of labels though? Sorry for going off on a tangent.

Years out of time but here's the group (who are also 'Sunny & Phyllis)... This group is made up of Sonny Threatt (middle back) and Phyllis Brown (seated), she scored big on the Northern scene with 'Oh Baby!'

I see where you looked, on discogs, but the Probe UK came out in 1973 and the ABC UK came out in 1974. So the Probe 45 is UK first press. Discogs contradicts itself, if you click on the Probe release this is what is says in the notes: The first UK release of these 1967 recordings, due to demand from the northern soul scene.

Jimmy James & Vagabonds do a good version but Turley wins it for me.

Still no photo of the group?

The Greatest Dancer
Yeah, and then a little bit later someone emailed Radio 2 and asked for 'Under My Thumb' and Zoe played the Rolling Stones and said "There's another Northern Soul classic" 🙄 bless her.

Sam Dees original or not?
If you read the description it actually says it was a 'white labelled' copy that had water damage so I can only presume they used a photo copy for the label?
