That is Chuck Jackson at the front of Del Vikings?

Late 50's/early 60's....

I just had to 'youtube' Jo Boxers and you're right, I had to laugh at the video. Great stuff

Not sure....but a question, is Connie McGill a fella? Certainly sounds like it. Strange choice of name for a geezer!

I'm a tad cynical about this though.

Brilliant, thanks for sharing.

Oooh, heaven! Boxed Japanese tin Robots, Action Man, Subbuteo......

I remember getting a UK re-press of this L.P. It was on the new late 70's blue design Motown logo, you know the big 'M'. Traded it on when I got the US Gordy original.

I love digging....charity shops, car boots etc..I get a thrill from finding records (mainly on UK labels from these kind of places) for peanuts. Mod 60's stuff, Soul and Reggae or just plain unknown pop, 45's and lps. Ok it's not as prolific from these sources as it used to be back in the 80's/90's but finding something good for 20p is still a great feeling.

As a Motown collector I will buy vol-2 despite all the problems some are having, I'm sure they will do a better job ('once bitten.... '). Anyway, the singles are now individually up on ebay as we knew they would be..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161213266042?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Ah, which track denbo? I won't be able to help but as a Motown L.P collector I am intrigued

Why the UK one? Is there a different track than on the US one (which I have)?

According to sources (Manship's I think?) yes, this is correct. Mine is like that but more brown than grey and I paid £15 about 20 years ago.

First one that springs to my mind... 'How Can I Forget - Joey Dee & The New Starlighters' Think the Starlighters are an early incarnation of the 'Young Rascals'..

It was Fantastic Four (Goddess Of Love) but looks like he has that one as he's edited his post

So the orange 45 is the first release?

Exactly Pete! H.B.Barnum 'Heartbreaker' got re-issued on UK Capitol again, on orange Capitol with 'Searching For My Soul' on the flip, perhaps this one came before the red one coupled with Bobby Paris? EDIT: Just realised, this orange one is the first UK 45 release, right? 70's label design, 60's recording.

This is another legal re-issue although the seller states original.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171218290030?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_44wt_989

The one that went for £17 on ebay, you sure it wasn't a repro of the small 45 re-issue? That just seems fairly cheap as the kosher re-issue small 45 goes for a bit more than that.

Never heard 'Springtime' before, I can see it's appeal. Great tune.

If you listen to his LP on RCA, he mentions that he is in regular contact with Smokey Robinson and they are good friends. Blue-eyed Soulster 100%
