Markeda 133-9748 Gene Marshall and the Ghetto Sons - "It happens to everyone/One shirt" Terrell 6179 Johnny Nix -"I got my brand on you/Match box" 6277 Pop's Porter - "Get away from the door/Please if you can't come in let me sit on your porch"

Spooky coincidence, Pete. I've just got the connection with the "Quittin time" backing track and the recording on Wheelsville by the International KCP'S. The Curtis Lee effort is on Rojac - do you know if it's the same version? Should be played out, though.

"Everybody's going wild" Two questions about this storming slab of northern: 1. Does it get any current action? 2. Is this the only northern sound that featues yodelling?

One through ebay in May of this year for $1881.

Manship's latest has it at £40.

There's a thread about this from 1 February 2009. A search will take you to it.

He was shot in a drive by shooting in Detroit in 1969.

Shes a "soul" singer

Don't know if this has been done before but Little Anthony does an on-line column which can be found at https://www.vegascommunityonline.com. Go to "columns" section and scroll down to "An Imperial Life - This and That" Some interesting stuff there.

"Dirt in the sky" is the flip to "Early morning break"

Amongst many of the tapes that I got from Rod Dearlove in the 80's is this belter: R L Griffin - Cry,cry,cry William Bell - Every day will be like a holiday Willie Clayton - Show and tell Willie Clayton - Weak for you Little Milton - I'm at the end of my rainbow Luther Ingram - Baby don't go too far Marvin Sease - Ghetto man Roy C - She's a lady Prince Phillip Mitchell - In her own way Dee Edwards - Without love there's no world Attraction - Greatest love affair Bobby Bland - Angel On the other side there is 20 Northern tracks which I might list if I can be bothered but absolute top quality sounds every one of them.

Yes, came out on "A Cellarful of Motown Vol.2" There's also a version by the Supremes, also unreleased.

So this would be Theoda 3206 - "It was only yesterday/Again it's Christmas" In Manships 4th at £300, one through e-bay in 2007 for $373.

Thanks Sean - that's the one.

Come on, Pete. Lenis Guess "Just ask me" - obvious stone cold classic and popularised as such. But was it later discovered that the version by Elsie Strong was the first recording of the track for example? I'm not saying that this might be the best example but there are other versions of classic tracks and all I'm asking (in a cack handed manner) is whether or not some of the later discovered versions actually pre-date the better known version.

Not done any research on this to confirm the position one way or another, but...... Was it the original recording that the scene embraced or was it just discovered first, for example: Lenis Guess/Elsie Strong Invitations/Toys Doris Troy/Dee Dee Sharpe Harold Melvin/Bob Kuban James Barnett/Phillip Mitchell Now I know that for some of the above it will be blindingly obvious which is the original, but you know what I mean, don't you? What about some more in a similar vein.

J Hines & the Boys had 3 documented releases on Nationwide, a NY label and 1 documented release on Roadway, a S Carolina label.

Mission impossible again but for me, nothing will ever top..... Smokey Robinson & the Miracles - "The tracks of my tears" I heard this as a 10 year old and instantly knew that the sound eminating from Black America was much more appealing than it's British counterpart. Although there have been many,many fine tunes from Motown over the years nothing quite compares to those spine tingling opening bars,the sublime vocals and the gut wrenching lyrics. A true masterpiece.

Just had a look and there's something in Wikipedia about them and the Kazenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Circus a bubblegum "supergroup"

Jerry Kazenetz and Jeff Katz are the producers. I'm sure there will be something on the net about them.

The Willie Williams Lakeside label is from New York according to R & B Indies 3100 Willie Williams - "The baa-baa song/Psyched out" 3101 Maurice Jackson - "Lucky fellow/Instrumental" 3102 Bobby Franklin & Friends - "This is the place/I can't wait for your love" Perhaps Bob can explain the Chigaco connection because Maurice Jackson was from Chicago and the Chess listings show Lakeside tracks.

Thing is, it's not Ginger's book is it? It's a book about him written by somebody that must want to do it, for whatever reason. I'm sure Ginger is flattered (and why not) and will obviously co-operate in the process but is anybody on here willing to say that they would expect somebody to turn down such an opportunity, no matter how limited the appeal may be. He's a good bloke and on that basis alone, good luck to him and the author.

I've got one of those and it's green,but I didn't know what it was until now
