I've got a red one - if blue copies exist I haven't seen them the tcb is blue my guess is that the group is from Flint - related to Velvettes & the Bar-Bee's on Stepp?

it's a different version alright - parts 1 & 2 - same falsetto the second side starts with what Bob Mays calls 'the sexy talking part'

Bob, do you know the later red label version of the Mark-keys - 'Heavenly Thing'? I think I prefer that one simply because it's rarer

69 & 71? I don't think so google says 65 & 66

I don't think brad or jeff have ever had that 'loving you takes up...'( that I can recall) - jeff probably had it years ago, back in the desirable disc days, shifty probably had it on his list for 200 or something jeff will list an occasional beater, but mostly just sells the lower grade stuff to a certain German dealer brad seems to have given up on ebay entirely, can't really blame him

the two are different mixes( if the same take), the Royalt version has the drums much more prominent on 'Hard Times' - I've had both at once & done an A/B comparison

I for one appreciate the attention!

I have a copy & it certainly works well as a dancefloor record, but it isn't exactly a soulful masterpiece - the way the inst solo breaks are split between the sides always sort of annoyed me too - it would prob work better as a 12 inch frankly

I didn't drive home, I keep a manship book under the seat of my car for use in emergency situations in my defense I thought it was a novelty record - that 'Collectors Production' credit threw me

the last copy that was on ebay came from a guy that worked as a handyman for a slumlord - he found a pile of records sitting next to a dumpster - they all seemingly had belonged to Tony Hestor - there were 2 'dancing a hole in the world' promos too

a few great titles just added - Carbon Copies on Git Down, Dusty Wilson on Bronse, Stone Creations on Fly-By-Nite, Jimmy Scott on Detroit Gold etc B) https://shop.ebay.com/merchant/nemo23

seems that recordsclearout & jerseycity711 are a better known dealers sub-accounts for getting rid of his crap take 500 shite records, throw a scratchy lee rogers on d-town on top of the heap for the photo, start counting the dollars

indeed has anyone else here noticed what a crap pressing 'Baby Back' is? even the clean copies I've had played with a little noise

this song always reminds me of that 'Chillis Baby Back Ribs' TV ad the one where the kitchen staff all harmonize, "I want my baby back, baby back, baby back, Chilli's baaaaby back ribs..." 'look at me now' is far better anyway

are there any red Westbounds beyond that common Detroit Emeralds 45 & the Magictones 'Good Old Music' b/w 'I'll Make It Up To You'? btw: 'I'll Make It Up To You' is underappreciated & great!

UPDATE: Mixed Sugar has been shifted Ashanti will be up on the ebay tomorrow JT Rhythm I will entertain offers on - upon further reflection my price was a bit 'optimistic' btb

ending tomorrow - support a Detroit soulie!!!(me)

the article in the Detroit Free Press about the store closing appeared yesterday & the store has been extremely busy ever since - Bob has sold off about 4-5000 lps bulk to make some room - 'commons' mostly - but he's not blowing out the 45s to my knowledge, just shifting them back to his house little by little - he's already moved one of his huge wooden 45 shelves from the store to his living room... fyi - Feb 15th should be the closing date. the landlords behavior has been horrible, she literally just walked in and announced that that he had until the end of the month to leave & that the building would be paved over for a parking lot... btb
