Stylus For Your Rare Vinyl
Stanton 500 carts were used by the more discerning DJ in the seventies. The even more discerning DJ used Shure M 44 E's. Setting up the deck properly helps. If the decks are hired out to Sccratch and Hip Hop DJ's you may need to do a bit of work on them. The clue is "Are the tone arm weights reversed?" if so look very carefully at the height of the tone arm and the angle of the stylus hitting the record. Check the Anti Skate. It should be set at the tracking weight of the Cart. If not you may find the tone arm just refuses to get to the end of the 7" record. Most Scratch/Hip Hop DJ's use 12" singles and very rarely play them all the way through to the end of the groove. If you're playing 7" singles use the Chunky Technics rubber mats that came with decks. Slip mats are for turntablists who manipulate records so unless you want to repeat the opening horn riff from Harlem Shuffle or the the loop the Beyonce blast from Are You My Woman use a rubber. It's safer and cuts down the risk of feedback. DJ Deft writes with some sense here https://www.dj.deft.ukgateway.net/mainpages/cartridges.htm

Ascap Unlisted?
I thought it was Little Feat in their session days who supplied the backing and I had presumed Lowell George played the lick.

Ascap Unlisted?
Here's some reading on what UK collection agencies do. BMI and ASCAP do not operate within the UK. They will have agreements with UK collection agencies or the song's/recording's owner will have a UK counterpart. https://www.bemuso.com/musicbiz/collectionsocieties.html

Do They Dance Different In The Us?
It came from a beach music site. I was looking for a couple shagging but you try googling that. As you can see from the watermark superimposed on the photograph this is from the Supershag site.

Following The Rap & Kids Threed
I don't know why you're moaning you ain't got a hip hop DJ as a son who borrows your records and then uses them for scratching , beats and breaks. And leaves thumb prints, sticky paper and worse on them. Love and happiness in the Sixties. Lee Dorsey Working in a Coal Mine The Contours First I look at the Purse Jr. Walker Shotgun all cover topics beloved by today's rappers.

Marvin & Tammi
possibly plus the cover by Martha Wash from a few years ago sent some people back to find the original. I play it at weddings and it goes down well. Then again like Cry To Me the interest might have been renewed by a version on a film soundtrack. Was Remember The Titans that big?

Who's Got All The Cash?
Otis wrote and produced and had an honest manager. Jackie Wilson earned his money from live appearances and his manger had mob connections.

Because the union locals of the American Federation of Musicians also act as an employment agency Earl could not book himself out. He was a full time union official.
