The Yank

Very sad to hear about his passing- Lamont wrote and produced some of my favorites songs of the 60's and 70's. This is one of my favorites from his solo work-

The pressing plant used the info from a prior Artistics release on this Jackie Wilson 45-

I remember those days well- getting Goldmine and Discoveries and placing my bid and then waiting a month to find out if I won the 45 auction. There were also dealers who had monthly set sales lists- you would mail in your money order and hope your letter got there before another persons did. Now waiting a week after buying something on line seems to be too long!

I've always like his duets with Phyllis Hyman -

I don't think Trade Martin influenced "black folks" with his 45. No mention of it in Billboard, Cashbox or Record World. It may have got some airplay but there I can't find any evidence of it charting on any U.S. radio stations. A more likely source is Prince La La's 1961 "She Put The Hurt On Me', Little Herman's "I'm Gonna Put The Hurt On You" or Alvin Robinson's "I'm Gonna Put The Hurt On You" .

One is now up for auction on Manship's site. The bidding ends on July 27th.

Original release of "I'm Caught Up" -

Here's a few Miracle singles with errors- the 1st one has Berry's last name as "Gordt" and the other 2 couldn't get the title right- the correct title is "Everybody's Gotta Pay Some Dues"

Here's a few more-

Someone must have been thinking about James Darren's earlier hit when they did the title for this -

On this release, the label got her last name wrong- \ This should help (😀) -

The singer was born Marie Dionne WarRick but after someone misprinted her name as Warwick, she went with her new name-

Here's a few more. The Seeburg Spotlight Band's title should read "Nowhere To Run" and the Jr. Walker has the title as two words and the group has a new name-

I'll be able to post the results for the July 6th auction (sorry Kenb !) .

My demo is the same as the 4th copy shown- it is a West Coast press and does have a delta # though- 56060.

I won't be able to post the results for June 29th but, may be able to post the July 6th info.

Here's the version he's referring to -

What was the final price for the Fi-Dels ?

The Delcos version came out in 1963, the Royal Playboys came out a few years later in 1966.

Yes -

The Psychedelic RCA sleeves are from 1969 until 1970/ 1971. Here's a few more from the late 50's -
