Here's a few more- Stemmons Express' "Woman, Love, Thief" uses the backing track to the Precisions "Such Misery" (Karma then Wand) Tom and Jerrio's "Boo-Ga-Loo" uses a backing track that is extremely close to the Contours unreleased "Do The See Saw" (ABC) Holly Maxwell's "Don't Say You Love Me" -Star - According to the Don't Forget The Motor City site, the backing track was cut at Golden World And a minor correction- Laura Johnson, Marva Josie and the Donays were all released in 1962 not 1963.

Time/ Brent Records had a trio of 45's made in Detroit in the early 60's- Laura Johnson, Donays and Marva Josie.- Detroit produced 45's on non-Detroit labels !
A few more for the list - Mary Wells - "Dear Lover", "Fancy Free", "Can't You See...", "Me And My Baby"- Atco Platters- "With This Ring", "Washed Ashore" - Musicor There are probably more from these artists.- Detroit produced 45's on non-Detroit labels !
I would guess there were 2 different pressing plants that pressed up the 45's. That would also explain the "Dearly Beloved" and "My Dear Beloved" issues A few more for the list Andrea Henry and Spyder Turner on MGM, Emanuel Laskey's "Lucky..." on WIld Deuce, and the Honeybees on Garrison I also think the Charmaines "Eternally" was recorded in Detroit.- Detroit produced 45's on non-Detroit labels !

I don't know who was the 1st to play it across the Big Pond but, one of the 1st stations to play it in the U.S. was WTRX in Flint, Michigan who must have been playing it weeks before Columbia picked it up. It did reach "Pick Hit Of The Week" status but if you notice, there is no artist listed.- R.I.P. Dr Edward J Wolfrum
R.I.P Mr. Wolfrum ! Here's an interview from 2013.- Dream Merchants / The Indelgents
An instrumental version of one of Harry Moon's sides for Jenges appeared later on the Pearl Harbor label -- Who was John Hillyard?
I found another one. This is from Goldmine #88 ( Sept. 1983) . A reasonable price on the Luckey Davis !- Northern Soul - REALLY!!!
Why couldn't Charles Johnson be both ? If a record like Diana Ross's "Love Hangover" hit number 1 on the U.S. Pop, R& B and Disco charts, then would you qualify it as a Pop record, and R & B record or a Disco record ?- Who was John Hillyard?
Of course you can- feel free to use them.- News: George and Faye Treadwell and The Drifters Story
Great article - one minor detail . Clyde Mcphatter had left the group sometime in '54 or '55 and been cutting solo singles since then . I doubt if many Drifters fans gave the new Drifters group a frosty reception because Clyde left the group ( and having big chart success) 3 or 4 years earlier.- Who was John Hillyard?

Edwin Starr "S.O.S."/ "I Have Faith In You"- U.K. Polydor demo - 1060 pounds .- Another UK northern soul record over a £1000
Edwin Starr's "S.O.S."/ "I Have Faith In You" on a U.K. Polydor demo just finished at 1060 pounds on Mr. Manship's web site.- Betty Moorer -speed up ISSUE vs PROMO
I'm about 99% sure that both the issue and promo copies are both styrene. The only differences between the 2 would be the promo using black print for the song info and the issue using red, and the "Bunky's Pick" on the "It's My Thing" side.- Who was John Hillyard?
I'm not sure this is the same John Hillyard, but there was someone working for Kim Fowley. This is from Billboard's 1970/ 71 International Buyer's directory -- Karl Tarleton/Reggie Lamont
I'm pretty sure Reggie Lamont was Tony Daniels.- So Who Exactly Was John L. Brown?
