  1. According to Dave Moore's book "The Philly Sound", the backing track for these singles were cut in Detroit- Volcanos- "Help Wanted"/ "A Lady's Man" Rotations- "(Put A Dime On) D-9 Barbara Mason- "Bobby Is My Baby"
  2. 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.
  3. Time/ Brent Records had a trio of 45's made in Detroit in the early 60's- Laura Johnson, Donays and Marva Josie.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. R.I.P Mr. Wolfrum ! Here's an interview from 2013.
  8. An instrumental version of one of Harry Moon's sides for Jenges appeared later on the Pearl Harbor label -
  9. I found another one. This is from Goldmine #88 ( Sept. 1983) . A reasonable price on the Luckey Davis !
  10. 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 ?
  11. Of course you can- feel free to use them.
  12. 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.
  13. I found this in the June 1983 (#83) and June 1984 (#101) issues of Goldmine-
  14. Edwin Starr "S.O.S."/ "I Have Faith In You"- U.K. Polydor demo - 1060 pounds .
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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 -
  18. I'm pretty sure Reggie Lamont was Tony Daniels.
  19. Here's a few more with John L. publishing credits -
  20. Hard to find anything on Jimmy. I did find this article from the Oct. 30, 1965 issue of Billboard -
  21. The 45 auction for Sammy ends Oct. 27th. Currently at 399 pounds.
  22. If you're going for best value for the money, this one is hard to beat -
  23. Here's 2 more with Yancey credits -
