  1. Thanks for posting the article. The 1st time I went to Val's shop I felt like I was on a job interview- he asked me at least 20 questions before I could even look around the store. He let me look in the front of the store and as we talked he let me go to a room behind the counter and look at the perfectly filed 45's. He may be a little tough to deal with at first but once he gets to know you, he's a different person. He told me stories of people who came in waving cash and buying a few 45's and then later finding 1000's of dollars of rare Doo Wop 45's were missing from his store. So I can understand his attitude to new customers. But all in all, a great place to shop!
  2. Not sure about the Andantes theory- listen to them backing Amos Milburn about a year later. There's a huge difference between the backing vocalists on "Let Me Be Your Boy" and this group-
  3. For more info, there is a thread on SS from April titled "Wilson Pickett- Supremes" in the Look At Your Box section.
  4. Pretty sure that Larry Johnson and Little Larry Johnson are not the same person-
  5. Here's a pic of Bob when he went to KBLA _
  6. Is this the same Sarah James ?
  7. I figured as much- thanks for the info !
  8. I take it this label was part of the Vended/ Vendo music setup ?
  9. I think you're right- the same writer credit appears on these 2 singles-
  10. You might have a Canadian press- "Get On Up"/ "Listen To Me" did come out on Bunky in Canada according to this survey (#18) -
  11. Both releases (1957 and 1964) are on you tube. They sound the same to me.
  12. Dossie Terry was born in Georgia as Dorsey Terry and had been recording since the mid 40's. "Thunderbird" was 1st released in 1957 and was re-released by King in the 60's
  13. The Magnificent 7 also were known as the Magnificents-
  14. Broadway was still using the silver labels in 1966 which was when "World without Sunshine" was released. See survey below # 37 ). There was also a red label "pressing" -
  15. This is described as a "Northern Soul cover" on you tube. What do ya think ? ?
  16. The prices are correct. The Drifters was described as being "so close to a Manship mint" and the Sweet Things was in "impossible flawless condition" The bidder was told to "act accordingly". I guess in these times-
  17. I thought you were referring to the Record World article. After reading Bob Paladino's info, it might be he misremembered or the proofreader changed his info ( the same info is on the back of the Go Ahead label reissue from 2010.) Here's a Cleveland survey with the 45 at number 30 and the release year as 1967. Also , look at Lou Ragland at #23-
  18. There's only a month difference between your article (June 10, 1967) and the WJLB survey (July 10, 1967) so the time seems about right to me.
  19. "You Don't Love Me " also got some airplay in Detroit ( #27) -
  20. Discogs also posted his passing. Besides his great singles, as Al Hamilton he wrote many classic tunes- "Hungry For Love", "Real Humdinger", "Headline News" , "Stop Her On Sight", "You're My Mellow" and many 45's for the Fantastic Four. R.I.P. Al !!
  21. Sussex Productions was formed in 1966 according to this article from the November 12th issue of Billboard-
  22. Both of Terri's 45's were released in 1967. "Geni"/ "When I'm In Your Arms" was reviewed by Cashbox in their April 22 issue. "When..." was a Best Bet and "Geni" received a B+ rating. "Straighten Up and Fly Right" was another Best Bet and was reviewed in the October 7, 1967 issue.
  23. The song was used in season 2 of "Mad Men" -
  24. Mr. Moers also was involved with these two-
