The Yank

I believe the Star- Treks ended at 282 pounds.

By the time the Gems' "I'll Be There" came out ('67) the Chicago based Gems had evolved into the Starlets (not to be confused with the "Better Tell Him No" group) according to discogs.

I would say the Drifters "There Goes My Baby" definitely started the trend of strings in Soul Music. But, there were earlier examples like this from 1956 -

One thing is for sure, Cholli was not a male singer as this Cashbox review seems to suggest -

I looked on popsike and found a few copies that were sold. They went from 17-33 pounds. I think the price on discogs is wishful thinking on the seller's part.

Five have sold since 2016 according to popsike. Prices go from around $500 to about $1300 depending on condition.

That's close to my copy- mine has a little more hiss.

I don't know what's going on with the 45- it's a cut out- there is no snap, crackle or pop but it does have some a little more hiss than there should be.

I recently got the 45 in what looks like mint - condition. But... when I played it , it was on the noisy side. Are they all like this or did I get a defective copy ?

Did anyone see what the Wigan Casino 25th Anniversary box set went for ?

The original release and the later release on Roulette with new songwriter credits -

I'm pretty sure the Betty Moorer ended at 207 pounds.

I've got the fast version of "Must I Holler" along with 3 other Jamo Thomas songs ("Stop The Baby", "Snake Hip Mama" and "Jamo's Party" ) on a 12" acetate. I would guess at some point the fast version was being considered for release.

"There's A Place In My Heart" did get some airplay in Columbia, South Carolina _

This?? Quite a few for sales on discogs-

Richard Berry was in a group that recorded under 5 names - The Flairs = The Chimes = Ermines = Hollywood Blue Jays = Hunters.

Here's Ed -

Here's one more for the list -

Bobby Garrett's partner in Bob and Earl also recorded under 4 names- Earl Nelson = Earl Cosby= Jackie Lee= Jay Dee.

Her's another person with 4 names- Frank Wilson = Eddie Wilson= Chester St. Anthony= Sonny Daye.

Technically, it's really not a Pied Piper production. Although Herb WIlliams of Pied Piper did the arrangements, the track was produced by Ed Wright.

I would think the Something New on Curtom were promo only since it shares the same release # as this Impressions single -

Not sure if they're talking about the same 45 here, but it looks like Terry also had a single coming out on Madtad Records which appears to be a collaboration between Curtis Mayfield, Marv Stuart and Scepter/ Wand . From Cashbox April 10, 1971-

I would say this is a U.S. press with a small center. The single charted (#34)on June12, 1981 and most U.S. radio stations did not play import singles -
