The Yank

September 1965

Here's another version -

At #19, one of the best on the list.

I like all the references to the Marvelettes "My Baby Must Be A Magician" from Melvin Franklin's "you are under my power, it is the power of love" to Teena later singing- "my baby must be a magician, he sure has got the magic touch..."

This one too...

The series started off as "A Package Of 16 Big Hits". Here's the original cover before the series switched over to the more familiar song titles in boxes format .

The Fantastic Four did better in Chicago (#20) without even showing up on the Detroit chart.

In October of 1964, the company decided to promote the "Walk On ..." side.

Going a little off topic, what did Doni contribute to "Bari Track" ?

From the June, 1965 Spotlight Singles column in Billboard

I don't have the current Manship price guide but, here's 3 recent sales vg to vg+- $313 USD (2/18) vg++ $561 USD (1/18) ? $255 USD (3/17) - no grade given- sound clip used

This ?? Sounds sped up though...

Nothing to think about here- 100% Edwin for me ! Doni comes across as some bad lounge singer in Las Vegas.

Here ya go ... part 2

I think both copies are legitimate. I've had Venture and Maverick 45's on vinyl and styrene.

It doesn't seem to show up very often. Here's some sales from Popsike/ Frenzy vg++ issue with demo sticker - $15.50 USD- 2017 vg- promo $95 USD - 2016 near mint issue $103 USD - 2015 vg/ vg++ issue $110 USD - 2010

Here's 4 recent sale prices VG+ - $150 USD ( June, 2018) EX - $129 USD (June, 2018) VG $123 USD (April, 2018) EX $ 180 USD (Nov. 2017)

I would be interested! Would love to see any 60's surveys from Chicago stations (WVON, WGRT) or from the suburbs (WBEE or WMPP).

Can't forget the Windy City ....

From August, 1964

Now that I've re-listened to "La Botella" that sax part does sound like David Sanborn!
