The Yank

Not 100% sure but it sure sounds like there's a vocoder on "Tell Me Something Good" by Rufus from their 1974 album "Rags To Rufus".

Little Herman sounds like Little Helen (at least to me) on "Gotta Keep On Walking" and "One Out Of A Hundred". The lead singer of Spiral Starecase has a voice that could be either male or female on "More Today Than Yesterday".

There's an article in the January 8, 1966 issue of Record World on page 3- "Tamla/ Motown Sets Major Expansion for 1966". In the article it mentions Motown "establishing new artists such as Tammi Terrell, The Monitors and Frank Wilson". It makes you wonder if "DILY(IID)" was still being considered for release then.

The first time I heard "Forget It" by the Sandpebbles (later C & the Shells) I thought the lead singer was a man.

There were two recent sales according to Collector's Frenzy- 1) In 2015, one in vg/ vg+ with light scuffs that went for $4673 USD. 2) In 2016, one that appeared to be in vg/vg+ but had "terrible hiss" after the first 10/15 seconds went for $863 USD.

I've heard Lester was known for dancing in local clubs and on tv (not sure about the car part of the story though). Major Lance got his break as a featured dancer on Jim Lounsbury's "Time For Teens" and then got a deal with Mercury Records. I think the Major was well aware of the Northern Soul scene though.

Joe Pesci also made this album for Brunswick ---

Nancy Ames was a regular on the American version of "That Was The Week That Was" from 1964-1965.

Toni Basil was a featured dancer on another American television show "Shindig".

Lada Edmund Jr. was a featured dancer on the tv show "Hullabaloo" before cutting "The Larue".

The Exits were Jimmy("Cigarette Ashes") Conwell, Godoy Colbert, Esko Wallace, Lous (Louis? ) Hendricks and Charles Colbert .

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help with the Debutantes ! While scrolling through Record World, found March 26, 1966 to be one of the best weeks for Soul releases. All of these received 4 stars ( the highest rating) Lorraine Chandler "What Can I Do", The Reflections "Like Adam and Eve", Tammy Wayne "Have A Good Time", Tony Hestor "Just Can't Leave You" and the Olympics "Mine Exclusively".

Not 100% sure but I think the styrene presses all would be #1's- where the writing starts under the colored lines. It seems like all the vinyl copies had more info on the label and had the writing through the colored lines. (#2, #3) .

I just checked the definition of typo in the dictionary and it says "an error (as of spelling) in typed or typeset material" Don't think it has anything to do with different pressing plants changing the type of font used.

Don't know what country its from, but this 45 would look good in the sleeve

Found 2 articles that should be of interest. The March 12th issue has an article on One-Derful Recordson page 46. The April 16th issue has "The Golden World Story" on page 21. This article mentions a new group they just signed- The Debutantes (??). At first I thought they meant the Debonaires but that group had been with the label for awhile. Does anyone know anything about the Debutantes on Golden World?

These 2 also jumped out- in the May7, 1966 issue, George Blackwell "Can't Lose My Head" got a 3 star review and was described as "perfect for 1966 dancing styles". Christine Cooper got a 4 star review for "Heartaches Away My Boy".

Just looked at the May 13, 1967 issue of RW- both Jimmy Mack "My World Is On Fire" and the Younghearts "Little Togetherness" received Four Star reviews !! Who would have thought that ?

Where is this "typo" ???? Also- I don't know why you would think this was a photocopied label. If you look at the logo on the grey styrene copy , The Revilot is lower and the line underneath the logo is at a different angle. If this was photocopied wouldn't it look exactly the same ?

The reason I thought something was wrong with "Somebody..." was because the ZTSC info has the scratched matrix instead of the usual ZTSC stamped matrix.

Here's a picture of my vinyl copy of "Open..." next to a styrene press of "Somebody (Somewhere Needs You)" . The color of the label is lighter on "Open..." and the line underneath Revilot is higher up and at more of a slant. I just noticed my styrene copy of "Somebody..." also has the scratched in matrix info. Now I'm really confused.....

There was a SS topic about this a few years back- "Darrell Banks Our Love.... Grey issue or DJ". I live in the States and have two vinyl copies (both cutouts ) of "Open The Door..." one grey and one pink. I always thought they were legit. I would say at least 90% of the "Open... " copies that I've seen were styrene.
