The Yank

This is one of the group's best albums. They were definitely a quartet when the album was first released in 1969 on Neptune. Are you talking about the reissue on Philadelphia International ?

"Don't Leave Me" always makes me think of J.J. Barnes' "Please Let Me In". I agree - great two sider!

On CD #4, that is Bobby Freeman not Roscoe Shelton.

That's why I like Kent CD's - the booklets are full of info! The singer to the right of Garland Green on CD 2 also appears on the cover of "Jumping At The Go-Go" - there's no info on that CD either.

It's a reissue- the GG stood for the Golden Goodies series.

Here's a few- Temptations- "That'll Be The Day" Carolyn Crawford- "Until You Came Along" Levi and the Vandellas- "Oh, I've Been Blessed"

Problem solved- "If I Love You" is on the flip side of "Stop, Look, Listen, (To Your Heart) on AVCO #4572. You can also get it by Anthony and the Imperials on the other side of "Help Me Find A Way" on United Artists #50720.

CD 2- Garland Green is in the middle of the Rose Valentine 45, top right is probably Dean Courtney. CD 4- Sam Baker, Loleatta Holloway (from left to right) CD 7 - Charles Drain CD9- Little Ann (left side), Dave Hamilton is probably in the center circle CD 14- right side is Ruby Andrews CD 17- Jackie Washington, Charmels CD 19- top row- Fantastic Four, bottom middle is J.J. Barnes

I've got an original promo of "Have Love..." on vinyl. The Golden Tiger was a reissue label used by ERA records. It's probably from the late 60's/ early 70's.

There's another version by Maryann Farra and Satin Soul on Brunswick single #55533 and on her Brunswick album.

I think you have Ruby Winters mixed up with Ruby Andrews.

Here's a few more- Nigeria = TMN South Africa = TMS Greece = GTM Sweden = TMK Argentina = TMS

According to Terry Wilson's book "Tamla Motown- The Story Behind The U.K. Singles"- TMG stands for Tamla Motown Gordy .

My copy has the same info in the run out grooves. Hopefully, both are originals?

I've never heard about Ruth recording with the Moonglows- I know she worked with the Solitaires on Old Town.

There is some kind of a stamp but its so light I can't tell what it says.

I never noticed there was no "D.J. COPY NOT FOR SALE" until I looked at your copy.

I'm really glad you re-opened this thread. I got out my copy (which I always thought was legit) to compare it to yours and noticed a huge difference between your copy and mine. Now I'm having second thoughts about my copy. Can someone post the matrix details for a East Coast vinyl copy and remove this doubt ?? Thanks in advance !!!

I don't have the "There's A ..." 45. I vaguely remember hearing it a few times on the radio. From what I remember it was below average Disco.

I read somewhere (?) Fluffy was Lola's brother. Lola did record one 45 for RCA in '75 "There's A Man Out There Somewhere". I don't think the Cuba Gooding produced songs were ever released.

No big deal !

In the words of Van McCoy... "to each his own, that's my philosophy, I don't know whats right for you, you don't know what's right for me.........."

I might sound like a Chicago song to you but every time I hear the song, the first thing I think of is "Heatwave" by Martha and the Vandellas.

Here's another less obvious one- Porgy and the Monarchs- "That Girl". I know you're thinking that sounds nothing like a Motown record but compare it to the Downbeats unreleased "You Say You Love Me".
