Richard Berry - Have Love Will Travel
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.

Ruby Winters Just Like a Yo Yo
I think you have Ruby Winters mixed up with Ruby Andrews.

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

Tymes - Here She Comes (a Question)
My copy has the same info in the run out grooves. Hopefully, both are originals?

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

Tymes - Here She Comes (a Question)
There is some kind of a stamp but its so light I can't tell what it says.

Tymes - Here She Comes (a Question)
I never noticed there was no "D.J. COPY NOT FOR SALE" until I looked at your copy.

Tymes - Here She Comes (a Question)
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 !!!

Fluffy Falana - My Little Cottage (Alpha)
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.
-
Fluffy Falana - My Little Cottage (Alpha)
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.

Motown Soundalikes
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.........."

Motown Soundalikes
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.
-
Motown Soundalikes
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".
-
Motown Soundalikes
Here's a few more for the Motown Soundalikes list- Lillie Bryant- "Meet Me Halfway" Tina Britt- "The Real Thing" This next one isn't so obvious- Larry Atkins- "Ain't That Love Enough" sounds suspiciously like Brenda Holloway's unreleased "We'll Keep On Rolling"

Same name groups ?
There were Soulettes groups in Chicago and Detroit. Also at least 2 or 3 Sequins groups.
-
Same name groups ?

-
Motown Soundalikes
Here's a few more- Toys- "Lover's Concerto" Lorraine Chandler- "What Can I Do" Leon Haywood- "Baby Reconsider" Connie Clark- "My Sugar Baby"
-
Same name groups ?
There's at least 3 Velvets- the 50's Doo Wop group, the 60's group who recorded for Monument and the Northern group with the hyphen in its name- Vel-Vets. Lots of Brothers and Sisters too .
-
Same name groups ?
Here's a few more for the list- Specials (Marc)/ Specials ( Satch) and the Specials on Two Tone were all different groups and so were these- Reflections (Golden World) / Reflections (Capitol) Valentines (Rama)/ Valentines (Ludix) Valentines (Sound Stage 7) Avons (Hull) were a different group from the one who recorded on Excello and Sound Stage 7 And some quick trivia - the Royals (Detroit) changed their name to the Midnighters to avoid being confused with the Five Royales (Apollo) (who started out as the Royal Sons) who had recently signed to King.

The Reflections - (Just Like) Romeo & Juliet Lana First US Release
I guess the Reflections on Golden World being the same group as the one on Tigre is one of those urban legends- whoever started it must not have checked their sources. I stand corrected.
-
The Reflections - (Just Like) Romeo & Juliet Lana First US Release
The Reflections on Crossroads were a different group. The Reflections did have two prior releases prior to "...Romeo and Juliet"- "In The Still Of The Night" on Tigre and "Helpless" on Kay-Ko.
-
The Reflections - (Just Like) Romeo & Juliet Lana First US Release
You're right- they took the writing credits from the B side ("Can't You Tell By The Look In My Eyes") and used them for "(Just Like) Romeo & Juliet".
