The Yank

Alvin Robinson's version was first. Not sure why the lyrics were changed for the Coasters release.

Looks legit to me.

I always thought it was "silently SCOLDING me..."

I've got a copy that came from the west coast that is styrene with a paper label. They don't show up too often .

What if Edith Wayne = Holland, Dozier, Holland and Ron Dunbar was actually Ron Dunbar ? Since they couldn't use their names because of the Motown lawsuit, they used Edith Wayne and gave Ron credit for his work ?

In the book "Detroit "67", the name Edith Wayne is said to come from the following sources- Lamont Dozier took the name Edith from his teacher Edith Burke who was the 1st person to encourage his passion for music. While trying to come up with the last name,they spotted billboards for Wayne State University and took that. In the liner notes for "Heaven Must Have Sent You- The H-D-H Story", Eddie Holland singled out Ron Dunbar, Angelo Bond and Greg Perry for their contributions to Hot Wax and Invictus. I don't doubt he wrote and produced along with H-D-H. Ron was still active in the music business in the 2000's - here's a copy of his business card and a CD he worked on ...

If the album releases follow the 45 releases, the red label would have been first then the multi-colored Twinight label. I would almost swear the multi colored Twinight label wasn't used until 1970, possibly even later.

"The Night" comes from the "Chameleon " album on Mowest. The album version has the "creepy unison" start to the song and runs 3:22. If I'm not mistaken, the version that starts off with Frankie singing lead is from the U.K. single on Mowest #3024.

The version on the you tube clip is pretty close to the edit used on "Northern Soul Connoisseurs" CD on Spectrum. The CD only runs about 45 minutes so I don't know why they needed to edit "Love, Love, Love".

A copy of this sold for $775 USD in April of 2012 , but since then prices have fallen. A copy in vg++ sold for $341 USD in May of 2013, a near mint copy sold for $406 USD in August of 2013, and a copy described as "real nice" sold for $350 USD in Feb. of 2014.

Sound files for all of the songs are now posted on the Ace/ Kent web site if anyone wants to give them a listen.

I was at a thrift store and saw this bizarre album- Enoch Light presents "Guitar Underground- 7 Great Guitars with the NOW sound". Enoch was a big band leader and then put out a series of "ping pong percussion" albums in the early 60's. I guess after making albums for parents he decided to go for the youth market. The album has remakes of what you would expect- "Georgy Girl", "Up Up And Away", "Don't Sleep In The Subway", "It's Not Unusual" and "Strangers In The Night". And then in the midst of all that , there's a remake of Al Kent's "You've Got To Pay The Price" ?

I see the CD info got posted to the Ace/ Kent site today. Why do some of the songs have *'s? Does that mean stereo versions or something else ??

I've seen a pink label "reissue" but not one with a lookalike label.

I've already seen it and would definitely recommend to anyone else in the States.

Goldies 45 was started sometime in the early 70's to reissue hits from the ABC and Dunhill labels and their subsidiaries.

My copy has the delta # , the MR and the M-318 also so I would think yours is a legit copy.

A vg+ promo sold for $345 USD in May, a copy in "vg but plays better" went for $516 USD in March.

This is only the tip of the iceberg- the 60's were full of Dance crazes. Here's a few more- the Roach, Hitch Hike, Frug, Dip, Continental, Sloop Dance, Cross Fire, Gorilla, Philly Freeze. Cannibal and the Headhunters and Wilson Pickett were exaggerating when they sung "Land Of A Thousand Dances" but I'm sure there are 100's more 60's Dances.

"Controlled By Your Love"/ "Chills And Thrills" was a legitimate release for Helene. But... the record was bootlegged. Originals should be vinyl and have a "DUKOFF" (?) matrix.

Bang which was started in March of 1965 was distributed by Atlantic up until mid 1966. The company's name came from the owners initials B(Bert Berns), A (Ahmet Ertegun) N (Nesuhi Ertegun) G ( Gerald aka Jerry Wexler) . Bert started Shout after he left Atlantic. Bang/ Shout lasted until about 1970. Both companies were revived in '72 or '73. Sometime after the success of Brick's "Dazz", the companies were distributed by Columbia. I have never seen a company sleeve for the 60's Bang and Shout labels.

"Good Bye Cruel Love" was issued promotionally on Motown on some presses as "Good-By Cruel WORLD". I've never seen an issue that way. The Tamla version with globes is a Canadian release.

I'm still not sure Austin Taylor is Ted Taylor. In Joel Selvin's book "Here Comes The Night", there is no mention of Ted Taylor being Austin Taylor. In the liner notes to the Ace CD, "The Bert Berns Story- Twist and Shout Vol. 1", Mick Patrick and Rob Hughes wrote that Austin Taylor is NOT Ted Taylor.

I think its worth about $5-$10 - not sure about the Ted Taylor connection though. There is a Austin Taylor 45 on Sprout Artist that brings a bit more .

I would agree- can't see there being any link to any of the U.S. Festival labels.
