The Yank

Add these to the list- 1) Gloria Jones- "Come Go With Me" - original by the Del-Vikings 2) Ike and Tina Turner- "Dust My Broom" - original by Elmore James 3) Righteous Brothers Band- "Rat Race" - original by Richard Maltby (?) 4) Tony Middleton- "To The Ends Of The Earth" - original by Nat "King" Cole 5) Wynder K. Frogg- "Green Door" - original by Jim Lowe 6) "Wade In The Water" Marlena Shaw/ Ramsey Lewis- old Gospel song, not sure about 1st rendition

Sometime in the early part of this century, I was at a flea market looking at some 45's. The seller said "I have a few more I forgot to put out" and hands me a paper bag with about 50 45's in it. There was nothing really special except for the 2 45's I wanted. I take them to the seller who tells me "And don't think I don't know how much they're worth." So I said ( as calmly as possible) - "Well, how much are they?" The seller thinks about it for awhile and tells me $2.00 each. I told him I would take them and left with a mint minus copy of Art Freeman "Slipping Around With You" and the Honeybees on Garrison in about vg+ condition.

Simon Soussan also lists it in his "Rare Motown & Soul Price Guide" from 1994.

In his book "Cool Gent", Herb "King Of The Dusties" Kent wrote that he came up with the term "dusties" when he worked at WBEE in the late 1950's.

Thanks for posting !

The yellow Cadet labels started in 1971 with #5683 and continued until #5710 in 1975. I would guess if you saw a Marlena Shaw "Wade In The Water" on a yellow Cadet it would be a reissue. So I guess any new release from 5683 onward would be on a yellow label, any lower #'s should be on the blue label.

I was never a big fan of "I Miss My Baby"- it always sounded like the vocal was completely out of synch with the rhythm track.

Finally got my CD today and am listening it for the second time. Really liked the Rose Battiste - 1000% better than "I Miss My Baby", "I Hear Music" by Lorraine, the original version of "I Can't Hold On", and the Willie Kendricks. It's nice to have all the released tracks all on the same CD. The liner notes and all of the pictures were incredible too. Can't wait for volume 2.

There is a picture of the Tamla promo of "I Care About Detroit" is Simon Soussan's "Rare Motown & Soul Price Guide" but I guess you'd have to consider the source.

Astors- "Candy" Carla Thomas- "I'll Never Stop Loving You "

Thanks for posting- like this version a lot.

Isn't there an unreleased version of "Mr. Creator" by Candy and the Kisses ?

I'm glad to see iTunes and Amazon have the mp3 available. If you want to buy the CD on U.S. Amazon, the description of the CD says "This item will be released on February 19, 2013". Hope my copy gets here soon !

Going slightly off topic here but... wasn't "Can't Shake It" by Etta James supposed to be in this batch of 45's ?

If you go on the Ace / Kent web site, they now have the CD with a complete track listing in the "coming soon...." section.

Did Linda and Cecil perform as Womack and Womack ? R.I.P. Cecil .

I've had problems with Amazon before with new releases. When the Darrow Fletcher CD came out in October, I pre-ordered it. A month later it was still unavailable from them and a week later I got an e-mail from them saying they weren't sure when it would arrive. I finally cancelled my order and got it immediately from another web site.

JB-4 was Scepter. Track listing is 1) Jack Montgomery- "Dearly Beloved" 2) The Camp- "Marching" 3) Judy Clay "You Busted My Mind" 4) The Anglos- "Since You've Been Gone" 5) Johnny Maestro- "I'm Stepping Out Of The Picture"

"it Ain't The Meat" by the Swallows

I'm sure over the years, "Shop Around" sold over a million copies so the price seems a little steep. What is a "withdrawn" globes pressing ???

I wouldn't go over $25 if it was vg+. If it was mint , maybe $ 50.

I bought one of these about 5 years ago on e-bay - the single only with no CD- It's a one sided press and is Joe Boy #JBA 002V.

Is this a different record company than Carnival Records or did someone misspell the name on the mailer?

I've seen DvDs from "Shindig" and "Hullabaloo" but not for "Where The Action Is".

Yeah- "Love That Girl".
