The Yank

Maybe they throw in a copy of "My World Is On Fire" by Jimmy Mack with the book .

Figured it out !

How about "You Got The Love I Need " by the Undisputed Truth - flip side of "Smiling Faces". ps- Does anyone know why this line is running through everything I type ??

An $8000 discount- this one won't last long !!

That one shows up quite a bit- that was way more than I thought it should have went for. Thanks for the link !

Which King design?-Didn't see that one .

Saw that today- the last one( from the same seller) went for about $130 USD. That is a tough one to find.

If you've got it on Musicor #1275, the flip side is "Sonata". It was reissued on Musicor #1443 with "Be My Love" as the B side.

You might want to read post #47 which is from the person who started the thread- "Motown copies is what I'm looking for- other companies attempts to emulate/ cash in on Motown".

I'm starting to wonder if maybe this shouldn't be split into 2 threads. I think the original intent was to list records that were influenced by Motown. It's turning into only counting records if Motown/ ex-Motown personnel were involved. Any then should we take into account subtle influences (Brill Building, Chicago/ West Coast) ??

Yes it did- but when it was first released on Ric Tic, I don't think they were making it because they knew a few years later Motown would buy out the label. Another one for the list- "Higher and Higher" Jackie WIlson.

I'll throw in "S.O.S" Edwin Starr "Selfish One" - Jackie Ross "Try A Little Harder- Fi- Dels "Heartaches Away My Boy" - Christine Cooper- best song Supremes never made! "Open The Door To Your Heart" - Darrel Banks

According to Brown and Koppel's book, those two are legal reissues.

Never saw the We The People on Verve or stock copies of the High Keys or Youngblood Smith. Not that this means anything.

I would agree that the rarest Verve 45 would either be the High Keys issue or the Youngblood Smith. Someone listed the Charades as one of the rarest- let's take that on off the list since it's on MGM.

That version was taped on February 28,1964 at "The Battle Of The Stars" at the Greystone Ballroom . It's available on "The Velvelettes- The Motown Anthology" double CD set from 2004.

Okay here's my definite answer. Pat Powdrill's version of "Breaking Point" is not the same version as Sharon Soul's since there is no such record. Think you've got Sharon Soul mixed up with label mate Deena Johnson.

I thought you had the Sharon Soul and Brad Lundy 45's and would know. I guess that my answer was a maybe .

Pat's "Breaking Point" was written by Connie St. John.

Here's a few more releases by Pat- Reprise #0286- "Luckiest Girl In Town" / "Breakin' Point" Reprise #20,204- "Happy Anniversary"/ "I've Forgot More Than You'll Know"

I don't think the Magnetics who recorded "Father Time"/ "Please Go Away" were the same group who turned into the Downbeats either. I thought Duke miight have confused the Majestics with the Magnetics when he said "they later changed their name to the Downbeats".

I think "that early Detroit group recorded but without release for Motown" he was referring to was not the Magnetics but the similar sounding Majestics who later changed their name to the Monitors.

Here's one you don't see too often ...

I saw that and wondered what he was thinking - that's not Etta.

Thanks for the link- really enjoyed the Jo Armstead interview.
