Combinations- "what Cha Gonna Do" - Price ?
So if a copy showed up in vg/vg+ condition. what do you think it would go for? Checked the usual supects (Popsike, Collector's Frenzy, Mr. M's) and can't find any record of a sale. I know what it guides for but in the real world what do you think it would bring ? ps- I don't have one !

Patti Labelle - (Artist Of The Week)
Did Patti make "Pink Cadillac"? Besides the Boss, I always associate it with Natalie Cole's version. Good choices with the Bluebelles songs !!

The Originals / Freddie Gorman - (Artist Of The Week)
There's also an unreleased version of "The Bells" by Bobby Taylor over the rhythm track of "Baby I'm For Real" that made me feel like I was in a parallel universe the first time I heard it.

Ebay Madness Again
This seller has been listing the 45 on and off for at least a year. I guess no one has taken advantage of the bargain price.

Marv Tarplin RIP
Very sad news- also co-wrote many classic tracks- "Ain't That Peculiar", "Going To A Go Go", "Tracks of My Tears" off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many more.

According to Terry Wilson's book "Tamla Motown", Dave Godin felt that since he already had the TMAS and the Stateside releases carried the "A Tamla - Motown Production", he felt that Motown should use that name for all U.K. releases. Berry Gordy proposed the idea to EMI who okayed the new label.

I like the pizza at Leona's. Would agree with you about Lou Malnatis. Wouldn't recommend Giordano's though- had one of the worst pizzas and worst service at the one near Rush- might have been an off night though. You've got some good leads- good luck on your visit !

Which Northern Track You Dislike The Most
The one that really does me in the Frankie and the Classicals "What Can I Do"- her voice is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard for me. Also- "Moonlight Music In You" .
