The Yank

There's a seller on e-bay that lists almost everything as "Northern Soul" - this week he's got these classics listed as Northern. Captain Beefheart, Steely Dan, Beach Boys,Chet Atkins, Jethro Tull, Jim Croce, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Tony Bennett, Black Oak Arkansas, Yes and my favorite- "Rock Around The Clock" by Bill Haley and the Comets !!

Jerry Ragavoy redid "I Can't Wait..." with Dionne Warwick on her "Then Came You" album in 1974.

Do you have a release date for the CD yet ?

Many thanks to everyone who helped with a 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 !

Excellent choice !!

Did Patti make "Pink Cadillac"? Besides the Boss, I always associate it with Natalie Cole's version. Good choices with the Bluebelles songs !!

The cover of the EP is the same as the "Watchout" album. There are 3 songs per side. Side One has "I'm Ready For Love", "One Way Out" and "Jimmy Mack". Side Two includes "I'll Follow You", "No More Tearstained Makeup" and "Tell Me I'll Never Be Alone".

"Tell Me It's Just A Rumour Baby" was released in the U.K. as Tamla Motown TMG #877 in late 1973 .

"Girl You Need A Change Of Mind" was released in the U.S. On Tamla #54230 and in the UK on Tamla Motown # 916.

Here's a few more for the list - Marvin & Tammi - "This Poor Heart Of Mine" from "Easy"- revamped version of The Marvelettes' "Only Your Love Can Save Me" 4 Tops - "Can't Seem To Get You Out Of My Mind" from "Yesterday's Dreams" Miracles- "It's A Good Feeling" ("Make It Happen") Supremes "Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music" ("New Ways But Love Stays")

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.

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.

The Supremes' Far East tour took place in the Fall of 1966. They appeared in Tokyo, Okinawa, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Manila and also stopped at several U.S. Naval and Air Force bases.

I've read that the Creation version is the same song remixed by Bobby Martin for the U.K.

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.

I've had 4-5 copies and all of them sounded fine.

If it was released on vinyl... it wasn't legally. I agree with you, the song works much better as a Tammi solo record.

The most "Northern" Drifters record is "You've Got To Pay Your Dues"

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.

Bob Miner is still at the Record Dugout.

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 !

If you're expecting a girl, Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely".

Billy Paul - "Let's Make A Baby" PIR

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" .
