I'm probably the only one who actually likes Irene Ryan's 'No Time At All'!

I saw this set on the web this morning and have planned to buy it. It looks like it's got several tracks that haven't been included on other recent Brit Girl collections that come out.

Plus, Grapefruit (via Cherry Red) always puts out great sets on all kinds of music!

Various Artists: Really Into Somethin' - Brit Girl Sounds And Styles 1962-1970, 3CD Box Set

Looks pretty good, I would buy it just for one track. 'The Playground' - Anita Harris which has never been issued on CD just like the majority of her '60's singles!

'70's Supremes / Stoned Love [Mike Douglas Show - 1973]

'Stoned Love' [Mike Douglas Show - 1973]. It's the little twists in Jean's vocals that make this version so special.

The one & only Jean Genie. When Jean left the Supremes so did I!

Marvelettes / Re: Marvelettes Paintings
« Last post by Roger on March 04, 2026, 03:31:39 pm »
Seems that they are by a New York artist called Walter Yablonsky ...

Walter has a Facebook page full of all manner of artistic stuff ....

I think I'll give a miss on buying the paintings, but having just bought a ticket for this upcoming Friday's EuroMillions lottery (Estimated jackpot £169Million / US$200Million) who knows ... they might look good hanging in the Motown wing of my dream mansion!!   ;D

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles / Re: The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage
« Last post by Roger on March 04, 2026, 02:30:34 pm »
Presumably that was filmed at Expo '67 in Montreal, Canada, the "world fair" that was being held around the time that "Mirage" was released.

I thought that it was seriously suggested that The Tops should have Levi Stubbs name added to them but Mr Stubbs quashed the idea out of loyalty to "his boys".  I could be wrong of course but what would they have been called ... "Levi Stubbs & The Three Tops" perhaps??   ;D

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles / The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage
« Last post by humboldt on March 04, 2026, 12:48:58 pm »
'The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage' live. One of my favourites, reached #20 US (#10R&B) but failed to chart in the UK! Was their first single to be released as 'Smokey Robinson & The Miracles'. This was the beginning of lead singers getting their name upfront like Ross and Martha who had Reeves added. David Ruffin is reported to have been furious when Gordy refused his request for his name to be put in front of the Temptations. For once I agree with Gordy as Eddie was just as important. I'm not sure if Levi was approached re his name going out in front of the Four Tops but I'm sure that he would have declined. I never heard of a similar approach to the Marvelettes who of course like the Temptations had two lead singers Wanda & Gladys although the latter was on her way out!

A couple of interesting original paintings of the Marvelettes which will set you back about £800 each!
