very nice track from 1981 Miami.

you will never see this record, so go ahead and laugh that it's cracked in three places.

killer r&b jam, but this one is cracked. oooof!

--notes: i know, tick is annoying on tobi lark, it's because it's badly cracked. september jones jumps once at the end because i stepped on my cat's tail and fell onto the turntables.

a little over 50% of these forgotten singles are from my home state of Michigan. i think we're lucky to live here, with all the fresh water and minerals. consider their extrordinary affects on these recordings, and many others. fresh water and minerals!

also, you had music in the schools, k through 12.

the huge influence of music in the church.

paul paray led the detroit symphony orchestra to high heights, and these players colored the background on many tracks.

as the center of the still thriving u.s. auto industry, engineering and tinkering also ran in our blood. the studios were advanced for their time, (or any other), and magic happend, and was beautifully and creatively captured.

and because of motown, many people saw their huge success, and wanted a shot. albums were more expensive to produce, but just to get our best song on a 45?

also, a third of these are promotional copies. i love it how the british say it. demos! i don't know if anyone really so much bought these records.

straight off the basement floor, the discarded box in the alley, the burned rafters, the moldy warehouse, etc:

the sharpets - lost in a world of a dream (sound city)
tobi lark - lots of heart (u.s.d.)
barbara mercer - call on me (sidra)
lillian dupree - i've got a shield around my heart (d-town)
bobbie smith - miss stronghearted (american arts)
the debonaires - headache in my heart (solid hit)
frankie brent - what happens to love
the fawns - nothing but love can save me (capcity)
dee dee sharp - what kind of lady (gamble)
betty moorer - speed up (wand)
velvelettes - lonely lonely girl am i (v.i.p.)
betty lloyd - i'm catching on (bsc)
sonji clay - i can't wait until i see my baby's face (songee)
sunday - ain't got no problems (alteen)
denise chandler - i'm walking away (toddlin' town)
the chantels - indian giver (verve)
september jones - i'm coming home (kapp)
pat lewis - warning (solid hit)
chris clark - love's gone bad (v.i.p.)

even rarer than the Tribe's lp's ~ and one of their hardest hitting sides. and on Scott Craig's massive Searching For Soul comp on Ubiquity. hats off to legendary drummer George Davidson!

460>_680861

all three sides associated with this one are a winner. they tried to push calling the former Cass Corridor "Mid Town" but it totally never happened.

460>_680862

got this single from his daughter. the Lamp Sisters turn out to be her aunts.

what's up with these weird stickers sometimes found on the master label?
some weird cover up conspiracy? i don't get it.

460>_680865

mick collins said i bet they're named after the street. does it gross you out when people call songs things like 'boogiers' on ebay? a mispronunciation could be deadly.

460>_680866

i like the steely dan cover the best, of course

460>_680868

impossibly rare k-zoo group, recorded at Uncle Dirty's Sound Machine, the same studio the Prepositions used.

460>_680870

Fantastic Four frontman out in front again, with help from JJ Barnes, and Hermon Weems.

hard to decide which side is better on this one.

460>_680875

Seems pretty unknown; same label as Spider Turner, 4 Hollidays, and Ster-phonics? Will put the other side up soon.
