I believe the group did another NYC Sears signing in early 1967. This was the infamous ramp one where Diana hammed it up.

According to Tony Tina Turner, the August 1966 album signing was at Stern's Department store--a now-defunct NY/NJ/PA chain. I don't think I've ever heard anywhere else that it was Sears. Stern's was where the infamous ramp story supposedly occurred.

thanks danman..ive amended the original post as a Sterns store appearance..i dont doubt the "Infamous ramp story" occurred - Mary writes of the incident in "Dream Girl" which is nearly exactly as Turner's telling of the account..hey if you have batwings ya gotta use em !!
