Promo 45s are a whole other story, as indicated by Sup_Fan and 144Man. I have all kinds of variations on those. I have a promo of Bad Weather (I think, that or Touch) with the mono on one side and...

I've never seen a promo that wasn't an exact copy of the consumer release. The point was to give to radio stations for air play, swag to promote the label, etc. Having alternative releases would have...

I have it. It's identical to the consumer release. Mine doesn't even have a white label. Just embossed stamp "For promotional use only, Property of Motown Records".

Especially poignant this current month!

The repressed (new) stuff is not nearly as good as the original vinyl. It skips right out of the sleeve, scratches much easier, and there is often very bad compression on the high-end. Often these...

I just love Ms. Greene. I hope she is taking good care of herself.

May He Rest in Peace.

Bootleggers don't care who they rip off to make a fast buck!

I'm as peeved at Universal as anyone else here, but don't take it out on the artists by buying their bootlegged work and denying them even the small slice of income they get through licensed/official...

like alcohol...

I just can not believe it. I just can't. I'm really having a hard time letting Mary go. I keep listening to "Don't Let My Teardrops Bother You". She was so special. I miss you Mary. I hope you Rest...

What a great question. I can only hope she had good legal advice and had them in her will. These are now part of our cultural heritage. I hope she bequeathed them to an African American museum...

MB, I didn't see Shantel Baker and Pearlie Salters on your list. Or were they with the Supremes? :cool:

I just broke out my Japanese high quality vinyl copy of High Energy which I usually keep shelved due to its pristine condition. This is a very poignant song. Still so hard to listen to. I can't...

That was so generous and kind of Martha. May she continue to be healthy!

Do you think Mary read any of the posts about her? I thought most of the actual people who we write about knew better than join the crazies!!!

I have to agree, Ran. I never thought we'd get a reunion of any sorts, but as long as Mary kept the flame alive, the Supremes were still around. Now with her gone it kinda feels like it's over. And...

This is very difficult to listen to today.

I JUST downloaded her Youtube video yesterday. Now I'm downloading news of her death. I am so depressed.

Still can’t believe it’s true. Of all the things to wake up and see. I do like how CNN showed her with the (almost) first group and the last....

What a shock! I’m just stunned. May She Rest In Peace.

Yes, but how does one insulate long-term assets from external shocks, such as COVID, or errant fiscal policies from governments bent on undervaluing their currencies. I would like Mary or Diana to...

I think you mean the fact that he's "brave" enough. LOL! Andy seems to have given up on us, quite understandably so.

The other ones that are highly sought after and valuable are her original Brunswicks (not the reissues on red Columbias). An original "Your Mother's Son-in-Law" just sold on eBay for $395 and wasn't...

She's one of my all time favorites as well. I just found this after YEARS of searching. Royal Blue Columbia 78rpm from 1933. Her very first recording. With Benny Goodman. (Not my original photo)....
