An actual Geordie address [[and slightly wrong at that, it's Queen's Road)?!? Coupled with the non-Ralph email address, that seems ridiculously stupid. I feel for you guys.

Wow, how cool! Thanks for that jsmith. Who in the world is Charles Griffin?! Did they mean Johnny Griffith?
Interesting! I had no idea Joe Hunter was involved with Pied Piper, I'd only heard of Jack Ashford and Lorraine Chandler being involved.
BBQs Saturday and Sunday with all of my best mates. Painting the bedroom both mornings. Recording sessions Monday and Tuesday [[why celebrate a 3-day weekend when you can make it a 4-day weekend...
Cool Jerk!
I know them only from reading a ton of stuff about him - I was born in '72!
Thanks so much, acooolcat! I believe it was an Ashford label as well, just like his Ashord imprint - they shared the same address, which was his. Now to track down those other releases.
Hey SDF!
I recently received in the mail a really nice copy of a 45 on Triple "B" Records out of Detroit, Johnny Griffith's "Do It" b/w "I Want Some Satisfaction". The label shows it was produced...
LOVE Billy Eckstine's voice and early material; his Motown stuff not so much, unfortunately. I have several of his 78s. He suffered the same fate as folks like Jonah Jones - really substandard...
Yes, I meant publisher. I blame the lack of coffee. =)
Interesting that there's no mention of this tune on Levi's page on BMI. Must be rare as hen's teeth.
Interesting to see Levi listed as writer and producer on that second 7" single!
Oh man, I feel you. I've always been a record collector. A housefire destroyed my entire collection at one point in the mid-90s, and I've been rebuilding since - I shudder to think how much stuff...
My personal favorite:
We Can Work It Out - The Beatles / Stevie Wonder
Beatles tune is great, Stevie's version is astounding.
YES! You are awesome, uptight! The absence of that tree definitely threw me off.
Actually, I'm wondering if the Google street view can solve this for me using your info above. It's obvious which house was THE Motown building, can anyone tell me what the other addresses were?
Ah! That would make perfect sense, certainly more sense than my idea.
Somewhere I have the "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown" book but I haven't been able to find it. In that book I remember...
Hey SD!
Pulled out the fantastic Four Tops "Reach Out" DVD the other day to see how my new speakers sounded and ended up watching it for the 714th time. I seriously think it may be the best one...
