    The Miracles "That's What Love Is Made Of"...

    The Miracles "That's What Love Is Made Of" appeared on their US "Greatest Hits From The Beginning" LP but on none of their "regular" US LPs.

    I think the song did get a few plays on UK radio, I've been quite familiar with the song since the early '70s and I could have only heard it on the radio. I remember that a couple of years earlier...

    Actually "Passing Strangers" was from 1957, and was a reasonable hit back then [[#82 BB Hot-100, #22 UK), somehow it got caught up in the 1969 UK reissue boom and got as high as #20. Great record!!

    In Picture #12 third from the right looks suspiciously like Engelbert Humperdinck so my guess is that it was taken, possibly during rehearsals, at the 1968 Royal Variety Show in London. Petula Clark...

    H-D-H did do a reasonable attempt at replicating the Phil Spector sound at the end of '63 with The Darnells "Too Hurt To Cry". In reality "The Darnells" were The Marvelettes with a change of name...

    Ah … but if the scenery is good a long and slow train ride is a great way to spend a few hours :)

    "In & Out Of Love" peaked at #13 in The UK, slightly higher than "Love Is Here & Now You're Gone"...

    I bought the 12" of "Let's Start The Dance" when it gained a UK release back in '78 Marv2. It was one of the first [[if not THE first) 12" releases to come out on the Mercury label in the UK.

    All very true Jobeterob, but another thing to consider is that in The '60s Billboard's R&B chart only consisted of 50 or 60 records. This was expanded to 100 in 1973 so the combination of less...

    Along with The Supremes "You Can't Hurry Love", I've always thought it strange that Motown omitted the two biggest UK hits from that time period on that compilation … maybe they didn't want to damage...

    "With You I'm Born Again" did spend 29 weeks on Billboard's "Pop" Hot-100 Chart, peaking at #4, so it does sound a likely choice Marv2 …. However it didn't find much favour with the R&B crowd and...

    That did spend 27 weeks on Billboard's R&B chart jack020, but it wasn't released until 1992. :)

    I know the answer, but I cheated and looked in the book so I'm not telling.

    I've always thought that "Does Your Mama Know About Me" by BOBBY TAYLOR & THE VANCOUVERS sounds very "Philly". I can just imagine it having being done by THE INTRUDERS. 😊

    The original 1969 Gordy LP Artwork showed Frank Wilson as the producer, so presumably he put together the LP and included some material from other producers.
