Who don't smoke, who don't drink, who don't fool with no woman but me...


Those who've been hanging around here awhile will know that I'm absolutely nuts about Mable John. So guess what? I finally found a [reasonably priced] copy of her second 45. Thing is two different versions of the a-side were released on two different records each with different matrix numbers, one with strings, the other without.....and of course I want both of them both. Make a nice post wouldn't it, both versions?

Anyway, the b-side is the same on both 45's, and luckily it's a great one too. Word is that the Supremes are on back up vocals on some of these early Tamla/Motown cuts. I'm wondering if this isn't one of them.

Hope ya'll enjoy....

  3. Derek...great minds and all.

    It's actually pretty stupid of me to lust after the version of "No Love" without strings, but I do. Ya know, hard to resist given that it's possibly one of my favorite songs ever.

  5. Anon...The link works just fine for me. Perhaps it's a temporary problem on your end?
