fixbutte 15th Mar 2017		www.globaldogproductions.com is a very unreliable source relating to release dates, and in this case it is disproved completely by the Anna Records ad in Billboard of Jan 4, 1960 (as linked by PhilMH on Oct 15, 2015), which I have now uploaded here.



srercrcr 15th Mar 2017		www.globaldogproductions.com states Mar 60



fixbutte 15th Oct 2015		45cat has Nov 1959 without any source, but anyway we don't need a month here as long as we don't know for sure.



Record Collector 15th Oct 2015		August 1959



fixbutte 15th Oct 2015		Anyway, it was already a "smash" in the Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, and Atlanta areas according to the ad in Billboard of Jan 4, 1960, so the entered "Mar 1960" date is definitely incorrect, and I'll change it to 1959.



PhilMH 15th Oct 2015		Billboard ad.



PhilMH 15th Oct 2015		Correction - entered the R&B chart the week of January 25th 1960, and the Hot 100 the following week, February 1st. The ad was in the 4th January 1960 issue, which I'll go and retrieve in a minute, but there was an Aussie 45 issue at least, London 45-HL-1622.



Record Collector 15th Oct 2015		No Aussie issue ahhhhhhyeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa



PhilMH 15th Oct 2015		Definitely late 1959 for the Anna release - I came across an ad for it in Billboard a little while ago - and in any case it entered the charts in the second half of February 1960. The March 1960 date has appeared on one or two Motown CD collections, I haven't been able to pin down where they got that date from!



Neil Forbes 15th Oct 2015		I think the year is a bit out. Try 1959 for size! It was Shop Around by The Miracles that took the Tamla label to national distribution later that same year.

srercrcr 16th Jan 2015		Sold at auction for $2,000 in 2014....



srercrcr 16th Jan 2015		Bill... the Tamla release was just for Detroit area as I understand it. Not enough volume to justify production of 78s I presume. Anna had national distribution, they wanted to cover the US in 45s and 78s, since it was a HIT.....Thx, Steve



Bill Fick 15th Jan 2015		Never even seen one outside of photographs. One of the last 78s (if not THE last) made in the US, not counting special one-off releases. Funny how this is on 78 & the original issue on Tamla wasn't.



srercrcr 11th Jan 2015		More rare than oxygen on Jupiter!!
