I think the correct name is Questel (see attachment). A mistake on the label ?

Tim just added the original and several covers of On the Good Ship Lollipop to the database! Thanks!

And thanks Flip for all work done to uncover the original and covers of this Song of The Century !

21 originals and 6 releases to go

Quote from Pattaya Martin

There was a song called 'What's Love Got to Do With It' released as the 'B' Side

to a Single by Chap on Lo Recordings Cat No LO707 in 2008 in the UK.

Never heard it, but an unusual title to be different. Anybody know anything?

Hi Martin !

A bit off topic but The Chap released a cover of Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It" (not in the database yet); only 300 copies were released. A link and a video to answer your question.

I haven't forgotten about the missing originals. I added Swanee about six weeks ago.

...and What's Love Got to Do With It added by Bastien on 2004-06-21 ??

I've added The Chap's cover, thanks Erik.

and No Scrubs was added by Isa on 2013-06-30

and I've added Bills, Bills, Bills a few months back, unaware it was on the list.

Stumbled over this old thread. What a lot of work, Eric!

In the meantime The Stars and Stripes Forever (#20 in the BMI list!) was added by artsinspired in 2014 and What's Love Got to Do with It by Walt a year earlier.

Maybe you could have a look at your missing songs list one day and update it..........
