boba Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 does anyone have a copy of this that they can record for a group member? I have the side that got released as the Twilites, I just need the "Come rain or come shine" side. I don't think it was on any of the m-pac comps. I remember seeing this once on ebay like 5 years ago, listed without a photo in VG-, and losing it for $5 thinking I would see it again, I guess not... I could also use scans of both sides. If anyone has a copy they want to sell me or trade (I have a copy of the Twilites to trade) let me know also. Thanks in advance for any help.

Wrongcrowd Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 bump I've collected M-Pac for more years than I can remember, and I've never seen the Rainbows 45.....are you certain you saw one on eBay ? I've always thought it was an unreleased number.

I don't think there was some company catalog that the info came from, I think that it's all from people's records.

I don't think there was some company catalog that the info came from, I think that it's all from people's records. Charly Records in the UK definitely had a company produced list of all the releases on M-Pac!, One-Derful, and Mar-V-Lus when they started releasing stuff from those three labels. So I'm afraid you are wrong,

So I'm afraid you are wrong, ok thanks for clarifying. then that list (the one on your website) is missing the twilites record. This one: I also could use a scan of the rainbows record and audio of the missing rainbows side for the group member, assuming it does actually exist. The liner notes to the Charly comp were the ones written by Bob Pruter, right? For that CD they mastered off of Bob Stallworth's copy of the Twilites record so they didn't do it off any masters and in Pruter's doowop book he only mentions two twilites sides on m-pac (he didn't know about the Rainbows side). So if Charly did produce that discography, it conflicted with the info of the guy writing the liner notes to the CD as well as the source of the material on the CD. Thanks in advance for any help.

I said Charly had the list from the States. I didn't say I had the list from Charly though, but thanks for the addition.

I didn't say I had the list from Charly though, but thanks for the addition. one final bump. can anyone confirm the existence of this record? if no one has this, I will assume I am confused and I didn't see this before (I definitely didn't see a photo) and it doesn't exist for now. The group member did remember the name the "rainbows" however (he said andre williams came up with the name) and remembered the song. He thought both m-pac records were unreleased and remembered recording even more songs at m-pac that were unreleased and remembered the titles. M-pac didn't release many duplicate records with the same catalog number also so that's more evidence against a "rainbows" record, it would be cool if someone could confirm its existence. Thanks.
