boba Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 obviously it would be huge (with lots of stuff that isn't soul) but anybody ever attempt this? I would love to see one. Thanks.
Mace Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Theres a substantial but incomplete listing on link below....plus lots of discogs for other Latin labels... https://reynaldo82.blogspot.com/2009/02/partial-fania-45-discography-additions.html
boba Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 awesome thanks so much. i added a number in the comments...
Dean Rudland Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Bob that list hasn't been updated for a while despite me giving him a big list of additions. I've got a more complete list PM me your email and I will send it to you. Dean
Morgan Nixon Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 I've been working for a long time on a Fania 45s discography if anyone is interested in contributing please reply here or PM me! Much respect, Morgan
The Yank Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 There is a large (3000 +) listing of Fania's releases (45's, albums , casettes) on discogs.
Morgan Nixon Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Yes many releases missing from Discogs unfortunately! I hope to contribute many to help alleviate this eventually as well. 1

Much respect, Morgan Look forward to that Morgan hope you have listed some of the lesser known cuts that make this such a tremendous logo to collect,would love to see the complete listing when done,also Uptight records also if you are working on that ?
Dean Rudland Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Hi Morgan, when I was working for Fania, I compiled a pretty comprehensive 45 discography. There are a few gaps pre-66, but I feel they might be due to their peculiar early numbering system. I think Uptite ran to 24 records and they are all listed on discogs. It's worth noting that #1 in that numbering series appeared on a Fania label.

You the person to ask Is it likely that there were cuts with reserve numbers that never made it to press as with other labels ?

For Uptite I don't think so. It was pretty specifically designed as an outlet to get Fania's more soul recordings onto R&B radio, which ignored Fania as a latin label. Most of the titles appeared on Fania albums at the same time.

Dean Rudland Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 I've just looked through my list and Morgan's and I think very few if any. There were unreleased tracks, but none of them seem to have been scheduled as singles. There was also a surprisingly low number of unreleased tracks considering the overall size of the catalogue. I think this was because the label recorded album projects, and just recorded enough tracks for a release. I suppose the most famous unreleased project was Joe Bataan's final album that resulted in the mono / promo single of Latin Soul Square Dance. I had a TP of a double sided single, with 'Call Me' on the other side, but it was thought until recently there was no stock copy. But even with that one has now turned up. 2

Thanks Dean I believe (not 100% sure) that the "Charles" label and "Genuine Records Inc." were possibly connected to Unity, is this true please ?

Morgan Nixon Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Anyone know any of these below? These are the only ones I haven't been able to figure out.
