Info Please - Jerry G. & Co - Clevetown

[Swifty]

Bought this blind off e-bay and arrived today . Mine is a Black & White label vg++

and the only other copy I could find was on youtube but is a Pale Blue & Black label.

The other thing is the JERRY G. & CO text is a lot smaller on the youtube one.

I dont really know anyting about this except the info thats on youtube.

Can anyone enlighten me i.e. has it been played out? Value? has it been booted?

Not even heard it yet ?

Cheers

There's at least two different pressing plants used on this, the first one done at Pama in Cleveland, the second done in Chicago, I think the place was Ter-Mar or something like that. The two different labels are original 60s pressings. Almost every Clevetown label 45 has a blue and white pressing, Ricky Hodges is one of the very few that are on blue only. This is the most common local label 45 from Cleveland (other than the Bocky and the Visions records on Redda), it sold 1000s. I'm surprised that it has any value other than nostalgic for people in NE Ohio. Jerry G was a DJ in Cleveland before he moved to Chicago where he's most often remembered. The backing musicians included members of Cleveland bands including the Statesmen (although not all of them played on it), the drummer was a member of a different band, he also did a lot of engineering at Audio Recording in Cleveland (where the record was cut). There's a couple other different recordings of "She's Gone" that are on acetate or tape only. It's a pleasant record in the NE Ohio greaser style.

Nice one George , great info , to be honest the only reason I bid on it was that I saw a dealer had it up

for about £75 and thought I'd take a punt at it. Also since found that Pat Brady had this at £40 but said that it had

at some point fetched £500 !

Thanks again mate
