Sleeps45 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 $75-$125 for ex or better give or take..one question I have is where was the group from?
Chalky Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I remember someone saying they knew the names of the singers once. Anyway this might be of interest..... found the above some time ago on the Soul Detective (Red Kelly) website. 1
boba Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I have a photo somewhere, would have to find it and scan it. I think the group is from NYC. 1

Robbk Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) I seem to remember reading that Jobettes' record was from Indiana (but it wasn't listed on The Indiana Soul website. Kevin Knox was a Canadian entertainer. His company (with Ltd. in the title), must have been a Canadian company. But the record was a US pressing. Edited February 22, 2012 by RobbK

Chalky Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 The scan says everything with kevin Knox Ent indicates New York so would assume th group from there as well. Would assume it is the NY Jobette Office taking the action against Knox?
Chalky Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 https://souldetective2.blogspot.com/2011/03/question-seven-tommy-young-no.html Above is the link to the page, it is about a single "No Explanation" by Tommy Young (Tommie Young), I've not listened yet but wondered if same record. There are a few references to Paul Kirk and the Kevin Knox company and to Kevin Knox.

boba Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I think the sweet soul side is what someone should push now in a general soul forum like ebay or facebook. it's a great track and there's lots of sweet soul collectors. 1

Agreed Bob, used to play the 'What You Gonna Do' side out lots 15-20 years ago. Sean 1
