Derek Pearson Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 As somebody that's been a long time fan of label listings a thought suddenly occured to me this afternoon. Wouldn't it be a great idea if we could harness all that unbelievable array of knowledge, details, facts and figures from across all the members on here to compile listings of labels that haven't been done before? And yes I know out there in internet land a few clicks on a search button will reveal all manner of label listings from the 1960's onwards across all the states of America. But surely there must be dozens of weird and wonderful labels that haven't been documented yet - though off the top of mi head I can't think of any straight away..... (smile). What say you? derek x
Dave Moore Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Think Dave Rimmers already doing this Derek. He's certainly got a head start on anyone else! Great resource that I'm sure people appreciate. Regards, Dave https://www.soufulkindamusic.net

After reading the thread directly below this posting about the Combinations 45 I did wonder has the Kellmac label been done yet? derek
boba Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 After reading the thread directly below this posting about the Combinations 45 I did wonder has the Kellmac label been done yet? derek The Kellmac label is well documented, but I don't know anyone who has ever seen that dreams 45 and don't know what the original source of that number was.
boba Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Here is the Kellmac from Dave's site. 1002 should be Roger Paschall. Roger had a later 45 with a pic sleeve, I think he's passed away now, but also think he was a member of the summits on united international. I have a double of the Paschall title to sell / trade if there's any label collectors here. 1001 - Ruby Stackhouse - Wishing / Please Tell Me - 1965 1002 - Roger Pasll - The Shovel / Take The Stand 1003 - The C.O.D.'S - Michael / Cry No More 1004 - Paul Bascomb - Paul's Back / Michael (The Lover) 1005 - The C.O.D.'S - I'm A Good Guy / Pretty Baby 1006 - The Dreams - Young Man / Silent Gossip 1007 - The Combinations With Kenneth Wells & Band - Why / Come Back 1008 - The C.O.D.'S - I'm Looking Out For Me / I'll Come Running Back To You 1009 - Paul "Guitar Red" Johnson With Kenneth Wells Band - Red Rock / That I Love You 1010 - The C.O.D.S - She's Fire / It Must Be Love 1011 - The Combinations - Like I Never Did Before / What You Gonna Do 1012 - The C.O.D.'S - Coming Back, Girl / It Must Be Love Edited March 14, 2012 by boba
Robbk Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 After reading the thread directly below this posting about the Combinations 45 I did wonder has the Kellmac label been done yet? derek Yes, all the Kellmac numbers are filled in.
boba Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Yes, all the Kellmac numbers are filled in. Robb, have you seen the Dreams 45?
Prophonics 2029 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Is the Kenneth Wells Keni Wells? of The Impacts on DCP and is this the same Wells as New Voice. Edited March 14, 2012 by Prophonics 2029
boba Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Is the Kenneth Wells Keni Wells? of The Impacts on DCP and is this the same Wells as New Voice. no it's not the same person. this Kenny Wells was a local chicago guy whose band played on those records. He's one of the 4 owners of the Lock label (He's the "k"). He is really nice but doesn't remember the combinations.

He is really nice but doesn't remember the combinations. he also had a couple 45s under his own name and put out 3 modern 45s by a group called the gadgets
Prophonics 2029 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Cheers Bob. I had Michael, quiet a low quality recording. I am collecting one label at the moment, have 6 on it 3 very nice records 2 dancers and a moralistic ballad but keeping my Gob shut till I get more. Seen a few LP's! not sure about collecting them yet?. Edited March 14, 2012 by Prophonics 2029

Regards, Dave https://www.soufulkindamusic.net The R&B Indies 4 x volumes is one of the best things ever! Combine that with the above site and all the various internet resources dunt leave much else that's not been covered?
Chalky Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 If it helps we can archive any label discussion in sharp end of the vinyl for easy search. 1
Derek Pearson Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) On reading the Yodi label thread I suddenly thought has the Zudan label listing been done? Some right little crackers on there - Earles Inc & Symphonic Four to name but two. Also what about these labels: La Louisianne Renee (Wales Wallace, Cicero Blake etc) done Crash (Steelers) done just a thought, derek Edited March 22, 2012 by Derek Pearson
Kris Holmes Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I think La Louisianne was done on here last year. I am sure I have seen Zudan & Renee on other boards. Crash has to have been done.

Chalky Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I think La Louisianne was done on here last year. I am sure I have seen Zudan & Renee on other boards. Crash has to have been done. I've had a quick search and can't find a topic about any of those labels, maybe individual posts in sale about one or other of the labels. I can do a more in depth search when not on mobile but if anyone wishes to start a topic on those or any other then please feel free to do so. Don't forget, a topic on here can be more informative than most places, especially books. You can get sound pictures, boot details and artist details all in one place. As I said Roger I'm sure would archive any topic for easy access in Sharp End. There is alreay a fantastic about of information and knowledge in Sharp End, a great resource to go with others mentioned.
Prophonics 2029 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Oh dear Disc Dogs beat me to it. Will have to find another label to collect. https://www.globaldogproductions.info/ Edited March 15, 2012 by Prophonics 2029
Kris Holmes Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Oh dear Disc Dogs beat me to it. Will have to find another label to collect. https://www.globaldogproductions.info/ the accuracy is astounding
Kris Holmes Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Re: La Louisianne, what do you guys reckon the percentage of Cajun 45s is? Gotta be more than 50% cajun accordian shredfests on there, 75%?
Derek Pearson Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Will post up Zudan stuff shortly but don't hold y' breath..... derek Edited March 20, 2012 by Derek Pearson
Derek Pearson Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Re: La Louisianne, what do you guys reckon the percentage of Cajun 45s is? Gotta be more than 50% cajun accordian shredfests on there, 75%? Mmmm think you've a fair point there Kris - I knew next to nothing about this label apart from the odd 1 or 2 releases and then over the last 6 months or so I noticed some oddball funk things on the label fetching big figures on Ebay. There's more to this label than meets the eye I thought, wonder what else is tucked away on there, hence my suggestion. But on digging about a bit I did come across a fair few - as Kris states - cajun accordian shredfests which did sorta dampen my enthusiasm to start compiling a listing for the label somewhat. Oh well. Next. derek Edited March 22, 2012 by Derek Pearson
Derek Pearson Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Have these labels been done before? Weis (John Edwards, Forevers) Co-Co (Lou Ragland) in fact has the myriad of these small 1-2-3 release labels throughout Cleveland ever been covered in depth? Derby City (Heartbreakers) Front Page (Lee Moses) Pearltone (Freddy & Sounds Of Soul) derek
Chalky Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Not sure without looking Derek, will do so later when I get the chance. For the other listings you've posted if ok with you I'll split them and give em their own topic.
Roburt Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Dante Carfagna has just about every Cleveland soul 45 documented on his site ........ https://www.ohiosoulrecordings.com/
Chalky Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I've split the Crash and Renee labels and the talk about those labels into their own topics, they will simply get lost otherwise. Can I ask if going to talk about klabels or a family of labels to start a specific topic. Makes life much easier. Ill ask Roger to archive them sometime inthe future for safe keeping and ease of search.
45cellar Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Yes Chalky, I'm ready to Archive them in The Sharp End. I have Included them both in the Menu List.
