[Harry Crosby]

Hi all, has anyone got, or know where i can get a WEE3 listing please

[soulsalmon]

Been looking myself H,cant find one anywhere,both the records on wheelsville are dated @1966

[John Reed]

Thought there were only three releases

1000 - Lil' Soul Brothers - Been So Long / Blank

1001 - Fabulous Peps - With These Eyes / I've Been Trying

1002 - Buddy Lamp - Confusion / I Wanna Go Home

[Jaco]

Just the 3 per R & B Indies

1000 Lil Soul Brothers - "Been so long/What can it be"

1001 Fabulous Peps - "With thses eyes/I've been trying"

1002 Lil Soul Brothers - "I've got heartaches/What can it be"

R & B Indies doesn't show Buddy Lamp but Manships guide shows it as 1002 and Lil Soul Brothers on Wee 3 but with no number.

Confusing.

Thanks John & Jaco

Some pics from popsike which seem to be from the same seller.

Was the label a part of D-TOWN, WHEELSVILLE ?

[soulsalmon]

I would have thought so Harry

Just wondered if it was an indipendant that had been bought out dave. Good question that one this morning never really thought about it before

_{These tracks were on the Soul-Tay-Shuns CD Northern Souljers Meet Hi-Rhythm which were linked to Willie Mitchell's Royal Studio in Memphis}

the writing credit on what can it be is cody black,could have been moonlighting,happened a lot,or reissued due to better distribution deal ?

I always thought so (at least, in terms of being pressed and distributed by D-Town/Wheelsville USA and their distributor). I think they had different ownership (which may, or may not have had Mike Hanks as a partner). If I had to bet, I might bet that he WASN'T a partner, despite many of his staff working for Wee3. But, I'd bet that, functionally, they were a part of the D-Town/Wheelsville USA operations. I don't remember seeing MAH's Music as publisher, or even co-publisher on any songs on Wee 3.
