Kapp - (Label Of The Week)


Recommended Posts

Kapps a weird label; loads & loads of MOR stuff - old ladies music, old orchestras, etc .... and then the great soul stuff !!!

Who owned & ran the label and just what was their game plan for the label ...... ANYONE KNOW ??

My all-time favourite 45 on KAPP is however an early one by Ronnie James Dio (yes, that guy) from 1965. A tune penned by Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann called "Where You Gonna Run To, Girl". Hardly soul by any stretch of the imagination, but a fantastic track if you're into Brill Building pop. :)

Surely something within Billboard to cut'n'paste :lol:

I know there is a mention of them signing a Mr.Rubin Parker ...I have it within my piles of said magazines. :thumbsup:

Hard to imagine the connection between the artist as he later became and such a great track.

Amongst my favourites would be the Exits - "Another sundown in Watts" a sublime piece of soul music.

Hi Steve

I'm not an expert but the repro's/boots have a black 'A' . Also I think that I have seen repro's with a red 'A' (think these have appeared relatively recently) that are so obviously duds that it's immediately apparent that they are not original.

Someone like Pete S could probably give you chapter and verse.

In your opinions, would you say that this is an original promo please?

Genuine.

If anyone has got a mint looking promo that sadly plays all the way through with a hiss, then maybe it's my old copy...it got damaged when I DJed with it one time. Shame really as I had bought that copy from Russ Winstanley straight off the decks at one of the final Casino nighters!! Almost wish I had kept it now for sentimental reasons!
