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 ??

"Old Ladies Music". Superb.

[Sebastian]

All sides on the two Vernon Garrett 45s are monumental. One of them:

[Sebastian]

George E. Lee - Dance What You Wanna - KAPP 530

[Sebastian]

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

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

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.

My favourites include all of Lenny Welch's output and 45s by....

Chi Chi,

Revels,

Sissie Houston

Sound Judgement

Although i love the Vernon Garrett 45, my fave on Kapp is still this one:

Only seen two issues of this for sale, all the others are white demos.

[Dean]

SteveL - if we ever do that oldies dance spot, I'll have this. From where it began for me:

[Dean]

Bit of a marmite record, at the moment I like it but if I heard it out twice I'd soon go off it!

[Dean]

Oooh those Attic nights!

[Guest Brooky]

Especially good when they're Mint!!!!!

[Northern Soul Uk]

Especially good when they're Mint!!!!!

On the subject, I see you have listed a copy of 'Patti & The Emblems'. How is it possible to tell an original promo, from one of the re-presses?

[Guest Brooky]

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.

THE WHOLE SOUL SUPERMAN ALBUM IS THE BUISNESS.

[Guest]

Via Pye UK...their, 'Hand clapping...' album also gained a US Kapp release

[Guest]

Fab...the pair of 'em

[John Reed]

Surely they dont get much better than this fine pair of consecutive Kapps

[Kev Cane]

Turn it over Dean

Rubin featured here as a new release ......

Billboard - 11 Nov 1967 - Page 12

Jerry Williams composed the flip side but Jerry doesn't recall who Rubin actually was

[Dean]

Only posting as a label curiosity . . . unless of course you want it, in which case it's an exclusive hard to find dance floor monster, just right for today's scene

[Dean]

Less of a joke -

[Smudger]

Turn it over Smudger

Yep! great double sider. but i prefer is it possible

[Northern Soul Uk]

Phew!

[Sebastian]

If it's got delta number 103291 in the run-out groove then it's the repro/bootleg.

[Northern Soul Uk]

Thank you Sebastian, I will let you know when it arrives

[Northern Soul Uk]

No, hasn't got that number Sebastian, just K-11127-4, and K-11126-4 on flip, scratched in to run out.

[Northern Soul Uk]

Can anyone please confirm that this is an original copy?

Thank you

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!

[kevinsoulman]

great goffin / king song
