Harrogatesoul Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Anybody got a complete listing ? Nice little label IMO - trying to complete . Cheers! Rich
Guest Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 This is what I have listed "Talk Of The Town" were Mcfadden And Whitehead if I remember correctly. Little Dooley also came out on Red Ruby. I have or had the Love Brothers 45 somewhere. Pretty grim I think.

Harrogatesoul Posted January 14, 2006 Author Posted January 14, 2006 Many thanks Simon - Always thought there were more for some unknown reason.. Your right about the Love Brothers. Only one I dont know is the Loius Williams. Any one know if its any cop? Or price ? Cheers Rich
Soul Shrews Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Nice one Simon bit of aNorth Bay fancier myself.You're spot on with Gene Mcfaddon and the late Jqhn Whitehead being member's of Talk of the Town + John Beatty or James Knight. Also recorded as The Epsilon's on Atco Stax and Triple G record's together with Lloyd Parks (later of Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes) Think the B side of The Family's 45 ("Nation Time'') may be an embryonic "We're on the right track'' with that Norman Harris guitar. Would love more info on this cool Philly label too.
Harrogatesoul Posted January 14, 2006 Author Posted January 14, 2006 Label owned by Gamble & Huff I understand. Quite an embryonic PIR label then? Just remembered I have the Tony Cummings Philly Book from way back. Will have a look and see what it comes up with. Cheers Rich
Bigsoulman Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Little Dooley--Its Got To Be Now Or Never....pure class, should be massive Lenny
Harrogatesoul Posted January 17, 2006 Author Posted January 17, 2006 Pretty sure label NOT owned by G&H. Didnt think so either Shrew to be honest - just gleaned it from the following https://www.warnerchappell.com/wcm_2/song_s...ongId=108322700 Gotta agree with the BIGSOULMAN Lenny - the Little Dooley 45 is a belter of a 45.. Rich
Soul Shrews Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Just remembered I have the Tony Cummings Philly Book from way back. Will have a look and see what it comes up with. Cheers Rich A good read Rich. Can also recommend "A House on Fire" by John A Jackson for load's of info on early G&H label's tho' not authorised by the dynamic duo. I believe Kenny Gamble is writing his own version of the Philly sound. Bet he's got a right good tale to tell!!

PA but not sure of the year. 310 & 311 was The Love Brothers & Ike Douglas Choir. 306 & 310 I do not have the flip titles either. Are your discographies on a Disc and is it available? Respectfully, Joe
Guest Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 No one ever mentions the flip of Little Dooley-it's equally as good and has a slightly Northern tinge! If it was rare it would be very expensive instead of a tenner or less.
Guest ScooterNik Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I've got the Vibrations singles above, and I've never been sure - is it a different group to the one known best for 'Cause You're Mine & Surprise Party?
Harrogatesoul Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Though never major hitmakers, the Los Angeles-based Vibrations were consistent performers through the '60s. The lineup included James Johnson, Carl Fisher, Richard Owens, Dave Govan, and Don Bradley. They began recording as the Jayhawks, then scored a couple of novelty hits performing as the Marathons. Neither "The Watusi" nor "Peanut Butter" were particularly triumphant, but each managed to chart in both the R&B and pop markets. When they became the Vibrations in 1964, they gradually turned to more romantic material, although their first hit, "My Girl Sloopy," was closer to their previous cuts. They had their last brush with glory in 1968 with the Okeh song "Love in Them There Hills." Although Richard Owens was briefly in the Temptations in 1971, the Vibrations continued on until 1976, closing out their career as a nightclub act. From All Music Guide - Ron Hall. ** Guess like many groups in 60s soul USA - many went under the same name but in different geographical areas. Anyone else help? Both Mello Moods & Talk Of The Town recorded on Gamble . TOTT also on TSOP. Vibrations also on NEPTUNE. Since all were obviously Gamble & Huff labels would assume the Vibrations are the same group. So IS North Bay a G&H label? Judging by the sparks flying re. PIR records on another thread - wouldn't the detractors of PIR be better in here as regards to G&H output???? Regards Rich
Harrogatesoul Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Nice one shrews - hadn't heard of that book. Will source one. Saw the Cummings book going for silly money recently... Judging by the sheer amount of involvment and output of G&H a definitive account of their story would be fascinating indeed. Many thanks. Rich
Guest Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Hi <> Which is a New York lable..... Just to confuse things. Which one is the 1st issue, Red Ruby or North Bay? Cheers, Derek.
Harrogatesoul Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Hi <> Which is a New York lable..... Just to confuse things. Which one is the 1st issue, Red Ruby or North Bay? Cheers, Derek. Mmm I'd stick my neck out and say the Red Ruby .. cant find any other releases on the label and never seen one for sale.... Just seen Dooleys name up on some musicians forum in Holland?? Seem to recall a few old soulies relocating to Holland and other parts of europe Edwin Starr for ex. Regards Rich
Soul Shrews Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Think Little Dooley became Dooley Silverspoon, anyone confirm? Be interested to know if he lives in Holland cos that's where I live!!
Harrogatesoul Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Think Little Dooley became Dooley Silverspoon, anyone confirm? Be interested to know if he lives in Holland cos that's where I live!! Pretty sure he is one and the same. Was this also the same Little Dooley on KoKo? Will try and find the link to the dutch site and post up. Think yuo can contact him thru a similiar forum to this. Rich
Guest Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 All one in the same man apparently. The Red Ruby release has a New York address on it which confirms what Dek says. That plus the Bobby Martin production credit all says Red Ruby is the first release I reckon.

Surely there cant be TWO Dooley Silverspoons in this world.... See if he's got some of them KoKo 45s hanging around ... Rich
