Denbo Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Just wondering if anybody out there can tell me if they have, or have ever seen, a copy of Doc Bagby's - Dumplins / Sylvia's Callin' on a 7" 45, as opposed to a 10" 78?
Guest brivinyl Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 As far as I'm aware this only got a UK release on 78. Many years ago some one told me that some of the Fontana 78s did get released on 45s for juke box operators only (i.e. - no commercial release), I kept hoping that the Doc Bagby and also the Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You (which was also a Fontana 78) might turn up as a juke box releases but no luck !!!
Roburt Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Doc Bagby was around on the US music scene for many many years. He even backed up Tommy Hunt, the Shirelles, Linda Hopkins & Kenny Hamber on a show at a Brooklyn Theatre in the early 60's. When not on tour, he seemed to bounce between Philly & New York.
Roburt Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Dog Bagby on a US 45 ........... Is the VIM 45 version (issued about 7 years later) the same cut or a re-recording ? Edited December 13, 2012 by Roburt
Roburt Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Doc Bagby (along with Bob Crewe) was a major player from 1962 thru to the mid 60's for Perri Records. Perri Records released both singles and albums in the pop, rock & roll, soul, jazz and classical fields. Their first singles featured Doc Bagby, Byrdie Green and George Smith. Richard Osias was the president of the label. Doc also worked on cuts for the likes of Don Gardner (“Dog Eat Dog” on Tifton) & the Nite Riders (Sue). Was the Perri label that was part of the ALA Enterprises set-up (of 663 5th Ave, NY) in early 1967 the same label as that above ?? Edited December 13, 2012 by Roburt
Biggordy Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 There's a great version of "Dumplins" by Byron Lee & The Dragonaires on a UK Bluebeat 45.
Gene-r Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Tony Rounce is most likely to know the answer. Edited December 13, 2012 by Gene-R
Denbo Posted December 13, 2012 Author Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) I've already had a very informative response from Tony, who has been reliably informed the same as what brivinyl said. But like I said to Tony, I'm keeping one eye open just in case. Edited December 14, 2012 by denbo
