North Bay Full Discography

[phillyDaveG]

OK, I thought I'd start posting up some of the Mighty Three (Gamble/Huff/Bell) label discographies that I did for the Philadelphia International 40th anniversary box set.

For those of you who don't have this wonderful 10 CD box set it comes complete with an accompanying high quality glossy 60 page booklet including full vinyl/cd discographies for all 13 Mighty Three owned/financed labels. Including 45s, & LPs (with sequenced track listings).

I held back from posting these for a while as a courtesy to Demon/PIR, until the rush for the box set was over.

I'm not sure, but I may have posted the North Bay 1 before, but here goes anyway;

Bobby Fulton played me this "unreleased" track that he had produced by Little Dooley called "Memories" a few years ago. i tentatively told him that it had been released (twice) He had no idea it had come out!

That's surprising, the record writer is credited as Bobby Fulton. Prod/arr by Bobby Martin.

He didn't seem too happy, I think he was angling to get it released, but had "missed the boat"

Yes that one's a cracker. Probably my favourite on the label along with Mellow Moods "Tell love hello".
