Wand 45S On Vinyl

[boba]

Scepter had a lot more odd garage and rock records than Wand. I don't know how they set up their business. Maybe Wand was supposed to be a soul label but the legacy of the Kingsmen (who predated the garage / rock explosion) kept them in that scene a bit. There is a fairly rare 45 on Scepter by the Dickens, it's not as rare as some people think "50 copies distributed" but it is documented to have a limited release. Also the good Six Feet Under 45 on Scepter is fairly high demand/cost.

I thought Stemmons Express was a genuine Northern Soul record. No interest to the garage or pop-psych crowd.

 

Thanks I specifically was asking whether a record was in demand by rock collectors, I know stemmons is a "northern soul" record but I'm not sure it's not a rock record. I guess not. I didn't know there were two heavy doowop records, I only knew the jokers.

 

What prompted my post was that I got the gentlemen four and it has mild styrene distortion which annoys me, was hoping it was possible to get it on vinyl but I seriously doubt it.

Hi Ian. I don't understand what information you're quoting me proving it's Major Harris. Not saying it's not, just saying I don't understand what information you're giving me. Thanks.

It's the original Philly Groove listing which was compiled by Reid Whitelaw of Brookside Music and who formally reperesented Philly Groove. I specifically asked him about this and he's always stated that Major Harris sang lead on "Saddest Smile In Town". It seems feasible to me.....

Only ever seen Gentleman Four on styrene.

Of course Dave. Come to think of it are there regular issues of either The Anglos or The Masqueraders in this format? Think I've only ever seen WDs of either.

Anglos definitely exists as an issue and on vinyl, I had one.

Hi Kris, Most of the early ones were vinyl (including the Soul Brothers). The styrene started to become derigeur c 66.

ah, ok, couldn't remember exactly how early the Soul Brothers were, so that will explain it
