Best Three Records On Labels That Are One-Offs

[boba]

Chico Lamar, What Do You Think I Am, Fuller

I did think Pat & The Blenders on Fast Eddie, but discogs have another record on it. 

 

there are a bunch of releases on fuller and sister label C&F.

 

pat and the blenders already have two records on fast eddie, i think there is a record by butterball (the philly DJ) on it and at least one other thing

Really, I've never had the pleasure...anything any good?

Isn't the Eric Mercury SAC the same label as the other Chicago SACK ? Although the Eric Mercury has a long run in groove the other SACK'S seem to be of the same manufacturing styles must be a near connection .

The question should probably read 'best three records on labels that are one-offs'. For most of these, there is no 'label', it's a vanity recording paid for by the artist or a benefactor close to the artist.

 

Been thinking about this... I think there is a subtle difference between a 'vanity' release and a label with a solitary release.

Some records were pressed up for friends, family and fun, with no serious intension of actual sales...these are the true 'vanity' discs, for want of a better term. Then there is the infamous single-release on a label, which was seriously pitched at gaining sales and potential interest from a larger label with more distribution muscle...but sank without trace until the vinyl hounds came sniffing!

Alas, how to tell these apart requires input from the artists, so we won't be able to clarify the majority!

Paging boba!

Yes, Eric relocated to Chicago from Canada, but not sure the release time frames match up,,,the credits don't appear to and as you pointed out the pressing plants certainly don't match up. Sac/Sack name coincidence, or is there something more and sinister!?!

Hi Rob

There's a tune by Billy Prince and the wonderously titled Porky Chedwick - Porkology/Can I change my mind on Green Dolphin also one by Joey G

On SAC  Paul Varisco & Milestones

On Holly  Ronnie North and also Robert Epps   probably not the Billy Arnell  Holly though

 

That's a different much later and different Green Dolphin label, and yes that's also not the Billy Arnell Holly.

What's the title of that Paul Varisco?

Nat T Jones.

Other releases on Goliath - don't know if it's the same Goliath though

and Justine 'Baby' Washington is J-2 1301

 

Nu-Ron's looks good though mate

 

This is a lot more difficult than it seems ain't it? especially when trying to think of Classics

What about Kavetts on Len Dre?

[Tiberius]

For Tim Harris you could also add the Timco release of the song and possibly the Menzola 45 too, although I'm sure I''ve seen something else on Menzola.

 

Anything else on OM apart from The Oracles?

JOB Orquestra on OM

Herman Griffin & Gerry Jackson on Stone Blue

Another 3 releases on Lamon

another 3 releases on Masterpiece  - don't know if they are the Sandy Golden label though

 

How about  Felony Theft  on Mijarelix  not really a classic yet though

[Tiberius]

JOB Orquestra on OM

Herman Griffin & Gerry Jackson on Stone Blue

Another 3 releases on Lamon

Pretty sure JOB Orquestra is a different OM label to The Oracles.  Oracles is Hollywood, JOB Orquestra New York?

A few more to test out:

Moments - Hog

Joey Delorenzo - Mi-Val

Johnny Vanelli - Pre-Vue

Ralph Graham - Upfront

[George G]

Herman Lewis on Stone Blue is a one off - the flip (Right Direction, not released on Mercury) is credited to HL and Gerri Jackson. I remember when the producer of the 45 called me (back in the 1980s) he said he was from "Stone Blue Music (or Productions)"!
