Pete S Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 British... RnB label... only did about 6 records. Don't be daft, they did over 50 releases before changing their name to Ska Beat.
Pumpkinseed Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 the question is rarest label, not your favorite rare label. artco releases are way rarer than teri de releases. Did I ever mention it was my favorite label ? , how many copies have you seen for sale of " Jimmy Gresham & Leonard Jewell " ? ................don't tell me .....dozens of copies . So stick that in ya pipe and smoke it !
Soulhawk Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 mars-la-tour wasn't even close to being a soul label, right? seems like it was a custom studio / label that released mostly country this thread is pretty silly
Pete S Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 seems like it was a custom studio / label that released mostly country this thread is pretty silly Very silly. There must be thousands of labels who released just one record, a soul record, then folded, they are all the 'rarest label'. 1
Soulhawk Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I spy with my little eye a rare soul label
boba Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Did I ever mention it was my favorite label ? , how many copies have you seen for sale of " Jimmy Gresham & Leonard Jewell " ? ................don't tell me .....dozens of copies . So stick that in ya pipe and smoke it ! way more than I've seen of the traditions on artco. why are you getting worked up over a post on an internet forum? chill out.
boba Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 this thread is pretty silly I agree. I think it makes more sense for labels that had larger runs of records that are mostly all rare though. That's not gonna work out here though.
Swaggy Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I know that for you Brits, "rare" is what has survived to this day, not what existed during the years of the records' releases and the few years later. But, it's hard for me to think of records as rare, when I saw many of them back in the day. Yes Rob we take rare as meaning what we can get our hands on now you had more access when they were new releases, i would say Shrine is the rarest label for the shear amount of quality releases it made during a short life span, Talk has it that when Shrine pressed their singles they were sent to a distribution warehouse which burnt to the ground thus all those were lost and never repressed due to cost.

Frankie Crocker Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 How about Lou-Neita Records from College Park, Georgia - tracks by The Bishop featured in Manny's Million Dollars of Rare Soul book; Thelma Wilson, rare and seen in a company sleeve; and Gina Hill, lowly valued in Manship #6 on a green and orange label design. Not aware of other releases on the label - are there any?
Dazz Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Assault, before Shrine Linda & Pretenders 5 records that I know about but must be more due to the numbering

Shrine is looking like a mid-size indie label these days with weekly auctions and plenty available at set sale. Sure it is a highly collectible label with some mega scarce releases, but no longer the rarest label as it was billed twenty years ago. The thread has merits as we are kicking around rare labels with small numbers of releases, hopefully of interest to some of the collectors out there.
Tony Smith Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Yes. That is absolutely true. As far as we know, they had only the 2 releases. So, I guess we could call Phelectron a TWO-off. 3 off Robb, there is another Terri Goodnight release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeMYGq1Oz90
Robbk Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 3 off Robb, there is another Terri Goodnight release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeMYGq1Oz90 Not bad at all. Well, I still think Phelectron is one of the rarest Soul labels as all 3 releases have only a handful or less of known copies.
Tricky Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Ooh Dear. Phelectron one of the rarest soul labels. Phelectron one of the worst soul labels period. IMO! Never rated the first two but now Please dont find any more on this label.
Chalky Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Assault, before Shrine Linda & Pretenders 5 records that I know about but must be more due to the numbering There are 18 listed in R&B Indies with missing numbers (at least three) so possibly more.
