Hi,

 

was wondering if there's a discography of all the small and bigger soul labels that were based in Philadelphia back in the days - beside Philadelphia International Records (PIR) or Gamble Records which was folded in 1972 into Philadelphia International as a subsidiary before the subsidiary's name was changed to TSOP Records in 1974.

 

If not, we might be able to list them all on here  :g: And of course which artists recorded and/or lived there. Soundfiles/YouTube links are welcome.

 

Looking forward what will happen...

I left off all those labels that were already listed above my post.  We need an East Coast expert on this.  I'm weak on East Coast and Southern USA as i lived in Chicago, L.A. and San Francisco BayArea.  So, I'm good with Midwest (Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Indiana), and California, but weak on East Coast.  Bob A, can help.

We compiled as many labels as possible some time back from Detroit and NY. Can't remember if we did Philly or any other city. I will dig the spreadsheets out at weekend.

Hi Matt, I did full 7"/LP/CD discogs for all releases on the Mighty 3 labels (Excel/Gamble/Huff Puff/Neptune/North Bay/Philadelphia Int./Golden Fleece/TSOP/Tommy/Thunder/Mighty Three/Peace Int./Gamble & Huff) with LP track listings, release years, nos. etc. for the Philadelphia Int. 40th anniversary box set;

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philadelphia-International-40th-Anniversary-Box/dp/B006ZGDC26/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389381237&sr=8-1&keywords=philadelphia+international+40th+anniversary+box+set

 

I've posted some of them on here;

 

 

 

& gamble with YT link to scans of all the 45s;

 

I'll get the rest up here when I have the time.
