boba Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 a bunch of discographies (e.g. this one): https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/hilite.htm list a second elites title on hi-lite: 108 — The Elites — Have You Got A Love / Trouble In Mind This has to be a mistake right? There is a seminoles number with the same titles, and the seminoles record probably would have been 108? This is the seminoles title: 87568/9 - The Seminoles - Trouble In Mind / Have You Got A Love I have never seen Hi-Lite 108 although I have seen the Elites on Hi-Lite 106 plenty of times. Can anyone confirm / deny the existence of this second Elites title? I don't think it exists and it seems likely accidental with the Seminoles titles being the same.
Robbk Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 I've never seen the second Elites' record (Hi-Lite 108). I think the listing is an error. I've seen The Seminoles' Hi-Lite release with those 2 titles. I think someone just transposed those titles to The Elites from The Seminoles.
Guest gaz thomas Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 interesting, I have a copy of the seminoles trouble in mind / have you got a love on hi-lite but it has no release number on the label bell sound stamped styrene with ztsc 87568 1ka etched in run out, with a ztsp82605 with a line through it it has ztsc87568 printed on the label, but no release number printed on the label I just checked my tommy frontera on hi-lite and it has the release number right under his name seminoles on hi-lite is a great collectors 45, not an easy find
Robbk Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Yes, I have two Seminoles' releases on Hi-Lite with no catalogue #, and three Tommy Fronteras with none, in addition to their catalogue-numbered releases. Based on the Columbia Midwest pressing plant 84000 to 87000 numbers, it seems that Hi-Lite started using catalogue numbers in late 1963, after having none in 1962 and early 1963.
boba Posted May 19, 2014 Author Posted May 19, 2014 thanks everyone. i was pretty sure the elites 108 was an error, if anyone can produce evidence of a copy feel free to post.
