Sean Hampsey Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 The Ovations "Til I Find Some Way" came out on an XL label (on the flip of Sweet Thing) XL 950 and on XL 120. Also, Barbara & The Browns "If I Cant Run To You" XL 1372 Memphis origin. Only guessing its the same label as Beti Webb (?). Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

pikeys dog Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Toomy Raye and Betti Webb, defo the same label - others???? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Toomy Raye and Betti Webb, defo the same label - others???? Yes, all these XL records are linked. The label was formed, and run, by Gene Lucchesi in the early 1960s and it functioned, on and off, well into the 80s. XL's biggest ever signing (and record) was Sam The Sham and the Pharoahs' "Wooly Bully', which they sold to MGM. And keeping that MGM connection, Sounds Of Memphis (which MGM distributed) was also an XL label... TONE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest melandthensome Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 nice one Tony....... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 nice one Tony....... Despite its title, a really good XL single is the last one on the label (from c. 1981), "Everybody Cried (The Day Disco Died)" by Rufus Thomas. The title escapes me for the present, but the flip is a really nice Southern Soul ballad, too. TONE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The flip of "Everybody Cried" is called "I'd Love To Love You, Again" if memory serves me right. Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

It wasn't actually given a full release, either - Linda Lucchesi (daughter of Gene) has a lock up full of copies, somewhere in Memphis. As I understand it, those that are in circulation are all copies that were given out as promos, before the decision not to release it was taken.

Modernsoulsucks Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I know it sounds unlikely but I think I've seen Alvin Cash "Twine time" on XL a couple of times on Ebay. ROD Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

ROD You didn't imagine this, Rod - I have a copy. It's a late 60s recut. The funk boys go for it in quite a big way, I'm told by one such funk boy who sits across the Ace office from me...
