There is a guy on here who is an expert on the label, his name escapes me at the mo', but he's the guy who released those wonderful Virginia Soul Cd's. and re-issued the Bernard Smith 45, he'll be the best guy to answer any Shiptown questions..

Theres also an Art Ainsley and the Echoes track (Is this the Best Way??) from memory so they may have been the house backing band? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 There's 4(?) Barbara Stant releases on the label with My Mind Holds On To Yesterday being the best IMHO Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Moore Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Wasn't the label owned by Ida Sands, one half of the Soul Duo. Never seen a W/Demo of "Open the door to your heart". Anyone? Tried to get Russ Vickers to do the history of the label etc when he moved to Norfolk Va a couple of years ago.....Russ....get a grip!
