Shiptown is Norfolk, Va. 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..

I think it's a Virginia label. 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?

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!
