Tee Jay Records

[Mal C]

Just listening to a Roscoe Shelton track on  Tee Jay Records, 45 Cat and Discogs have this as a child label to Ref-O-Ree, Tee Jay is Ted Jarrett, so I guess this is like Mike Hank's Sparton lablel, a place he put out songs written and procduced by himself.  'What Is It, Baby' is a good track too.  I wonder what other little labels Ted put out, and are there anymore releases on Tee Jay, looks to only be two on Discogs / 45 cat.

Hi Mal, enlighten me please. I'm a bit lost on this bit.

as it says, Hanks reissued tracks on Spartan such as 'The Hawk' that was originally on MAHs.. there were not many on Spartan were there, its simply a comparison of thr type of label ken. 

Anyhow this looks to be another painful post, lets ditch it, Ive better things to do mate..

Hi Mal

Ted Jarrett also ran with Valdot, Cherokee, Poncello. Don't know if he owned Spar but he certainly produced a lot of material. Tee Jay seemed to be revived or continued with the T-Jaye imprint later in the 70s / early 80s. Also wrote a book:
