Tailormade Gaz B Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 (edited) Hi all, Does anyone know the story to this record and what it goes for? https://www.discogs.com/release/8786358-Individuals-May-I- info on Discogs is scant and other than the very occasional request for it (post 5 years ago) I don't hear/read much about it on here or even on playlists etc. Media clip here: Edited October 21 by Tailormade Gaz B 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tricky Posted Thursday at 13:58 Share Posted Thursday at 13:58 Detroit tune. Had it a few times but never kept one. Poor pressing. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sounds more like a very Lo-Fi mastering likely trying to hide recording flaws (muffled). Or a DIY recording session. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I loived it from my first listen. It must be somewhat rare, As I never found it. But, I'm sure it got played on the local, Detroit stations, and had some sales there.

Nicola Posted Saturday at 21:50 Share Posted Saturday at 21:50 I have a copy, it was a birthday gift from Gilly via Andy Dyson from Andy's own collection. We heard it via Kev Cane. As far as I am aware it is a Detriot 45. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

They pressed mostly southeastern Michigan labels, and local national labels like Motown, when their normal pressing plants were backed up with jobs, and they wanted to get a new record out locally right away, or refresh stock in local record shops who were clamouring for it. They didn't do many (IF ANY) jobs for out-of-region-or state labels. So, that alone leads one to believe (and bet) that THIS "Fresh Records" was a Detroit Metro Area label. I have a couple end of '50s-early '60s 45s on a Fresh Records located in L.A. But they don't seem to have any relationship to each other. All the credited names on the label,.... the songwriter, A. Wilson, the producer & arranger (L. Cooper and E. Daniel), look familiar, and remind me of mid '60s Detroit tiny labels. I'm sure I have 3-4 mid '60s Detroit records with credits for those people.
