Guest Trevski Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) Picked this up last nite. Not heard it before, not in JM's guide, no info to be found on artist, or label for that matter. I think it's rather nice. Anyone identify it? FV.mp3 Edited July 7, 2007 by Trevski
Chalky Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) Johnny Wade on Campo (there's a big clue as well when the label pops up when you play it ), early 60's label owned by Major Bill Smith who also owned Charay, Billie Fran and few others. Edited July 7, 2007 by chalky
Guest Trevski Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) early 60's label owned by Major Bill Smith who also owned Charay, Billie Fran and few others. Might have known you would get it Chalky! Think Saus played it out a few years ago. Worth me £30 then you recon? Edited July 7, 2007 by Trevski
Chalky Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Bobby Skel on credits.... info about him here https://www.geocities.com/spikeopath/bobbyskel.htm
Chalky Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Might have known you would get it Chalky! Didn't know you spun it.Think Saus played it out a few years ago. Worth me £30 then you recon? I haven't spun it as you say, not my type of record to be honest. If your happy with what you spent then thats all that matters, it's hardly that well known out so must be worth what you spent.

Where it said "big clue when the label pops up when you play it" thought you meant you had one. Then downloaded it myself and found out what you meant! Yup, £30 for a nice tune IMHO, that I havn't heard before, well worth it.!(heard a lot worse for a great deal more...) Edited July 7, 2007 by Trevski
Guest Trevski Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Bobby Skel on credits.... info about him here https://www.geocities.com/spikeopath/bobbyskel.htm Interesting.. Bobbys own version on King, and a list of artists that have recorded his songs Including "Salvation" (the men from Macon were Bobby Skel and the Red Riders Also says Cressa watson AKA Carolyn Sullivan?) But no mention of Johnnie Wade, or Campo label.

But no mention of Johnnie Wade, or Campo label. It does say Caolyn Sullivan with a question mark. I've always thought Cressa Watson and Martha Starr Sweet Temptation to be one and the same, Sweet Temptation practically identical apart from the break in one. It also says the list incomplete

It also says the list incomplete Yes, always thought that too, and the question mark doesn't inspire confidence. List is incomplete, as you say, so I've sent him a label scan. Wonder what Bobbys ice-cream parlour is like?
Guest Trevski Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Quite a lot of downloads! Well......... Should I play it out?.....Or file it away?
Codfromderby Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 great record that,interesting to hear the connection between the labels, campo, le cam and billie fran, got the startones on billie fran and did have another 45 but at the time thought it was crap, what was it ? has any one got a label listing for the above labels
Guest Dan Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Quite a lot of downloads! Well......... Should I play it out?.....Or file it away? i'd file it personally trev always nice to uncover something few seem to know, though (i certainly didn't know it)
