Hi everybody,

I wanted to formally introduce a website that I have created @ www.midwest45s.org. I have worked over the past few years to create this site devoted to Midwestern soul, gospel, and funk from the states of Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinios. I created it in order to expose and underexposed music to people who wish to learn. There are pages of label scans for each state/genre with sound clips for every record. Hopefully, there will be some new ones for some of you guys. Underknown soul highlights include Ben Brown on Steeltown on the Indiana Soul page and Delon Washington on the Illinois Soul page. Enjoy!

I never knew there were two versions of the sentimentals on knaptown... Is the other version a different label number and does it have a different flip ? Thanks.

The label numbers are the same for both versions - KT0010. The purplish label one was pressed at Rite, whereas the brownish label one was pressed elsewhere. The flip side is the same version on both records, although the Rite pressing is mixed better and pressed better on the flip side. The A-side is a completely different song between the versions, very different tempos. I like the uptempo brownish version myself. I'm guessing this is the first version.

Yeah, I had two copies of the brown one and have seen it a few times. I've never seen the slow one, I have to look for that now. Thanks.
