Guest eargasm! Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Has anyone got any information on Little Jackie Shane 'I Really Got The Blues / Money (Stop 104). It's pressed on Blue vinyl. I've had this one in the collection for years and have recently recieved inquiries about it. Any help would be most appreciated as in price range, year released, etc. Thanks!
Sean Hampsey Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Correct title is "I've Really Got The Blues" and I think that its a very scarce release. US artist (and famous Drag) who made it big in Canada (with one of my all time Top Ten 45's) performed in Toronto and recorded this for a Boston label! He was (I believe) a cousin of Little Richard. Got to be prior to his 1963 hit "Any Other Way". The flipside is "Money". Is this the Berry Gordy song? as this might help date it. Both sides featured on a canadian CD "All The Singles" - but in this case it's listed as "Have You Ever Had The Blues" (pretty sure its the same song). Would love to hear it. Dig the pic of Jackie Shane. Sean

Dig the pic of Jackie Shane. Sean That's definitely the same song. The cd is listed incorrectly. Great photo of him,lol! I never would have guessed..Is he from Massachusetts or did he just record there? It's the Berry Gordy song and it's in the same tempo/style as the flip. The Stop label had several releases. It was owned by Skippy White who up until recently had a store in Salem, Mass. He may still have one in Cambridge,Mass.
pikeys dog Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I think it's a later 60s release to cash in on his minor success on Modern records. I've got the 45, and another release of Money on the original Canadian label Star Shot. Something about the quality of the blue vinyl sings out a later release.

I've found a site with a partial Discography, Joe. https://paisleyhaze.com/stop.htm The two Tinkers 45's (106 & 107) are later numbers and are both listed as 1966 elsewhere, so we can at least assume its pre '66. https://www.jbpco.freeuk.com/USAList/USAListT.html Star Shot was a Toronto label so I guess you're right on the money :-) Take a look at Jackie performing here! https://visualguidanceltd.blogspot.com/2007...alking-dog.html As a mater of additional interest, Johnny Jones and the King Casuals are the Backing band... with the HyTones on Backing vocals!

He does still have a store in Cambridge MA. Sean
