Guest Coxy Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hi all, Does anyone know which rock and roll star was associated with this label. Mate of mine needs to know to out do his father in law Cheers Trev
Sebastian Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 "Cuppy" was Bill Haley's wife (Joan Barbara). I don't know if she actually ran the label or if it was someone else associated with Bill Haley though.
Chalky Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) "Cuppy" was Bill Haley's wife (Joan Barbara). I don't know if she actually ran the label or if it was someone else associated with Bill Haley though. her full name was Barbara Joan Cupchack. According to R&B indies it was owned by Bill Haley, Cuppy Haley (his wife no doubt), Tony Messina and Sonny Cassella. Edited July 30, 2008 by chalky
Dave Pinch Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 are there anymore releases apart from the delites and thornton sisters? dave
Chalky Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 are there anymore releases apart from the delites and thornton sisters? dave according to R&B indies, The Snaps (103) and Al Tigro (112). Seems to be a few missing between 103 and 112.
Guest Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Showstoppers,"house party" is that on the same label..purple and yellow thing.
Chalky Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Showstoppers,"house party" is that on the same label..purple and yellow thing. don't think so Ken
Guest Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 don't think so Ken Any scans of anything on the label.
deanosounds Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 I recently contacted the Thornton Sisters and found out that the track I Keep Forgettin on this label is actually not them. Does anyone have any ideas who it might be? are there anymore releases apart from the delites and thornton sisters? dave
Guest JIM BARRY Posted November 27, 2011 Posted November 27, 2011 Showstoppers,"house party" is that on the same label..purple and yellow thing. showstoppers is party time in u.s and beacon u.k
George G Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 What are Snaps and Al Tigro tracks like? Snaps is a garage record. moderately rare but not that expensive.
Guest wrighty Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 bought this a couple of months ago, had never seen/heard it before, heavy funky moddy type instrumental, not bad....
Theothertosspot Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 showstoppers is party time in u.s and beacon u.k What are the Heritage Showstopppers, are they reissues/boots? (I only have a Beacon copy) TOTP
Marc Forrest Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 bought this a couple of months ago, had never seen/heard it before, heavy funky moddy type instrumental, not bad.... which number is it ian, and what are the exact details (title, interpret etc) please ?
Marc Forrest Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I recently contacted the Thornton Sisters and found out that the track I Keep Forgettin on this label is actually not them. Does anyone have any ideas who it might be? really ? so did they know about this 45 existed before you contacted them ? remember one doo wop site I came across some ten years ago while doing research for and on bobby adams where their bio- and discography was on plus pictures etc. it included this cuppy 45.
Chalky Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Was that the Ditchdiggers Daughters site Marc?
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 What are the Heritage Showstopppers, are they reissues/boots? (I only have a Beacon copy) TOTP Jerry Ross signed the Showstoppers after the record became a hit here. He bought the group's contract and masters from Party Time, and reissued ANBAHP on Heritage in the hope that he'd be able to turn it into a US Hot 100 hit.
Guest wrighty Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 which number is it ian, and what are the exact details (title, interpret etc) please ? hi marc, its cuppy C-1019 "BIG BEAR" flipped with "PEOPLE" by the BIG BEAR REVUE
Marc Forrest Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Was that the Ditchdiggers Daughters site Marc? No. I sadly cant find it anymore. It was US based Doo Wop related site. It may have gone offsite by now. But I found this (maybe the same as you?)... "I'm writing the above because I just discovered that, 44 years after we recorded it, an old Thornton Sisters record is playing on YouTube. Who would have thought it? - Yvonne S. Thornton, MD, MPH" https://pagingdrthornton.com/2009/07/28/a-blast-from-my-past/ So opposite to what deanosounds was being told, the Cuppy 45 obviously is by THE Thornton Sisters
Marc Forrest Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 hi marc, its cuppy C-1019 "BIG BEAR" flipped with "PEOPLE" by the BIG BEAR REVUE Cheers Ian, great stuff.
Marc Forrest Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) ..ha!..sometimes the easiest way is the shortest way... have a look here..FABULOUS!! https://www.thornton-sisters.com Edited November 30, 2011 by Marc Forrest
Benji Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 No. I sadly cant find it anymore. It was US based Doo Wop related site. It may have gone offsite by now.

You're sure she talks about "I keep forgettin" and not about the other release ("Big City Boy" wasn't it?)
Marc Forrest Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Marc, the YouTube vid linked to the comment is no longer available. You're sure she talks about "I keep forgettin" and not about the other release ("Big City Boy" wasn't it?) hit the other link mate, its the same Thornton sisters
Benji Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Marc, I clicked all links but still can't see any evidence they're talking about the Cuppy 45 and not the Bobsan one *puzzled*
Benji Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Google'd a bit (as you do when in the office ) and found this article here. See comment at bottom of it, looks like it's not "the" Thornton Sisters on Cuppy (not that it really bothers me to be honest)
vince ayres Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 just found this! now before i'm bombarded with pm's it's utter shite atb vince
deanosounds Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 That's too funny! This is woman who told me it wasn't the Thornton Sisters and she was in the group! I think the youtube link was put up with probably just thornton sisters in the title and it turned out to be that track because it's been removed. Don't mean to agrue. I just want to get to the bottom of this. "I'm writing the above because I just discovered that, 44 years after we recorded it, an old Thornton Sisters record is playing on YouTube.

Marc Forrest Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Don't mean to agrue. I just want to get to the bottom of this. me too mate, really would like to know for sure indeed now!
Marc Forrest Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Google'd a bit (as you do when in the office ) and found this article here. See comment at bottom of it, looks like it's not "the" Thornton Sisters on Cuppy (not that it really bothers me to be honest) both links are about the same people involved. the second link adds to that pictures which show the thornton sisters on cuppy. so thats the evidence here..I am bothered big time by the way. have always liked the thornton sisters on cuppy and the label itself.

Marc Forrest Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 which pictures ??? https://www.thornton-sisters.com/
Benji Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 https://www.thornton-sisters.com/ Sorry, I'm lost. Can't see any picture of any Thornton Sisters on Cuppy. Just pictures of a group called The Thornton Sisters. BTW, just played I keep forgettin and Big City Boy after each other. They sound miles apart.
