Guest Brett F Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Baz i have a listing that has 43 tracks listed right up to 1983, helluva lot to type mate, any particular ones you need too know ? seems strange i have two Virtue listings with different Philadelphia addresses one runs from 1969-83 the other 1970 -73 ? (this one distributed via Mercury Frank Virtues label), yet some of the artists record on both ? Confused. Brett
Guest Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Here is a listing that I have put together. Any additions are most welcome. VIRTUE 9776 - Quiet Storm - High Horse / ? Flip to this is 'High Horse Part IV' by 'Virtue Orchestra'. Found a copy of this 45 recently, seriously up tempo banging track which ticks all the right boxes for me Adam.

Sebastian Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Definetly 2 different addresss and designs also ! I just searched for some scans to post up on this thread and managed to stumble across 3 items that I hadn't mentioned in my previous listing: VIRTUE 4976 - New World - The World Today / Master J. VIRTUE 91572 - Mickey Mousey - I Never Knew / Button VIRTUE 111280 - Gospel Ambassadors - Trouble Of The World / Please Search The Book Again So the rare New World 45 was apparently released twice! I've added the above info to the discography now. Here are some scans: An acetate: Edited October 13, 2008 by Sebastian

Sebastian Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) 101470 The Creations - "Take these memories/Don't let me down" 4575 New World - "A friend who is not a friend/To be a man" Flip to the Past Due track - Virtue 71676 - is "Something else" Superb! Have added this info to the discography. You don't happen to have soundclips of 4575? Edited October 13, 2008 by Sebastian
Hakenig Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Here's a scan of 4575, I sold my copy a long time ago, and I don't think many people knew it then (probably few still do). I may have the tunes on an old cassette mix, but I did not know how to record onto my computer then, unfortunately. Anybody else seen green labels on Virtue 45s? I'm pretty sure this is the only one I ever had. Edited October 13, 2008 by hakenig

I may have the tunes on an old cassette mix, but I did not know how to record onto my computer then, unfortunately. Anybody else seen green labels on Virtue 45s? I'm pretty sure this is the only one I ever had. Anthony Hall "Baby girl of mine" is on Virtue too, early 60s, or maybe late 50s stuff. Incredibly rare too.
boba Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Anthony Hall "Baby girl of mine" is on Virtue too, early 60s, or maybe late 50s stuff. Incredibly rare too. I don't think this virtue label existed in the early 60s
Guest miff Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Great tune! Was a bit surprised when a Virtue acetate of this sold for a whooping $405 (!) a couple of weeks ago on eBay. It was listed as "unknown male vocalist" and I guess the buyer didn't know what it actually was (and that original copies usually goes for £10-£15). Or they really wanted to have the original acetate. Didn't know it was that well known has it ever been played out, would love to here it on a large sound system
Djr Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) I believe the yellow v. black "The World Today" 45s are different recordings of the same tune. I remember this being discussed on the funk45 board a while back. Edited October 15, 2008 by djr
John Benson Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Hey Sebastian: VIRTUE 2522 - Creations - How Sweetly Simple / Lovin' Simple There's a slight mistake on this one, it should be: "Lovin' Feeling" Nice tune it is too!
Md Records Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Another one for your list. Skippy Devine - There'll be some changes made/You'll never walk alone V-111977-T/V-111977-Y, arranged & conducted by Bobby Martin, Address 1618 N.Broad St, Phila PA 19121 Keep the good work up folks Des Parker
Baz Atkinson Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 Shaping up nicely this now !! BAZ A
Sebastian Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Another one for your list. Skippy Devine - There'll be some changes made/You'll never walk alone V-111977-T/V-111977-Y, arranged & conducted by Bobby Martin, Address 1618 N.Broad St, Phila PA 19121 Thanks for this info! Have added it (and the correct Creations b-side) to the list above.
Baz Atkinson Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 ANYONE GOT A SKIPPY DEVINE SOUNDCLIP? BAZ A
Md Records Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I've got the record I can send you, if you send me the postage, it's not that good though! Des Parker
Sunnysoul Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Just going back through this old topic. Can anyone confirm whether Prince Johnny Robinson - This Girl Is Rated X - was released on Virtue? Or was it only released on Andee ? Edited April 26, 2015 by sunnysoul
Dmc Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Addition:Sacca Twins Revue “You Got To Funkafies/ Ooh Baby Baby” (Virtue 61975) 1975
