Steve G Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) HI BAZ, HERE'S ANOTHER GOODIE ON ABBOTT WHICH I POSTED A WHILE BACK IN SWEET N DEEP. SUPER VERSION, IS THIS THE ORIGINAL ? ATB PAT [ There is enough decent stuff on Abbott to fill a CD - where is Ady C or Trouncey whn you need them? I am sure they could deliver the goods Edited October 20, 2008 by Steve G Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The original (local) release of "Give A Man A Break" is on UPLOOK. The later national release is on ABBOTT. An absolute monster tune on either of the labels ofcourse! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soul-slider Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Cracking tune this one! I included this on our local Soul night free givaway CD. Also, 'Give A Man A Break' was released on orange 'Up Look' re-issue a few years ago with Delegates Of Soul on the flip. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I too would love to know more about the Abbott label if anyone knows more. Was it some kind of budget label? I ask because the pressings and labels are almost uniformly shoddy on all the releases I've had or seen, and some like the Charles Mintz had been released on other labels in other locales. Also, are there any albums? TIA for any information, gareth. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest John Buck Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Here is what I've got as far a discography goes: ... Any corrections/additions are most welcome. I visually confirmed most data / cat #'s listed, except for 2018, 164 and 237 (which are most elusive). Technically, the heading should read "as far a discographies go" (plural). Between ABBOTT 2030 and ABBOTT 37000 is the boundary line between 2 different labels (on opposite coasts) formed 2 years apart: From #2010 thru 2030, it's Abbott Records from New York City (distributed by Golden Records).From #37000 on down, it's another Abbott Records of California (distributed by United Artists, named after founder Mike Abbott and launched in 1972 Edited May 13, 2010 by John Buck Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
funkyfeet Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) Charles Mintz - Since I found You (UP-LOOK) came out twice on the the Uplook Label, the scan below is the first harder to find issue with the record logo. This copy is for sale if anybody's interested £60 Edited May 14, 2010 by funkyfeet Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
waterfall_manc Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) i have got one on the original local uplook release. the one on that reissue is a lot slower and not as good imo. is it excatly the same track on the abbott and uplook?
