think Melody Land & Hitsville were Motowns C&W labels. Bit like the way Melody label was after the first 3 or 4 good releases. Made the mistake years ago of picking some stuff up on these labels blush.gif

Sew City New York as far as I'm aware. Prodigal is it a soul label? besides it's mid 70's and motown no longer Detroit then, same for Gaiee. Was Chisa Detroit? Assumed it was more like West Coast?

Chisa was Hugh Masekela's label, originally distributed by Buddah, but Motown did distribute it a some point. Arthur Adams 45's were I'm sure

yes but was it strictly a soul label? was set up for white rock bands according to quick web search?

Prodigal someone mentioned was purchased by Motown in '74 so doubt it's Detroit.

I'll update later when on PC upstairs.

Got "theres a ghost in my house" on rare earth,rare earth the band have done a few soul type things and stoney and meatloaf did covers of motown hits and came out on motown aswell.

Jay Walking is part of SoulVille. Harrisburg.

steve

right. but maybe this is a different Jay-Walking? pretty strange credits for a harrisburg record (though it does fit right into the harrisburg jay-walking numbering system):

Jay-Walking 018

Eddie Parker

Can't You See (What You're Doing to Me)

(Jack Ashford)

Do the Choo Choo

(E. Willis, J. Ashford, L. Chandler)

Produced by Jack Ashford and Lorraine Chandler

Arranged by Paul Riser

I think it was the pa label but jack ashford and lorraine chandler were songwriters that shopped their material around. they also wrote the ray gant and arabian knights 45.

Says 68 on the record and m/town didnt move till 72 so a good'n.

I still reckon its a 'Mowest' production.

Motown was slowly decamping to LA from just after the Detroit riots, so 68 onwards...

Chris Clark was sent out west to get involved in Film and TV tie ins.

There were no 45s issued on the label - just the CC lp - I'm guessing that it was recorded and released to complete her recording contract with the company so she could take up the reins in her new job.

As it's Mel's thread was he wanting Detroit labels with soul/Northern releases only. I don't think Hideout has any,nor Fenton and A squared. Otherwise you're gonna be missing a lot of labels unless someone into 60's garage contributes.

RPR is West Coast address although did distribute "Like my baby",Dynamo subsid of Musicor with only Wylie Hester connection from Stanley Mitchell/Platters. Anyway sure you know that. Don't think Garrison is Detroit either. Subsid of Wand and checking matrix of Honeybees against Clarence Reid they are very similar

Honeybees 50642 [sratched] and a M or W or squiggle [hard to make out]

Clarence Reid 50589 and as above.

ROD

I have one on Fenton and its not bad but its a well known garage track, danceable.

That was me, Jimmy also recorded for Blue Rock, thought Syco had something to do with Salem? Boba might know

On the Syco 45 armen boladian did the publishing but it was recorded in chicago according to a sixties detroit webisode.

Not sure,My Jimmy Holland is ZTSC stamped on " More sugar baby" side,SHELTON stamped on "Sugar baby" side,Bridgeport Music,Produced Andre Williams Chicago/Detroit.

Maybe we should run a Chicago Label listing alongside this Detroit one,how you fixed Chalky!

Why not, Detroit down to a trickle now and I've time on my hands at the present. Do you want to start a separate topic? :unsure:

Sounds Good! would have to be seperate thread.

another for the Detroit list.... Lee Rogers own label "Soul Wheel" looked kinda like the Big Wheel logo, only one release i think from the man himself

That particular Gold Star label is in the R&B Indies as Dayton Ohio. Two others in there as well, Houston and Chicago.

PS> Just checked the Ohio Soul recordings web site...

I see you're getting bogged down with the 70's/80's stuff!! You may as well put the Brown Bomber on.

Is [Norman]Whitfield a Detroit label. I know Rose Royce,Undisputed Truth,Spyder Turner were on there.

I'd have said it was a subsid of WB and as such NOT an independent Detroit label.

ROD

Not sure about the Whitfield Rod, anyone else? I intend to remove the 70's and do a separate list. Just got to nip to tescos :thumbsup: will sort when I get back.
