Jaco Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 If you're after the Arin Demain "Blue Star" label, R & B Indies lists only that one track. There are 4 other Blue Star labels but not many tracks between them.

Sebastian Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Trying to track down a 'Johnny Wonderful' release. Jimmy Wonderful - Ain't Nothin' Shakin' Here / Tonight - BLUE STAR 400 There are two slightly different label variations of it:
Jaco Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 The "Johnny Wonderful" listing shows no number and no address/city for the label. The track listing is shown as "Ain't nothing shakin' here/Unknown"
Jaco Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Jimmy Wonderful - Ain't Nothin' Shakin' Here / Tonight - BLUE STAR 400 There are two slightly different label variations of it: Complete details from Sebastian.
Sebastian Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) By the way, Arin Demain's "Silent Treatment" is also published by HEMISPHERE MUSIC so it would surprise me if the Jimmy Wonderful and Arin Demain 45s are not from the same label set-up. Edited January 14, 2009 by Sebastian

Rich Buckley Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 By the way, Arin Demain's "Silent Treatment" is also published by HEMISPHERE MUSIC so it would surprise me if the Jimmy Wonderful and Arin Demain 45s are not from the same label set-up. I think Paul had a copy of Arin Demain on the Jimmy Wonderful type Blue Star label design in the sales section last week, so definitely the same label... Rich
Sebastian Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) I think Paul had a copy of Arin Demain on the Jimmy Wonderful type Blue Star label design in the sales section last week, so definitely the same label... Rich NICE! And here it is: Nice to clear up stuff like this. I don't know what the "JW2" on the Jimmy Wonderful label refers to. "Jimmy Wonderful 2" perhaps? Was there another Jimmy Wonderful 45 on BLUE STAR as well? JW2 might be the actual catalogue number. Or perhaps it says "JW1" on the flipside label? Edited January 14, 2009 by Sebastian
Anoraks Corner Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I thought we once did a label listing over on RareSoulForum...will have to look when I get a chance. Off the top of my head there's also the great Lord Jim & The VIP's double-sider, Johnny Daye's semi-known mover and a not so good disc from Billy Storm, all outta the same stable as Jimmy Wonderful and Arin Demain.

The Lord Jim and Lefty Wright 45s are on the same BLUE STAR label as Arin and Jimmy. But as far as I know the Johnny Daye and Vogues 45s are on a different BLUE STAR label (from Pennsylvania). The Singing Ambassadors 45s are on what seems like yet another BLUE STAR label (out of Texas). Haven't seen the Billy Storm disc. Edited January 14, 2009 by Sebastian

Sebastian Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) There appears to be a Blue Star label out of LA with a track by the Dreamers listed. GREAT! Here is what I've found so far: BLUE STAR 400 - Jimmy Wonderful - Ain't Nothin' Shakin' Here / Tonight BLUE STAR 450 - Lord Jim & The V.I.P.'s - You Don't Have To Cry Any More / The Marlin BLUE STAR 1000 - Arin Demain - Silent Treatment / You Don't Have To Cry BLUE STAR 1000/1001 - Lefty Wright - I Don't Want Nobody Listen (If I Can't Have You) / Run Run Run BLUE STAR 1965 - Billy Storm - It's What's Happening, Baby / That Funny Feeling Pennsylvania label: BLUE STAR 229 - Vogues - You're The One / Some Words BLUE STAR 230 - Johnny Daye - I'll Keep On Loving You / One Of These Days Texas label: BLUE STAR 513 - Singing Ambassadors - Lord Hear My Plea / Beautiful Things BLUE STAR 514 - Singing Ambassadors - All I Have / Swing Low, Sweet Chariot BLUE STAR 515 - Singing Ambassadors - Look Around / What God Do You Serve Don't know where this fits in, it's from 1960: BLUE STAR 8001 - Dreamers - I Really Love You / You Made Me Darling Edited January 14, 2009 by Sebastian 1
Anoraks Corner Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 BLUE STAR 1965 - Billy Storm - It's What's Happening, Baby / That Funny Feeling Oops...forgot that the Johnny Daye was different...I even had it pictured in my mind...doh! However, rest assured this Billy Storm is DEFINITELY the same label as Arin Demain etc. I've found WD's of it with the 'Star' designed logo...thought I'd struck gold until the stylus hit the vinyl!

So what gives with the record numbering system being all over the place?
