last time he had it on the site ( can't remember exactly when, but there was a SS thread) it was £850. with exactly the same description

bread sauce...just wouldn't taste the same with Swan. I'll give it a miss this year.

assuming Mel Williams is Melvin Williams, as opposed to their being two Mel(vin) Williams, then he could also be the co-owner of Musette Records.

custom recording co inc was also Schafer's ( prexy).

I think Chester & Charles defence against piracy was some 'loop hole' about state law versus fed law jurisdictions  on recordings made after Feb 1972.

Custom recording co inc, manfuctured 8 track tapes principally.

cheers everyone who joined in.

Sherlock advises me that a wild ass guess based on 56 replies with a few multiples & a couple of dupes, so say 80 in total.

where is the picture of the hamster?

realized i have a least 6 x 45's depicting different animals on each of the labels.

How many are there?

1. Pelican

2.

go on...it's nearly xams.

I bet any Gen X or Millennials reading this topic would laugh. Pills to keep you awake and “up” to carry on dancing until 8. Hardly gonna worry Columbia drug lords, even though the 60’s/70’s UK DS would have had “the public” believe so.

I don't know anything about the records obscurity, but there's quite bit known about Black Jack.

Hi Paul, @Paul-s,

the thought of anyone having lessons ( back in the day) would have been laughable. If known, you’d have to hide from your mates never to be seen again.

equally £22 a week for “skilled “ turners, fitters, etc , let alone apprentices ( as I was) would rule it out anyway.

finally, teaching-wise, no one would even know what Northern Soul was, let alone Northern Soul dancing.

Those who are interested will have to explain the difference between what passes for the norm in future and what was filmed in the "This England" doc.

I'm interested. And my explanation is, I have no issue with 1977 or the dancing of that tme. But that's not what goes on today ( which will become the norm).

the thing is though... when we are all dead ( probably me not too far in the distant future) 'their' dancing will be the norm.

Is this the same Marty Lewis that owned the Flame label ?

 

It's definately the same Marty Lewis who was involved with Soulin' Record Co at 1812 Constantinople, N.O. 

But i thought Flame Records ( and Emalf [Flame backwards] Music Pub) was someone else's.

Big Deal records, or maybe Marty himself was at one time located in Cheneyville, just South of Alexandria. Not sure which.

me too

back in 2018 i did a piece on Philharmonics ( New Orleans, Isaac Bolden, etc). i have a few notes from then...

Marty was ( i believe ) a construction worker who won a talent comp about 1955/56. Coincidentally, Kenny Guidry and The Clouds of Joy were runners up.I don't know if the 'Joy biit' has anythng to do with Oliver Joy.
