I was not a member of this site until recently so thought would add some info 4 years on I found a stickered copy of Chuck's next record dated 1975 so I am guessing same year or slightly earlier which also implies that this was release was a couple of years before the Four Voices which I believe was 1977 Did we ever know who Chuck was ? I know he partnered Timmy Shaw through Johnnie Mae Matthews on Big Hit

The Buddy Connor/Conner was released twice Orange 1003 (same track both sides B dose Instrumental) and Red 1004 (Mind Of Your Own B Side) I have seen them as 1970 and 1971 respectively There's a good thread here but no dates (and takes us into the Nightmare of California Gold label too)(when I say Nightmare I mean great stuff as this thread just keeps giving and giving info)

That was my theory earlier or maybe Joey's wife (Latrail Jefferson) said the labels were a bit plain and changed them (my wife does it with our curtains every 3 months)

Appears to be December 1967/ January 1968

These have no connection at all to this label as they were a Jamaican Sound System, Mutt’s real name was Kenneth Davy and he named his sound system Mutt and Jeff after the popular comic strip of the day which featured a very tall character, Mutt, and a “half-pint” named Jeff.

I guess stories do get miswritten over the years and thanks for letting us know

Kev Roberts met up with Joey...he may know more https://www.soulunderground.co.uk/page1/Inspirations/

Would that just be a different run using same master or a different pressing plant ?

It's a great tune

I found this quote from Sidney Barnes who thought very highly of Mr Fairclough "Here's the Shee records story. Shortly after I left Jobete I started my own label with some guys from the Bronx NY. We called it Shee records. Little Nicky was a very, very good friend of mine from my New Jersey hood who wanted so bad to be a singer. So I recorded him as our first act on the label. Now because I was still under contract to Motown & Jobete I couldn't use my real name, so I became M. Alexander (Alexander) is my middle name. Only a few records were pressed but it was a great song co-written by a sweet lady named Lil White. Little Nicky's real name is Nicholas Faircloth and he was like a son to me. Richard Tee was my arranger and good friend from Jobete, George Kerr and I worked with him and helped him develop into a really great musician"

Mutt & Jeff originally was addressed at 1607 El Centro Avenue, Buddy Lowe joined the label as VP in 1971 for marketing and merchandising so perhaps some labels were issued then. I started thread here

I had that problem a bit when first using Discogs , but easily solved, I now get them to confirm the condition in detail, when the order has been placed or ask them first before ordering and problem solved

Most sellers I have come across are "Head and Shoulders" (other hair treatments are available) good sellers There is a forum on Discogs for these issues and I suggest you make your comments to that forum, rather than this one, or report your problem as I have found it really useful, if you buy a faulty car from Ford it's no good complaining to Vauxhall

The last copy I watched closely was 9 years ago which went through Pat Brady for £1000 I agree with you as it is a record I would only bother with if I was 12/13 again in another life, but lots of folks love it so there we are

I would be shocked if it hasn't been booted as it is a "prime" record to be booted (not that I would approve of course)

Staggering to think this never got a release and a year later our friend Bobby Goldsboro slapped on his LP as a pop song

That's ruined my thought in one way, perhaps I should have said decent (lyric wise)

Below is the smaller run out I believe these were pressed for John Anderson originally but is has been Booted with same label Someone will know

Amazing coincidence today ...... got up and went to one of our local car boot sales (nearly the end of the season) and picked up this for £1 and in really nice condition too Not had it before and it's actually really good IMO

Good job they weren't found in the UK or Europe then or there would be "bootleg" fever (Genuine Releases are available)

Too Right and boy oh boy it needed a vocal release

Sadly I gave up on record fairs about 10 years ago (spent 20 years going to them) Most dealers will nowadays check prices on the web themselves (unless they are too old fashioned) and I found that they were just getting rid of there "not so good stock" or the good stuff was over priced. I always felt that there were few bargains to be had for the digging time necessary and this trend has passed on even with the very few flea markets around and car boot sale sellers. I certainly would never knock them and guess there will always be a place for them (students seem to love them) as you can see they are still busy in some areas from the images. I did call into a fair in Blackpool earlier this year (in a pub) but the only soul records were in one box and ALL bootlegs !!!!
