i have no idea, both of the label owners have passed. Maybe for tax reasons? Maybe to look like they have a bigger set of labels than they really do (like motown's mowest)? Sorry I don't know.
another reason the sure shot label was awesome was that it had the two guns on it and don robey was famous for supposedly having two guns on him all the time
another totally awesome one is the cap-city label with the color drawing with the washington monument (I know there were a bunch of cap-city label designs but that one was amazing).
they have another record on wiggins but it's not that good. someone sent me some awesome footage of them performing the wiggins record. ivy jo owned this label I think (he has a record of his own on the label, as "Ivy") and I think the related Probe label.
no, it's this group that spells their name the Ledgends and they're the only group that does. It was funny when I interviewed them, I was like "why did you spell your name wrong like that?" and they were like "what?"
I found their website: https://fulltimerecords.us/
But there is an address but not a direct email address. Can anyone fill me in on this company (what's their deal) and give me a direct email address? thank you.
So a group called the Jack Moves released a 45 (recently??? it says 2012 on the record, don't know what's up with that). The label is "full time". One of the sides is "a fool for you" which is a cover of a very obscure legends 45. They credit "the legends" under the track but put their own publishing on it. Anyone know the deal with this group and have a contact for the label? I just want the legends to get paid their mechanicals. Thanks.
I think there are way harder numbers probably, lots of unknown things, things that are only known with the a-side, etc. I have the johnny acey on stang, it looks much more like a test press than the mother of 3, it has a weird font. We three ltd on astroscope is super hard and killer, ady pierce has one up now (but only VG).
I bought the mother of 3 (I already had a copy I paid $100 for!) just to trade for any other rare label numbers on stang (or other random labels I collect). It's not really folk, just a crappy soft rock song about vietnam.
What is the number on the Jakki? Is it any good? I guess I might even have it, I have to check.
Some of the earlier titles are much harder than these titles, and some almost always show up with a single side and a blank side and it's even harder to find them with the flip. The other day I got the val martin with the flip and it was clear that the flip was a totally different singer and that they just stuck some filler on the flip.
I just listened to this, it sounds like the opposite of the lyrics posted, it's about them breaking up and hating each other and the dude asking for his dime back.
it's not this is it?

The lyrics don't match the song though. The lyrics you list sound familiar to me, I will try to figure it out
OK, I finally did a mix like I said I would ... I did it on my radio show, though, so you have to hear me talk at certain points. The playlist included two non-Detroit tracks but the rest was Detroit. You can listen to the mix at:

Thanks to every person who responded in this thread or sent me info privately. Moderators, I'm not trying to spam this forum with my show, I'm posting this here because it's directly relevant to the thread.

Hi. I just put online two new Sitting in the Park shows. The first one, from a week ago Sunday, features guest Collector / DJ Elaine Wade playing records from her collection. The second one, which I did yesterday, is a specially themed show -- I played records that had a mid-60s, poppy detroit female vocal group sound. I put these shows up in higher quality than regular shows so you might want to save the files to your hard drive and listen there instead of listening in your browser.
you can listen to Elaine's show at:

you can listen to the "spacey female detroit soul" at:

I talked to one of the members once, she was Carl Davis' wife at the time. She has a different last name now. I didn't get much info and unfortunately I never followed up. I think there are no common members between this Peaches and the Mercury Peaches although one group might have evolved into the other.
