Ringleader

its a US 'oldies' label reissuing tracks that were originally big US R & B hits.....I don't think they were aimed at UK market.....also don't know how legit it was

2 slightly different designs....images taken from various sources

Its nothing to do with Simon Sousan or the West Coast label with the same name...... it is a reissue label from 68/69....John Manship is actually selling Darrell Banks on Soultown for £25 I don't know how many records were released on this label but here are the ones I know of 501 Darrell Banks - Open the door / Somebody somewhere 502 The Parliaments - I wanna Testify / All your goodies are gone 503 Maurice Williams & Zodiacs - May I / This feeling 504 The C.O.D.s - Michael / I'm a good guy 505 Jaynetts - Sally go round the roses / Keep your eyes on her 506 Aaron Neville - Tell it like it is / Why worry 507 Shirley Ellis - Soul Time / The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap) 508 Dean Parrish - Tell Her / Fall on me 509 Earl Harrison - Humphrey stomp / Can you forgive me

thanks for that Paul

Thanks Dave but there are about 6 x INV 533 demos on popsike from about the past year which have sold for between £20 and £69 which is a bit more than the £10 you are suggesting Ian

I think popsike only shows records that sell for more than $20 and as there are sales showing for the demo and none for the issue i presumed the ones on ebay must have sold for less than $20....unless there have been none at all sold on ebay Its the same mono version as invictus 501 On another thread I think Paul Mooney said it was released at the end of EMI's contract with Invictus and shouldn't have been released

Thanks for that Pete.....I thought that as it wasn't on popsike it must be worth a lot less than the demo Ian

I have a copy of Freda Payne - Band of gold - Invictus 533 ISSUE to sell and I wondered what it is worth? This is the version that was withdrawn. I can see DEMOs on Popsike but no ISSUES I know this has been discussed before but I can't find the article Thanks in advance Ian

A lot of original Motown albums were released on CD in the 80s are some are quite rare now and fetch high prices on Amazon and Ebay. All the obvious artists were released but not many of the less successful acts got released Of the albums you mention i know for sure Tammi Terrell, Bobby Taylor and Vancouvers and the Originals "Baby I'm for real" were released as I have them. No original Brenda Holloway albums were released Other Albums by "The Originals" were released As far as the Spinners are concerned....I don't think "the Original Spinners" came out but their 2nd Album was released in Japan on cd I have quite a few and I am happy to sell them....including "the Best of the Fantastic Four" which is now very hard to get
