    I wonder if they actually paid MCA for the rights for pressing up and selling "Because of You" by Jackie Wilson?

    I've never seen another record on Tru-Ba-Dor. But there were other record companies located at that Wyoming Ave. address (but they were all operating in earlier years, rather than concurrently). I don't recognise that music publishing company-so can't track it to an owner (though I can't make out the exact letters). I don't get any clues from producers Shelton and Porter, or Hill or Craig as writer. Some websites say that this was the only record issued on the label, and it was released in 1969. But, the Archer Pressing Plant code shows that it's press run occurred in mid 1968.

    I saw a LOT of that issue back in the day. I don't imagine that it would be "rare" now.

    Is this an unknown artist, or was the group really called The United Sounds, and they recorded for United Records? I'd have guessed that United Records was just the demo producer, a recording studio. Was there a United Records company in New York that also operated as a recording studio? The demo seems to have been made in New York. Anyone know anything about the artist and production? Sounds like 1967 or 1968.

    Yes, Anderson made a giant Chicago warehouse purchase, and had a LOT of CJ and CJ-distributed labels in quantity.

    This cut by Judson Moore, on Chicago Music Bag, is also very nice:

    I agree with this, as regards the Al-Tog issue. I've seen scores of them. However, i seen precious few of The Chicago Music Bag issue. THAT should be priced quite a bit higher, I would guess (if there are purists who want the original).

    ZTSC 142000 matches with 1969. So, The Chicago Music Bag was 1968, and the Al-Tog was 1969?

    I believe I bought the Chicago Music Bag issue in 1968, and the Al-Tog issue in 1970. I'm pretty sure that the Al-Tog was the 2nd issue. It's ZTSC number of 142000 should be traceable to an exact month of pressing. Scot-Tees was The Scott Brothers' publishing. So, I assume they played a big part in AL-Tog Enterprises. Howard Scott produced "Time and Time Again". But, I think I remember Bob A. giving us the lowdown on Al-Tog and Chicago Music Bag's ownership and production staff.

    I've seen several '70s bootleg's on a "Wright Sounds" Records (a bootleg label. But the legitimate mid '60s Wright Sounds Records did release the Carol Kay record. That label was owned and run by Charles Wright, out of L.A.

    Possibly also light scuffs on the vinyl from solid "dust" particles being rubbed into it by movement of other records/record sleeve against it. It looks bad, but usually doesn't affect the sound quality.

    That's a jukebox EP (or mini-LP).

    That price looks about right. It's not a "rare" record. But it doesn't turn up all that much. It was also pressed on gray and white Aurora (2nd press run?-or just different pressing plant?). I think that the blue one was earlier.
  16. Robbk
    It certainly should sell well in East L.A./Whittier/Downey/Pico Rivera, etc.

    That has "much newer" sound than the '60s. It surely doesn't sound like Johnny Pate or Riley Hampton's '60s arranging, nor the Columbia musicians they used. It sounds like a '70s arranger and band trying to "copy" the original.

    This pressing plant variation looks like the Dart Record Sales Distribution Co.'s pressings and label font. that was Art Sheriden and Ewart Abner's distribution company, that distributed VJ and its family of labels and distributed labels in The Midwest and South.

    Great mid'60s-style group sound. It sounds like about 1965. Too early to have a "collective/singular group name". Could it be possible that that group was called The Majextics, and it was a label misprint, with the "s" left off? Does anyone know where Equador Records was located, and where the artist/group came from, and his/their names?

    The age is right. But how do you know that the young woman in the photo is Bonnie Brisker? If she WAS acting in that play, then she was an actress as well as singer. And then, she could well also be the actress, Bonita Brisker.

    What is "this"? No picture showed up. What label? What record number? What songs?
  22. Robbk
    Wow! Pretty darned professional recording for a "festival recording".

    Pearl Jones was the lead singer of Sidra's Embraceables, and also sung backgrounds at Motown, and for Aretha Franklin. I also seem to remember her having a single-artist 45 release on a small, Detroit label (it was black-was it Diamond Jim?)
  24. Robbk
    "A Dream" by The Creations on Zodiac was actually sung by The Brothers of Soul (Fred Bridges, Bob Knight and Bobby Eaton). I'd love to hear The Precisions singing "A Dream". Can we get a link to an MP3 of it?

    Bonnie Brisker was the younger sister of Miller Brisker, a Detroit jazz saxophonist who toured and recorded with Aretha Franklin. He was the arranger on Bob & Fred's Big Mack record, and played sax on many Jazz albums headlined by other Jazz artists. Interesting, that along with Magic City owner, Ernest Burt, Motown's Alan Story and Timmy Shaw were involved. I wonder is Ms. Brisker recorded for other labels under a different name or was a member of any Detroit groups. I haven't seen any reference to anything else she recorded. Does she bear any relation to actress, Bonita Brisker?
