    There is a near mint stocker for sale on discogs- asking price is 999 pounds.

    Discogs has the same exact info and also calls it a 1969 repress. What's strange is the company had been out of business for 2 years by then, and I don't know why they would decide to re-open their business and release the 45 again.

    Here's a pic of Mr. Woodson -

    Just spotted one of these on e-bay- it looks like some Swan promos were made with double X's-

    Vic doing some self promotion in the August 10, 1968 issue of Billboard -
  6. The Yank
    Yes- but, I'm not sure if they used Tito's or Pete's original version

    I bet you're thinking of "Can't Satisfy" which is basically The Isley Brothers' "This Old Heart Of Mine" slowed down-

    There's not much info on Tom Rouse on the net- in 1973 he did work for the Building Community Arts Recording Corp. where he was in charge of the BCA, Rouser and Top Soul labels. ( from the 1973 Billboard Record Manufacturers section) -

    Everytime I hear Willie Tee's "Teasin' You", I think of the Impressions' " It's All Right".

    I have a feeling Curtis never heard of either 45. Triad was based in El Cerrito, California and besides KSOL (San Francisco) playing "The Soul P.W.', I can't find it getting airplay anywhere and it didn't get reviewed in any of the trade papers. The Jessie James 45 was a flop- no mention in the trades and no signs of airplay. On the other hand, it's possible he knew of both and had them pulled off the market.

    To me, it sounds like the same take but sped up and with an edit near the end of the song. Judge for yourself-

    The Quaker Town label was owned by Philly deejay Leon "Cannonball" Fisher.
  14. The Yank
    The Quaker Town label was based in Philly- I doubt if there is any connection to Rouser.

    "Because Of My Heart" was recorded in November, 1966 so- it might have been released late '66 but I believe 1967 is more likely.
  16. The Yank
    Yes- there are some for sale on Discogs-
  17. The Yank
    It's one of those weird coincidences- it's a completely different song-
  18. The Yank
    I've read Mavis fell in love with the song after hearing Phillip Mitchell's demo. Is this his demo version of the song or something he made later? There's no info on you tube with the video.
  19. The Yank
    I don't think there is any connection. This is the same Robert Lee though -

    As far as I know , the Benny Sigler is promo only. I have never seen a stock copy of it. With the Rhonda Washington, I've seen Sure-Shot 5026 listed on few web sites as "What About Love"/ "Swing Town U.S.A." but neither shows pics of the 45. Also, I can't find any mention in it in any of the trades (Billboard, Cashbox, Record World). And finally , I can't find the 45 getting airplay on any radio station. I'm about 95% sure about the 2 45's. If anyone has pics of either- please post !
  21. The Yank
    For the most part- Yes. The Deram group contained Ernestine and Shirley from the original group and added Viola Billups (aka Pearly Gates).
  22. The Yank
    And this - 7) NC - Bunky
  23. The Yank
    Yes- it is a British production. From Billboard August 3,1968. "Nothing But A Heartache" came out later that year
  24. The Yank
    Yes- Syl's brother Jimmy passed away January 31, 2022.
  25. The Yank
    There was also an earlier release of "Are You Angry" on Chattahoochie-
