    The label on the 45 says Scepter.

    Record World gave "Strange Neighborhood" a 4 star rating in their Dec. 2, 1967 issue. They obviously liked the song's beat . Billboard gave it a favorable rating in the Special Merit Spotlight selection (Dec. 9, 1967) and Cashbox labeled it a best bet in the Dec.2, 1967 issue.

    There's also Tommy Hunt's version-

    From the January 9, 1971 issue of Billboard- Does anyone know anything about the Sue Records reference ?

    Jackey Beavers co-wrote this song which the Supremes took to the #1 spot on the U.S. Pop and Soul charts -

    Mr. "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" co-wrote and co-produced this song which topped the U.S. Pop and R & B Charts -

    Bettye Swann topped the U.S. Soul Charts in the Summer of '67 -

    There's not much info on Ed or Everite Records on the net. Discogs has the single as being released in 1969 which is probably true since the release # is 6910. The following info is from Billboard's Independent Record Production Companies listing from September 12, 1970 which also lines up with the DIscogs date-

    Bobby was a big winner on one Chicago station- hitting the Top 10. But, in St. Louis- E. Rodney Jones was the clear winner. It probably didn't help that the 2 records were released so close to each other.

    Two more for the list -

    Youngblood Smith did get reviewed in Cashbox and got a B+ review in the June 25,1966 issue. Also reviewed that issue were "Talk Of The Grapevine" by Donald Height and "A Lady's Man" by the Volcanos. Both received a "Best Bet" rating. Youngblood Smith was mentioned around the same time in Billboard but not reviewed.

    You've completely lost me ! The Creations Zodiac single came out in "67 and the Globe singles are from 1966 and 1967. The Al Greene 45 also came out in 1967. With that said, why are you bringing up groups that had singles in 1962/ 1963 ??
  13. The Yank
    According to Keith Rylatt's "Groovesville USA" , group members were Al Greene, Curtis Rogers, Lee Virgis, Gene Mason and Palmer James. The confusion comes from a Chicago group with the same name that was recording around the same time.

    The date on the acetate is misleading. I'm not sure what it's referring to but, it's not when the song was made. Here's a Cashbox review from Feb. 12, 1966-
  15. The Yank
    No - it was scheduled for release on Blue Rock right about the same time the label was shutting down. I can't find an exact date but, you can tell by this article it's the beginning of the end for the label-
  16. The Yank
    Yes- from what I remember the seller said they got them from someone who worked at a pressing plant.
  17. The Yank
    As long as we're on Mercury, this is very hard to find on Blue Rock-
  18. The Yank
    I've only seen this version. Do you have a pic of the Mesley variation ?

    Lee Young was the owner of Melic Records. He later went to work for Vee Jay which distributed the Melic Label. The John Wesley on Vivid would make more sense on Vee Jay but for some unknown reason ended up on Vivid.

    Sorry to hear about this - here's another classic from the Ronettes-
  21. The Yank
    Cashbox (June 29,1968 issue) also saw the potential in "They'll Never Know Why" and rated it as a "Best Bet"-
  22. The Yank
    Can't see this being spun a lot on a Northern Dance floor- I guess it's possible though-
  23. The Yank
    The only other mention I could find was in Cashbox (Sept.16, "67). "Smile" was listed as a "Best Bet" and "A MIghty Good Way" received a B+ rating.
  24. The Yank
    Here you go -
  25. The Yank
    Sure- Dave Moore's "The Philly Sound" .
