Thanks for posting ! -
Jubilee promoted the record taking out ads in all three trades (Billboard, Cashbox and Record World) but I can't find any evidence of "Come Back Baby" really taking off anywhere. This ad is from the March 12, 1966 issue of Record World.

The Checkerboard Squares were based in San Francisco. The group was made up of Billy and Bernie Rivera, Billy Schwartz, George Whitsell and of course Frank Jones. Various horn players like Jerry Martini and Jerry Gilmore were also used. The Squares on "Double Cookin' " were basically the Frank Jones Sextet with some assistance from moonlighting players from the San Francisco Symphony.

No but, if you go by Discogs, the Turks are the same group as the Dontells. Group members were Nate Pendleton, Leroy Dandridge, Larry Nestor and Willie Weems.

I compared the Ikettes to the Temptations- I believe if a line is drawn through the name, it means that the person is not in the current lineup. There's a couple of entries that I wonder about - when was Bonnie Bramlett an Ikette? Or did she just do some backup work in the studio? Also, why is Jimmy Thomas considered an Ikette? I know he was part of the original Ike and Tina Revue but he's listed under Jimmy and Jean as being in the group.

One more for the list which I don't think was mentioned before. In the early 70's, Warner Brothers sent Dionne Warwicke to Detroit to record her "Just Being Myself" album -

I would think both of Sidney Barnes Blue Cat 45's were done in New York City. One was produced by Jeff Barry and the other by Leiber and Stoller. I don't think any of them would have gone to Detroit or have been able to get studio time there. Around this time, Red Bird/ Blue Cat showed they were definitely influenced by Detroit. Listen to "I'll Still Love You" by Jeff Barry, the Shangri-Las' "Right Now, Not Later" or the Boquets' "Welcome To My Heart".

The back covers of "The Mighty, Mighty Dells" and the "The Dells versus the Dramatics" both have the same credits- Recording Studios- United Sound Systems Detroit, Michigan and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Alabama.

Bob Pruter interviewed Jo for Soul Survivor #5. In the article Jo specifically mentions "Casanova" by Ruby Andrews as being recorded in Detroit. He also states that when working with Garland Green, she recorded "all his records in Detroit, with Mike Terry arranging". Other artists are mentioned but , no mention is made of where they were recorded.

Jean Wells - Calla label - Question for you ....
The Yank replied to Billy Jo Jim Bob's topic in Look At Your Box
Discogs goes in the opposite direction. They've got #185 as Jean Wells with no mention of Charlie Hodges. Here's a picture of an issue of #C-185 - -

From Cashbox August 15th, 1964- I'm guessing this Abner based in Cleveland is the same publisher as the Marvelous Ray 45-
-
Who said this was a one off label ?? Marvelous Ray had three other releases on Abner- #1001- "I Know The Secret"/ "Just You" #1002- "I'll Wait For You"/ "I Want To Cry" #1003- "I Know The Secret"/ "I Believe In Miracles" According to discogs, Marvelous Ray is a real artist from Cleveland and that is her real name.

I saw that and also saw the part where you said the purchase for Emmanuel Laskey was in August when it was actually in March 1965. This would explain how Emmanuel Laskey would be charting at #17 in April, 1965 on the Tiger radio survey.
-
I think it is possible or at least falls in the release timeline. #102- Rose Battiste appears to have a Nov./ Dec. 1964 release. (Wax To Watch #8) The Emmanuel Laskey article above was in the March, 1965 issue of Record World and was charting in April,1965 #104- Joe Matthews- I can't find specific release info. #105- Eddie Hill appears to have been release in May, 1965 (Wax To Watch #8)

There was also a Pied Piper- Chicago connection. Reading the liner notes to the Ace/Kent/Pied Piper reissues, the following songs are said to have been recorded at RCA's Chicago studios- September Jones'unreleased "Chink A Chank Baby", Sharon Scott's "I'd Like To Know"/ "Could It Be You", Willie Kendrick's "What's That on Your Finger" and "Change Your Ways". The Metros RCA album mentions the "Detroit Sound" 3 times in the liner notes, but on the bottom left corner, this appears- I'm not sure how much of the LP was recorded in Chicago.

His name also appears on these Hesitations song- "I'm Not Built That Way", "Wait A Minute", "You Can't Bypass Love" and "Soul Superman". There are a few Freddie Butler songs with his name also.
