  2. I can't find any mention or ad of Charles Mintz in Record World in 1969, ( there is a mention of his followup single in 1970) but I did find this survey with the flip side of the single at #24-
  3. Wasn't expecting this when the Walmart ad started -

  5. It's actually Anacrusis Music (from Record World -June 30, 1973)
  6. That picture was taken from the September 1, 1962 issue of Cashbox magazine. Here's something you might be interested in. I don't think the project ever got off the ground but would have been quite an album. I know Betty and Jerry did team up for the "Delicious Together album". From Record World- July 18,1964-
  7. Pay no attention to the 1963 date- Cameo/ Parkway and their subsidiaries all put one date on their early to mid 60's labels. One-der-ful/ Mar-V-Lus and M-Pac also did the same thing. The Oscar Wright was most likely released in late 1966.
  8. I'm Glad you liked it . If I find any more , I'll post them.
  9. Here's a pic of Sam -
  10. The lyrics in the snippet reference the Buckinghams "Don't You Care". The singer sounds a lot like this guy (Jim Peterik). Is this an obscure Ides of March track ?? -
  11. I agree "Don't Say.." isn't top shelf Detroit but... if you listen to Holly's cringe inducing version of "Blueberry Hill" on the flip side, it sounds like she's singing over the San Remo String's version of the song-
  12. I wanted to add that "My Darling Baby" was released another time with this as its flip side. I believe they meant to use #1011 instead of 1111 for the release number -
  13. The Arabians were George Goodman, Clarence McClean, Charles Laird and Robert Tut. Sometime after the release of "(Please ) Take A Chance On Me", Edward left the group and was working with the New Falcons (Big Wheel) . None of the songs were ever released. The Fifes were Lou Beatty Jr., Jerome Crawford and Frankie Simms. One of the group ended up in prison and the Fifes broke up after this. In 1967, Edward reunited with the Arabians and released "I'm Gonna Love You Baby". Clarence McClean left the group soon after this. This may or may not be the reason for the name change to the New Looks. All this info comes from the liner notes to the Grapevine CD "Lou Beatty's Detroit Soul". And. it looks like "Baby Don't You Weep" was released in August of 1967, so 1968 seems like the correct year for "My Darling Baby. Here'a a survey with "Baby..." clocking in at #40 -
  14. I did find an article in Billboard about "Bob" Bateman from January, 1966 but it also included a lot of info about other producers. However, this article from Record World (November 27, 1965) shows things were in progress earlier-
  15. From Record World (Feb. 16, 1965) -
  16. Here's another Andre WIlliams/ Myto Music/ Detroit recording that ended up with a Mercury label-
  17. There were a few Steve Claytons in the record biz (according to discogs). I'm not sure which one made this 45 but i have feeling this is a Pop record.
  18. There was also a short lived label -
  19. As far as I can tell, "Bring It On Home To Me' was released in March of 1972. I know the label lists Pac-3 as being in Detroit but this Billboard article has Pac 3 in Dearborn. Were there 2 Pac-3 Studions?
  20. Here's the results from earlier today. All 45's are U.S. issues except where noted. Prices are in pounds- Connie Clark- "My Sugar Baby" - Joker - 1617 Ernie Johnson- "I Can't Stop The Pain" Artco- 1529 James Barnett- "Keep On Talkin' " _ Fame- 422 Nick C. /Chateaux- "These Good Times" Bay Sound- 365 Westbound Freeway- "Right Or Wrong" - Fraternity- 110 Gary Haines- "Keep On Going" Sound- 428 Ve-Shelles- "Shingaling" - Boola Boola- 151 Minnie Jones/ Minuettes- "Shadow Of A Memory" -Sugar- 967 Diane Lancaster- "How I Need Him" Polydor U.K. DJ- 280 Lightnin' Hopkins/ Ruth Ames-"Finally Met My Baby" - Herald DJ - 114 Billy Hoke- "I Wonder" - DW- 90 MB's- Another Day" -B-Jet- 784 Debbie Dean- "Everybody's Talkin' About My Baby- Motown with pic sleeve- 105 Vows- "When A Boy Loves A Girl" - Sta-Set- 161 Milton Jones- "Like A Rolling Stone" - Satiron- 665 Oscar Perry/ Love Generators- "I Got What You Need" Peri-Tone - 315 Freddie Williams- "I Got To Live While I Can" -418 Pacesetters- "I'm Gonna Make It" - Minit DJ- 445
  21. I have never come across Maltese Records in Chicago but I have found a few Stephanye 45's (Shirley J. Scott and the Prophets) .
  22. Not sure if Irv was born in Detroit but, this article makes it seems like he had been working in the area for years-
