Everything posted by The Yank

  1. The web site that posted the listing has now removed it, so it's now a mystery to me also.
  2. Nice looking sleeve from a company I've never heard of -
  3. I think you're right- I got confused with the Discogs info. "The Complete Stax/ Volt Singles 1959-'68" has the release date as August 19th.
  4. The 1st release had "What Will Tomorrow Bring" as the B side.
  5. This article is from the August 23, 1969 issue of Record World. So it looks like the Mala 45 came out first and the ATAC version was second.
  6. Here's a blue sleeve with the same albums as the black sleeve and the various production dates. If you find a blue sleeve with earlier albums, please post.
  7. I remember seeing the Hitsville covers on releases in 1966.The Lp festooned covers were not used until 1967- if you look at the albums they're current releases. Also the date they started being used (or were manufactured) is right on the cover .
  8. I found this on a web site as an upcoming release. Besides giving the company releasing it (Tuff City) and a release date (June 4th) there is no other info. Does anyone know anything else about it?
  9. A few sleeves that were used for promo records (the last one is for Atlantic/ Atco) -
  10. 2 Atlantic sleeves- the 1st an early one before they signed the Drifters, La Vern Baker and Ray Charles and a later one-
  11. Japanese Atlantic sleeve from the late 50's. Everything is going fine until they get to Mr. McPhatter -
  12. A few more for the list-
  13. I'd go with these two-
  14. Billboard is referring to Marge and Gower Champion the dance duo who were in quite a few 50's Hollywood musicals. There's some videos on you tube where you can see them in action
  15. I never heard it until a few minutes before I posted it- it's different ! Somehow, Wally managed to make Billboard's "Winners Destined For Headlines in 1954" list! This probably had more to do with "Mr. Peepers" than his 45 -
  16. It appears that "Can It Be Me" on Modern came out after this Holiday Inn release. This survey is from June, 1966 with Mel at #30 -
  17. I'll let you be the judge-
  18. Billboard review of Wally "This Man" Cox's "Heebee Jeebees" -
  19. They probably were-I can't find any info on the group. They also backed Rubin Russell on this release -
  20. According to the back of the "Music City Soul" CD, the track was unreleased.
  21. The Betty Renne who recorded for Nu-Art/ Lawn is Betty Renee Garvin. She was an early member of the Bluebelles but left the group before they recorded.
  22. This article appeared in Record World and Cashbox around the same time. I think that they legitimately leased the single but there was probably something buried in the contract that they thought gave them the right to re-release "Going To A Happening" to whoever they wanted to .
  23. Here's a pic of the black issue. Out of the 60 or so on popsike, only 6 or 7 are issues -
  24. "Sweetest One" was a much bigger hit for the group with sales near 100,000 according to this article -
