"No Baby" did get some airplay in New York City, Washington D.C. and Detroit but never really took off. This survey shows Frankie "Ton Of Dynamite" Crocker -

I think it might not be easy tracking down who was in the group. Both sides are on you tube and even Manship commented that after they 45 they "instantly ghost like disappeared as if they never existed".

Gwen Owens - You better watch out - going rate ?
The Yank replied to Chris L's topic in Look At Your Box
I was also at Soul Trip U.S.A. and remember Gwen selling her 45's. What I also remember is that there was a record show on Sunday morning and I must have heard that ------------------------------ bought Gwen's Johnny Hampton "Not My Girl" for $5 or $10 at least 15 times. So Gwen did bring at least one good 45 with her. -
Articles: Black Music Matters: Is a change gonna come?
The Yank replied to Soulville's topic in Front Page News & Articles
Great article! Just a minor correction- Louis Armstrong's "(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue" is actually from the late 1920's - -

It's highly likely that it is the same Frank Armstrong. What is confusing is the address on the FADA 45 you showed. Below are 2 items from Record World- the 1st from 1971 and the 2nd from 1975 which show FADA having a Los Angeles address. So... that's either the address of Duplex Black Record Distributors or Frank moved to Valdosta in 1973 and moved back to L.A. or he never updated his info for the magazine. Or something else entirely.

According to discogs, Nick was a member of the Four Internes (aka Internes) who recorded for Federal and Vee Jay in the 50's.

Hi- Just wanted to let you know this is not a "theory" I came up with. I took the information from a book. I happen to agree with the authors. If you don't- I think you should contact them and tell them why you think their information is wrong. Thanks ! Here's a group of RCA executives promoting the new 45 record and turntable in April of 1949-

The 1st 45 produced was "Pee Wee The Piccolo" on Dec. 7.1948. The 1st 45 released was Eddy Arnold "Boquet Of Roses" on March 31, 1949. The larger center hole was used to reduce friction and minimize damage on the 45 discs.

I don't think jukeboxes had anything to do with 45's having large center holes. The 1st jukebox to play 45's wasn't produced until over a year and a half after 45's were being manufactured. From Billboard November 4, 1950-

Just a few clarifications- some companies did try out pop- out centers but it never really caught on. 45 rpm EP's did have large center holes, EP's that played at 33 had the small center holes .

According to Steve Propes and Jim Dawson' book "45 rpm- The Heroes & Villains........" , it was a matter of convenience and to minimize stress on the records. Record changers which made it possible to stack discs on top of each other were popular. They found out that with 78's, that the records were getting chipped or cracked. So, to minimize damage on the 45's, engineers found out that a large center hole reduced friction and other stresses from record changers.

Discogs has this New World as being a different group to the Polydor New World. The site also says the 45 is on the EARS label (Expert Audio Repair Service) and has a link to their web site. When you click on the web site, it says the domain name is for sale ?
