Soul-slider Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) As a collector of Blue-eyed Soul/Beach/Garage/California Sound etc... I thought I'd ask about a curious 45 residing in my collection on 'Raven'. Not sure if it's the same label as the Soulmasters/Gene & Teambeats etc but it's from West Virginia. 'I'm So Tired' is a nice down-tempo ballad whilst 'Fat Woman' is a more funky uptempo offering. I know absolutely nothing about the group but found a nice tune by them on youtube, unfortunately it offers no information whatsoever about it's release so I'm asking if anyone on here knows if it was released?

George G Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Not the same Raven label as the Soulmasters, etc There are two records by the group, one on Raven and the other on Centennial. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soul-slider Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yes, I've seen the one on Centennial but only heard one side. Pity about the youtube clip not seeing any vinyl action Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Dave Turner Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Interesting site and page for you. See the bottom of this page As George states, two different Raven labels, the Esquires scan at the bottom is same Raven label as Pee Wee ( out of Clarksburg, VA) https://www.garagehangover.com/label/raven/ Edited August 17, 2014 by Dave Turner Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
