Soul/garage 45S From Greenville Mississippi

July 10, 200916 yr

the problem is that many of these were not only pressed in chicago but many actually ended up being chicago artists. for example, the spencer jackson family "bring back peace to the world" on little lynns. i can fill in a bunch of random numbers for you later if you want though. there are a ton of big beat #s.

Seems like an interesting little family of labels/releases from there in the 60s. Here's what I got so far, please add any more info if you can.

Yeah, that'd be cool if you can fill any gaps. Seems like they had a bit of a mess of labels/artists/distribution happening related to this all. Crazy. Seems like it might be an interesting story if anyone could ever untangle the web of things enough to explain it.

i will dig stuff out when i get a chance. off the top of my head there is a cherries on big beat. there is an ultra-rare triplett twins 45 on markeda. I think you're missing a whole sublabel, like greens iii or something like that.

Interesting that that Pops Porter is on Bar-Bare as well as Terrell. I think they must have done a fair few north/south cross-releases. Crazy title for a song.

i will post a scan of the triplett twins for you tonight

Does this song have anything to do with Tina Turner's then current predicament??

No, The Dungill Sisters 45 title refers to poverty, social unrest, violence in general, etc. Perhaps Tina is the lead singer of the sisters? The 45 is not among the better releases on the set of labels.

Another 45 which is not in the list yet:

This was a little powerhouse for a few years in the south. Reggie eventually went miss from the taxman. His writing partner was Vikki Williams, both are nowhere to be found.

The reason for Chicago connection is that they had a branch of the distribution set up in Cottage Grove, Chicago for about 2 years, so at that time also picked up local artists there as well.

The Greenville set up was closed down, looted and then caught fire and all the stock distroyed. I did here a roumor that Reggie had found god and was working somewhere in the south as a preacher, under a different name, but that was as far as it went.

Greenville is a tiny little town on the banks of the river, the next nearest town, about 10 miles away is the birth place of BB King. The only reason I could see for the opperation being there was that is was fairly central on the old highway network to service the deep south, before the growth of the interstates.

I also have a few other later local releases from there, no connection to Lyn's Distribution, but would have to search for them. The town now has one record store, CD's only. All the record stock was cleaned out by none other than John Anderson many moon's ago.

Yes, apparently most of the operation upped roots & moved to Chicago entirely in the early 70s where it mutated into the REW, MTH & MTVH group of operations.

here is the triplett twins. I think there is a pumpkin label you're missing too, I have to think about it.

Check the site above. there is a rockabilly 45 on the "By-Love label shown from greenville. if you click on the tiny camera you can see the label. you may also notice there is a big beat label from wisconsin. if go to the main page and look under geographical there are quite a few other listings under mississippi.

i dont know where this big beat is from but it may not be from mississippi.
