I just got a copy of Billy sha rae , "do it" on the houglass label, is this a re-issue label as it is only listed as being on the spectrum label.(i,m going off the price guide here so excuse my ignorance.)

the very same ken, but is that a sister company of spectrum?

I found a good piece about it on google,but cant find it no more i think the label is owned by the same person as spectrum,and it came out on triple b as a instrumental sorry i cant be more help.

it's not a sister company, it's a contemporary label that picked up material, they also picked up a mandells single. so it's a reissue in a sense, but not a reissue like a reissue at a later date post-hit, more like atlantic picking up a smaller label, except in this case a small label picking up a smaller label.

i don't know the ownership by the way, so it might be owned by the spectrum people, but I don't think so.

TripleB is by Johnny Griffith and the Billy Sha Rae Band, I'm guessing that it's a goodly number of the Funk Bros on there given the connections. Tis the best ( and cheapest) version for me

There are a couple of Ronnie Mitchell releases on Hour Glas too

The Gayletts do a nice rocksteady version of Son of A Preacher Man on Hourglass...

I assumed that Hourglass was a US label releasing Jamaican titles.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
