Deesu Discography


Recommended Posts

I've got some time on my hands and i looked to see if there was a disco of Deesu on the web and couldn't find one, so decided to build one, which has left me with a couple of questions.

Additions/amendments in Bold

301 - Wilbert Harrison - Clementine/Sentimental Journey

302 - Maurice Williams - Being Without You/Baby, Baby

303 - Daisy Burris - Four Strong Winds/In Love To Stay

304 - Zodiacs - May I (Speak With You)/This Feeling

305 - Warren Lee - Star Review/Waiting For A Bus

306 - Willie West - Greatest Love/Hello Mama

307 - Maurice Williams - Oo Poo Pah Do (Part 1)/Oo Poo Pah Do (Part 2)

308 - Carlton Lee & The Delfonics - Time Heals All Pain/Come On Down

309 - Zodiacs - Don't Ever Leave Me/Surely

310 - Zoofs - Get To Know Yourself/Not So Near

311 - Maurice Williams - Don't Be Half Safe/How To Pick A Winner

312 - Cleto & The Chaparrals - Miner Joe/Campy Stuff

313 - Joe Haywood - Say You Will/Sadie Mae

314 - Willie West - Did You Have Fun/Keep You Mine

315 - Warren Lee - Ever Since I've Been Loving You/Climb The Ladder

316 - Joe Haywood - Play A Cornbread Song For Me And My Baby/I Wanna Love You

317 - Willie West - Face The Music/Baby, Baby I Love You

318 - Maurice Williams & Zodiacs - Live In Concert Stay '68/Live In Concert Dance Dance'68

319 - Buddy Skipper - Restless Breed/Cancel The Reservation

320 - Eldridge Holmes - Now That I've Lost You/Where Is Love

45-300 - Eldridge Holmes - The Book/No Substitute

45-301 - Diamond Joe - Look Way Back/ABC Song

45-302 - Warren Lee - Mama Said We Can't Get Married/A Lady

45-303 - Eldridge Holmes - If I Were A Carpenter/No Substitute

45-304 - ?? - ??/??

45-305 - Eldridge Holmes - Lovely Woman/What's Your Name

45-306 - Toby King - Operator/Love One Another

1006 - Gospel Cavaliers - You Can't Make It On Your Own/Jesus is waiting

601 - George Porters' Joyride - Cissy Strut/Sneaky Freaky

602 - Gospel Cavaliers - Live My Life/Love One Another

I don't have the Daisy Burris, so would like to know what the other side is?

I'd like to see if someone has a scan of the Wilbert Harrison release

Was release 316 by Joe Haywood the last Deesu release distributed by Dover? I don't have 317/318 and the Buddy Skipper and Eldridge Holmes don't mention Dover even though they're still under the old numbering system.

Under the new numbering system I can't seem to find any reference for release 45-304 which is sandwiched between two Eldridge Holmes releases.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated by this sad anorak

Daisy Burris is In Love To Stay/Four Strong Winds

There's no listing for 45-304 in R&B Indies.

Then there is the 3000 series which you have these listed as 301 and 302 but in R&B Indies they are 3001/3002??? 300 series then kicks off with 303 according to R&B Indies (not always right)

different label design for first number (hyphen between E-U)

DEE-SU

3001 Wilbert Harrison - Clementine (205-1723) b/w Sentimental Journey (205-1724)

DEESU

3002 Maurice Williams - Beng Without You (2-5-1725) b/w Baby Baby (205-1726)

The 45-300 series are 1970 and have the design with what looks like a coin with head on it and Deesu Records Francais going around it.

all the tracks 3001/3002, 3003 to 316 appear to have the same matrix numbering, 205-1723 and son on. 317 no matrix details.

318, 319, 320 have DS-1000 to DS1006

The 70's releases have DR-430 to DR 443.

There appears to be one other release by the Gospel Cavaliers - You Can Make It On Your Own/? (1006)

dunno where this fits in?

I started to think I'd got it wrong regarding Maurice Williams - Being Without You/Baby Baby, being released as 302. I've just checked again, maybe it got released twice under the old and new numbes?

Never heard of those 600 numbers, any chance of an upload into Refosoul? :hatsoff2:

DEESU # 304 ZODIACS # THIS FEELING / MAY I

deesu # 303 daisy burris # in love to stay / Four Strong Winds

he had that 304 # listed above, the record he needs is 45-304 which is apparently part of a different deesu series

I think 316 is indeed the last Deesu release distributed by Dover, 317/318 also don't mention Dover:

Under the new numbering system I can't seem to find any reference for release 45-304 which is sandwiched between two Eldridge Holmes releases.

Just a guess, but maybe 45-304 was reserved for Eldridge Holmes - Working In The Coalmine / A Love Problem, which was picked up by Decca. (Deesu 320 was also released on Decca.)
