is there a label out there that has produced ONLY ONE northern soul hit,as we all know many labels many hits,one or two labels a few hits and lets leave it to demos or original releases from the U.S.A..........i just know someone will put up something so bloody obvious........

There's probably loads, but one of the most obvious is Troy Dodds on El Camino.

Never seen anything else on the label.

Mars la Tour - Arthur Willis ? ( Probably talking bollox here )

Yes, there is a garage/rock 45 on this label by the 1492 Explorers. Same exact logo/color scheme

Marylin Smith on SoJamm....

yep, the Four Tracks is the only record on 'Mandingo'. The address on the label mispells the street name (Door vs Dorr)

There's a big misconception about what is a record 'label' spread by inconsistent sites on the internet. Back in the 60s (and the 1970s) anyone could record a couple songs and send the tape off to a custom pressing plant....in the process they would create a 'label name' for their record which could be a street one of the members lived on, a family pet, a little sisters' name, a mothers' name...etc. These names are 'labels' in the sense that they are printed as such, but there's no 'company' behind them and multiple releases were probably never intended or only dreamed about. IMO a label is only a label if it either was run by a party apart from the performer and which the owner (let's say financer) put money into for promotion and had at least one more release by a different act. There were some artist 'owned' labels that qualify if in addition to the artist's releases they released and promoted other artists who did not include the same performers.

Love to know what they are, the label was owned by Jackey Beavers and he told me that was the only release, it's also the only one listed in Groovesville book. But love to know so I can the search for them.

David vance-be mine again (TORCH)

nice mid tempo number, him and his friend formed the label to release this one record, recorded it overnight in a studio in miami( it was cheaper that way) pressed about 200 but it had no local success at all, he's now an artist iving / working in miami and when i emailed him he was so surprised that his record was being played in a 3 bed semi in wigan, lol, he'd forgotton all about it then told me all about how he had flu recording it and had to sleep on studio floor and had to record in one take, good story...atb phil
