Can anyone shed any light on the two different labels pse Washington Records & Aestuarium Recordings - I assume the former is the original release ?.

Thank you

aesturarium is an early 2000s reissue done by a chicago record collector (who also reissued some phil cohran material).

it did get pressed twice on washington sound though, once as the first family (with a blue label) and once as sugarhill (with a yellow label). not sure which one is first but both have identical recordings.

Thanks Bob, I'm assuming its a Garage record ?....do you have any idea of price for the yellow Washington release please - or anyone.

it is a great Milwaukee soul record, not garage at all. "that's love" is a killer sweet side (although that's not what people are buying it for). it comes up pretty regularly on ebay, you should get some idea of prices via popsike.

Thank you Bob.....think maybe it was that geetarrrrrrrr that through me a little. Thank you very much for the advise.

Kind regards

Russ

Great record, like very much the Slow Down side, I always wondered what kind of press was the Aestuarium you see on youtube, thanks to make clear!

I suppose that as First Family is a little harder to find that as Sugar Hill
