Hey Martin, How's things with you? Recovering suitably well I hope?

Thanks for the info. I'd forgotten it also came out on Candix and after checking the label dicography, I see it's not listed, as your snippet of info would support. However, how do you know it was a circa '61 release, or non-release as the case may be?

If it's got a Monarch master number in the run off between roughly 37400 and 42000 it would indicate a 1961 release date.

Thanks Joe.

So, who can confirm this for me (us)?

As far as I recall the Candix label was not pressed by Monarch . Surfin' by the beach boys on the label was released in 1961 and the label went bust early 1962 so that's why I guess 1961.

Cheers pal, I'll go with that.

The recording sounds way too old in acoustics and song-writing style to be from 1965. I bought those Storm records in about 1962. I guessed they were released in 1961 or 1962. The Prelude release is likely just a re-issue of J.J. and The Jackals, June Jackson put out in 1965 to try to cash in on his local popularity. He was making some appearences in the L.A. area then (which got him his contract with Imperial). Does anyone here know who owned Prelude Records?

......well i suppose i was saying something along those lines..the candix and storm releases may stem from 1961/62 but the prelude one is a few years down the line 64/5 0r even 66

Billboard Music Week dated January 23 1961 (page 18) is a paid advert for a number or Storm label releases (noted as distributed by Candix) which includes J J Jackson (501 label number) .

therefore I suggest it was released late 1960 because it is referred to as a smash hit!

Do you think I can spend time researching historic BIllboards if I was back to work! I'm still off with my ipad close to hand :-)

Thanks for asking.

Wasn't Prelude a Philly based reissue kinda label?

The JJ Jackson Prelude label was west coast (L.A.?) based, same as Mac Staten "There she goes".

Prelude was indeed H B's label
