Robbk Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) I seem to remember reading that Jobettes' record was from Indiana (but it wasn't listed on The Indiana Soul website. Kevin Knox was a Canadian entertainer. His company (with Ltd. in the title), must have been a Canadian company. But the record was a US pressing.

Chalky Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The scan says everything with kevin Knox Ent indicates New York so would assume th group from there as well. Would assume it is the NY Jobette Office taking the action against Knox? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
