Kapps a weird label; loads & loads of MOR stuff - old ladies music, old orchestras, etc .... and then the great soul stuff !!!

Who owned & ran the label and just what was their game plan for the label ...... ANYONE KNOW ??

My all-time favourite 45 on KAPP is however an early one by Ronnie James Dio (yes, that guy) from 1965. A tune penned by Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann called "Where You Gonna Run To, Girl". Hardly soul by any stretch of the imagination, but a fantastic track if you're into Brill Building pop. :)

Surely something within Billboard to cut'n'paste :lol:

I know there is a mention of them signing a Mr.Rubin Parker ...I have it within my piles of said magazines. :thumbsup:

Hard to imagine the connection between the artist as he later became and such a great track.

Amongst my favourites would be the Exits - "Another sundown in Watts" a sublime piece of soul music.

My favourites include all of Lenny Welch's output and 45s by....

Chi Chi,

Revels,

Sissie Houston

Sound Judgement

Mighty Joe Drake......

Although i love the Vernon Garrett 45, my fave on Kapp is still this one:

Only seen two issues of this for sale, all the others are white demos.

SteveL - if we ever do that oldies dance spot, I'll have this. From where it began for me:

Bit of a marmite record, at the moment I like it but if I heard it out twice I'd soon go off it!

On the subject, I see you have listed a copy of 'Patti & The Emblems'. How is it possible to tell an original promo, from one of the re-presses?

Hi Steve

I'm not an expert but the repro's/boots have a black 'A' . Also I think that I have seen repro's with a red 'A' (think these have appeared relatively recently) that are so obviously duds that it's immediately apparent that they are not original.

Someone like Pete S could probably give you chapter and verse.

Rubin featured here as a new release ......

Billboard - 11 Nov 1967 - Page 12

Jerry Williams composed the flip side but Jerry doesn't recall who Rubin actually was

Only posting as a label curiosity . . . unless of course you want it, in which case it's an exclusive hard to find dance floor monster, just right for today's scene :sleep3:

In my non-expert opinion....that's an Original!!!

Joking aside...definite Original Promo!

Edited by Brooky

In your opinions, would you say that this is an original promo please?

If it's got delta number 103291 in the run-out groove then it's the repro/bootleg.

Genuine.

If anyone has got a mint looking promo that sadly plays all the way through with a hiss, then maybe it's my old copy...it got damaged when I DJed with it one time. Shame really as I had bought that copy from Russ Winstanley straight off the decks at one of the final Casino nighters!! Almost wish I had kept it now for sentimental reasons!
