45cellar Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) Hi I have often wondered about the releases during the 60's. Who decided to release for instance "Whats Wrong With Me Baby" and not "Skiing In The Snow" In fact who decided on any of the soul releases, or was it virtually a random sample of USA releases that they gained the rights to via some of the pop hits Which Label would you say now with hindsight was the most Influential. I would have to say the Stateside Label Anyone? Edited May 6, 2006 by 45cellar Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Makemvinyl Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) Personally Sue records for the very diverse catalogue in the UK Soul icons Ike And Tina Inez and Charlie Phil upchurch Manhattans Billy Preston Donnie Elbert Baby Washington Olympics Joe Tex Jimmy Mcgriff Lowell Fulsom Elmore James James Brown to name but a few Whose R nB influenced a lot of people IMO Edited May 6, 2006 by MAKEMVINYL Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Chicago biggies,Okeh,Chess/cadet there bloody loads of them...It really depends on personal taste. Wake up Gash! It says "UK Labels" Try these Influential on what by the way? If it means getting Brits interested in soul music I would have though Tamla Motown would be up there.

Supercorsa Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 What about Dave Godin's Soul City label? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
John Al Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 What about Dave Godin's Soul City label? I would say Chess. Masses of releases and very few overtly commercial. You would have to mention also HMV and at least nod toward Columbia. John. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Netspeaky Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Has to be TAMLA MOTOWN or STAX/ATLANTIC, we wouldn't have checked out the others without them. You would never have come across an Invitations without the TEMPTATIONS or James Carr without OTIS REDDING. If anybody says different they are talking from todays point of view (Hindsight) not the 60's when they were released. Sue would have followed hot on the heels of the above.
