Anyone got an Ex they could loan us please. CDs and kudos to follow. Ady

Got it but I won't be able to get to it for 3 more months.  Only on white DJ.  Has anyone ever seen a stocker of it or The Marva Josie?  As far as I know, The Donays' was the only Correc-Tone production on Brent/Time that was pressed both on white DJ and red store stock.  

 

Did you know, Ady, that Laura Johnson was Wilbur  Golden's Correc-Tone Record Co. secretary, and that she financed her own recording session, produced by Robert Bateman.  It was arranged by their piano player, Willie Harbert.  Sonny Sanders was involved as well.  Popcorn Wylie produced The Donays' session.  They were all recorded at Golden's Correc-Tone Studio, whose construction Bateman had ordered, organised and overseen.  Bateman knew what he wanted, based upon what he learned from Mike McLean at Motown, so he got only the best equipment.  The high cost doomed Correc-Tone to failure, as Golden sunk all his cash into it, and didn't have enough money left to fund recording sessions and record pressing of all his signed artists.  So, he had to end up leasing recordings, and, eventually losing his artists.  He lost a good thing when he lost Wilson Pickett to Lloyd Price. 

 

Anyway, feel free to send your text blurbs to me before signing off on them.  I've seen lots of incorrect information on CD books.

Thanks Robb, a UK collector and DJ is kindly lending me a copy. I had heard that story before but only emanating from you. I'll send you the track listing in advance to prompt your memory. Cheers Ady

Just like my fellow Chicagoan late of this forum, I'm glad to be of service!

I know, I think he'll always spring to our minds on here.

I've got a burning question for you on another thread, which you may have abandoned for the night.  What does "any road up"  mean?  Quaint expression, that.
