Ian Dewhirst Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm buried in label copy today and had cause to check the Chess listings and suddenly bumped into this on an official Chess discography:- 2016 The Matta Baby Do The Pearl, Girl - Part 1 Do The Pearl, Girl - Part 2 1967 I've never seen this record on Chess. I presume the listing is wrong but it makes me wonder how it got there and what Chess 2016 actually is, assuming it's not Matta Baby. Anyone know?

Robbk Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Chess distributed Richard Pegue's Penny Records at that time. I NEVER saw Chess 2016 (Matta Baby). I lived in Chicago at that time, frequented most of the record shops that had large stocks of soul records, and several of the major Soul distributors, and the thrift stores where many of the DJ copies landed. I never saw it nor heard of anyone finding it. There were several other small Chicago labels distributed by Chess at that time, that also used Chess catalogue numbers. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 it came out on PENNY RECORDS ......and CHESS 2016 ...1967...https://www.globaldogproductions.info/c/chess.html Both Global Dog AND Soulful Kinda Music discographies contain a few errors of that type (in which records were assigned but not released, or in which a distributed label used the distributor label's catalogue numbers, but there was no corresponding release by the mother label. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Steve G Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Thought as much. Cheers Steve. That's a confusing number system for Chess isn't it? Ian D Yes Ian I have collected the entire Chess singles from 64-76, and there are a number on a wealth of other labels like Rojac, East West, Lakeside, Magic Touch etc. and of course Penny. I think every Chess discography I have seen contains errors and a few reacords that never actually appeared. I was going to do a book, one page on each one, with a picture of the label and a bit about it beneath.....it's something I might still do. By the way I am missing The Matta Baby on Penny if anyone has an original for sale...... Edited October 6, 2014 by Steve G Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian D I guess this explains why The Shirtails - The Ceiling / Stay Away From The Fog appears on Checker listings as 1159. That's the cat number of the Prime label issue. I've never seen a Checker copy - has anyone else? 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
