Robbk Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) We've talked about Compass Records regarding The Ohio Players. I had always thought it was a Midwestern ( Ohio) label. But people on this forum said it was a New York label, reminding me that Johnny Brantley worked out of New York. Yet, I don't remember seeing ANY New York artist getting a Compass release. I assumed that these Adventurers are the same Milwaukee group that had releases on Chicago's Ran-Dee and Blue Rock. Is this true? Or were they a different, East Coast Group? Didn't Greg Perry work out of Detroit? Wasn't he a cousin of one of The Temptations (or someone at Motown)?

Right; they were at times the Ohio Players (Capitol & Compass), the Adventurers (Ran-Dee, Music World, Blue Rock), the Chosen Few (Maple/Canyon)) with Gregg Perry involvement here and there on different formations and team under Johnny Brantley's supervision.

I am! Always nice to know where your old tunes end up, I started putting details on the flip side after buying a copy of the Volcanos "False alarm" from Derek Banner where he had very neatly engraved his name etc on there - I stopped putting my address on by '77ish, so I would guess it must be from my first collection. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Millo Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) Are there two boots? One with CO-7010 and one with C222, both scratched in. My copy has black text, no radio station reference, C222 scratched in and no R stamp. I thought that it was a second issue or a boot. Can anyone confirm please.

Pga1 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hiya, co-7010 printed on label left hand side. C-222 printed at bottom of label, then c-222 scratched in. No stamp but I suppose there may be other ones ? Cheers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Garethx Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The R means it was pressed by RCA's Rockaway plant in Queens, New York. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
