Song Bird is a subsiduary of Peacock owned by Don D. Robey. He also owned Duke but if I remember rightly he didn't start the label but bought it after it had been in operation some years.

I'll have to see some scans of others as can't evern remeber what some look like

LORD LUTHER MY MISTAKE ON SCHIRECK [GOT ONE BUT NOT A CLUE ON THE AREA KNOW ITS HARD THOUGH AND BRILL IMHO]

Can't help with location, but you're right this one's a nice record, pretty rare too

Sunshine records, if there's a connection to TK then it will be Henry Stone, he owned TK.

Majestic I don't have anymore and scan I've looked at is un readable, same for Lord Luther which looks west coast?

THANKS CHALKY,THE MAJESTIC TRACK SEEMED TO JUST POP UP ON EBAY BOUT 6 MONTHS THEN DISSAPEAR AGAIN. I MUST ADMIT ITS A GREAT TRACK AND THE EQAUTOR LOGO I HAVE NOT GOT A CLUE ABOUT.

NOW THE ONLY ARCHIVES TRACK I HAVE IS BY LEE ELDRED CALLED RECOUPERATING ,WITH A BRILL FLIP BALLAD,£15 OFF JOHN MANSHIP AND THE BEST £15 EVER SPEND,STILL HOWEVER DONT KNOW THE LOGO ORIGIN.

Well i have it on very good authority that the Equator label is out of New Orleans the arranger Edward Frank was a renowned New Orleans session pianist, he can also be found on the New Orleans Etah recordings. hope thats of interest.

Lord Luther My Mistake (Schireck) this label is out of New York and is affiliated in some way to the Tarx & Triode labels Lord Luther has often been reputed to have been a very young Luther Vandross????

On looking at the label I thought New Orleans, dunno why, just the style of writing I suppose similiar to others from that area I suppose. Couldn't read the credits etc to get any other clues.

Lord Luther and the Schireck label were based out of the BAY AREA in Ca. (Not New York) Alec Palao and I are putting together a cd of Lord's stuff, mostly late 50's / early 60's screaming R&B, including 2 different versions of I was A Teenage Creature. He was in The Four Deuces who did W-P-L-J- (White Port Lemon Juice) on Music City outta Oakland. The single on Schireck is his only Northern Souler. We are looking for someone who has a mint copy that they can dub and scan for our cd project. The copy we have access to isn't very nice. The Lord is still alive and well and is in his early 7ts. The cd will either be on Ace Records or Frantic Records. We also have tons of other tapes from the Frantic vaults, lots of unreleased all recorded in the late 50's & early 60's, Some killer group stuff!!! Luther Vandross...Now that's hilarious!

The Schireck label owner has no tapes of records. Great people though. The LORD LUTHER 45 was their only release.

TOTW tune........great stuff

I would have thought the best known 45 on ARCHIVE among soul & funk collectors would be that great funk 45 by Sammy Gordon & the Hip Huggers "Upstairs on Boston Road Parts 1 & 2"

I also believe that Lee Eldred's "Recuperating" got picked up for national distribution by Chess, although I too have always thought that ARCHIVES is a New York label.

Also ARCHIVES may have had something to do with the notorious Hy Weiss who famously owned the OLD TOWN label ...

There was loads of these on ebay a few years back from a seller called Mayeluquet along with shed loads of other New Orleans stuff which she bought out in mass stock from a warehouse /shop, so I assumed it was a New Orleans label

Can't help with location, but you're right this one's a nice record, pretty rare too

San Francisco or the outer bay area is the only place I've ever found this 45.

Lord Luther My Mistake (Schireck) this label is out of New York and is affiliated in some way to the Tarx & Triode labels Lord Luther has often been reputed to have been a very young Luther Vandross????

Fantastic story and totally believable, but wrong. A very young Luther Vandross? but sounding like a very old Luther Vandross with a cronic throat infection..

What is the price of the Lord Luther these days?
