I am just curious...were there any soul acts on this label? On another forum, someone mentioned (after I mentioned about Barbera's passing earlier this month) there was a record label. Any help is MUCH appreciated.

Have a look

Now that's what I call a "proper" label discography! Lovely.

Agree 100% . Well worth the time to read .

I am intrigued by the ' review ' of " Cradle Of Love " by Ronnie & Robyn ( HBR 489 )

Anyone with a sound clip ?

No but, it is rubbish!

I am interested in hearing some of those Jean King sides. Looks like this label was mostly pop?

They are good mid-tempo beat ballad sides

As well as being the voice of HKF , Scatman was also the voice of Penrod " Penry " Pooch in HKF, and the voice of Jazz in The Transformers .

One of his best film roles was as the chef of The Overlook Hotel - Halloran - in Stanley Kubrick's " The Shining "

Mike - I have the Jean King LP and I'm pretty sure there is an Earl Gains LP - sure there must be others with a soul/rnb content.

No, the Josie and the Pussycats records were on Capitol - HBR had folded their record label by the time that the J & the P's cartoon was first screened. The LP is a hunderd dollars plus item - at least, it is everytime I don't win it on eBay!

That is a good one! I will add this to my must haves!

Also I seem to remember him on some episodes of "CHICO AND THE MAN"...very talented actor!

Tone...someone told me that it is a rare album...gonna keep a look out for it.

HBR 471 Bobby Loveless - Baby No More is great if a little insane, uptempo boogaloo soul with a breakdown halfway through that I swear includes the drummer using saucepans as an instrument!

That is a good one! I will add this to my must haves!

I HAVE A JEAN KING ........SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME ....FOR SALE £20

Was this ever played out anywhere? I've always thought of it as a 'tape' sound & don't recall hearing it out, but I may be wrong.

Here's one from my box - Porter Jordan - Nobody's Boy. HBR 505.

Actual 45 plays slightly faster than the clip, not a lot, it gets slowed down to suit the belgium popcorn scene and this slowed down version is all I have on my pc
