bazarakus Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Folks. I have THE GIRL I LOVE by CHINO FEASTER on SHIPP and wondered if anyone could enlighten me about the record or the artist? I can't find a release year, which makes me suspicious ... I found what feels like an earlier, boogaloo latin version of the same song by Chino Feather, which must be the same guy, rite? Does anyone else have it? It wasn't tagged as a reissue when I bought it leastways ... Any illumination greatly appreciated! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I had read some of that before I tink, but not the updated bit. So the date remains a mystery; I did figure late 60s or early 70s. Tanks again.

Tomangoes Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Pretty sure it made up a lot of soul bowl soul packs in the late 70s. Nice tune..Nice voice...probably works better today. Ed Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not 100% sure they are the same people but, there were a Claude and Carl Feaster in the Doo Wop group the Chords. Claude is one of the writers of the Doo Wop Classic "Sh-Boom".

Gold Band Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The problem with the top side of the Straker's Version is it has a Christmas Intro, The Shipp version is an all round year record (Nice Cheapy) Kirsty Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gold Band Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Someone has the Shipp version at '67 I tend to agree the Chino Feather version on Chex '63 & on Gateway '66 the Straker's version much later mid 70's for the Christmas Market... I can see that the Cashbox shows it at '71 but that doesn't mean it was cut then... Kirsty Edited January 16, 2021 by Gold Band Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

To promote it further out of this ethnic domain another label is indeed indicated. Can anyone tell us through a direct comparison if they are the same take/mix ?

Tlscapital Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 OK, I could've done that myself... Am rather busy lately so really thanks for that little work. Yes, different takes. Mhm am happy with my long-long owned Shipp press and much more coherent take. Never need to look further on that one 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
