The Ric-Tic Label


Soulandy

Recommended Posts

Just going through my small Ric-Tic collection and I have noticed that quite a few of my Red ones (106-118) have the numbers scratched in the run out as oppossed to the Blue ones (127-134) that have the numbers stamped in the runout, although a couple of the Red ones have a stamp on one side but not on the other. The one Yellow (103) and one DJ Copy (138) are both stamped yet Freddie Gorman (101) is scratched with a very small "Bell Sounds" stamp. Just curious as I'll be letting them go in the next couple of months and wondered if they were all originals or second press/re-issues. I've looked on here but can't find much info

Thanks

I checked my Ric-Tics and found the same thing. The only stamped ones I have pre 119 are Edwin's 2 Hits-

"Agent.." and "S.O.S. ...".  Without seeing your 45's, I would guess they are probably  all originals.  Discogs does have a section showing which Ric-Tics were bootlegged.

Just looking though the discogs site and for someone like me who doesn't really know about stamps and numbers, I find it interesting to see what I have or haven't got.

About 40 years ago I bought a "detroit" soul pack, direct from the states. One or two nice "northern" items but most just for label collectors I guess

Ric tic golden world some tamla, etc.

I did notice the ric tic were mostly not stamped and assumed not original.

Might have been wrong after all..

Interesting, my 112 has the number scratched in but no T1 that I can see. 108 again has the number scratched by with 55 or ss (quite difficult to tell) on the I'm Satisfied side  and s or 5 on the Blueberry Hill side. 107 has the number scratched in but there is nothing else that I can see

My 108 has T1 on both sides. My 112 issue has T1 on both sides. My 112 promo has the same info but with

an X on the "Festival Time" side.

My styrene Laura Lee demo scratched in as well. Years ago I had a red issue that from memory was stamped but it could be just my memory playing tricks
