Tony Turner sent me a MP3 of this track last week, a really great track,  The Indelgents - Stop (You're Breaking My Heart).

I was looking at a scan of the label, then realised it was the same as the old 'Dream Merchants' release on Renee records, that used to be in so many sales boxes.

On a further look at the two labels, they are almost the same, in design and print, both Philly tracks, and good ones... Ive had a few things on Renee records over the years, but never had  'The Indelgents' or anything on 'Jenges' records, is this the same group of labels?

I haven't looked on Discogs, and Id prefer not to, lets use the knowledge on this site :-)O Anybody know the story behind these two?

Always assumed they are the same group.  Jenges being the first release?

If you type  "Indelgents" into the Soul-source search box you will find several topics covering this. I remember it being discussed a number of times.

I think it's a great record and a good one to hear in a venue!

Looks like the late Bob Abrahamian (Bobo) had it right...

The Jenges 5002 , 45 has a different b side to the the Renee 45 'the girl i need', which was also issued on jenges 5003 , its an uptempo dancer , the indelgents has the same b side as the renee 45.

5002 was pressed twice actually, both copies read "the girl I need" but one of the pressings plays a different cut.

and Mark White added "Harry Moon "Stop (You're Breaking My Heart)" on Sin, who also had a release as Harry moon on Jenges... So the circle is complete, same song, same group, same group, of labels...

Cool track though,  thought it sounded just like Paramount Four (Southern City) and Four Sights (Shy-Soul), kinda between the two so to speak....

They were the essentially same group and the same group of labels. I remember some discussion around this on the Satan's Breed (Jenges) thread.

Jenges 5002 Dream Merchants - Stop.../ The Girl I need (Master 458AA-1)

Jenges 5002 Dream Merchants - Stop.../ Can't pull myself away from you (master 4548A label reads 'The girl I love)

Jenges 5003 Dream Merchants - Since you left / The girl I need

Jenges 5006 Satan's Breed - Since you left / Road Runner 

Renee 5002 Dream Merchants - Stop../ Give up (all I got)

Sin 4553 Harry Moon & Fide - Stop.../ Woman's Man

I've also got this one......
