Solidsoul Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 My Nancy Butts has the GM scratched in the run out groove. I have seen this on other records like Calvin Williams on Northern Del La. There is also the Detroit area label GM. Mr Floods Party etc. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I wonder if the GM is for GM Recording Studio? https://www.discogs.com/label/285841-GM-Studios 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

My understanding is that this is the case - somewhere on SS there is a thread on how it came to be that 300 were pressed, specifically for the UK market - that story was confirmed to me by Henry Martins when I met him several years ago in Dearborn. It's a great record - in fact it's getting a UK release in a few weeks ..... 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 another earlier topic as well.... Can someone confirm that the GM in the run out is followed by an R? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dewsburyborn Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Yes, those were the ones. I met Henry Martins who came to my hotel and then on a later trip met his daughter Abike Martins.. I was scheduled to meet Angela Davis but she was unwell at the time so that didn't happen. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Can someone confirm that the GM in the run out is followed by an R? There is a GM scratched in the run out. Then a quarter of the way round from it there is an R scratched in. Further around Flaming Arrow and the release number is scratched in. The vinyl is not the modern flexible type. It is vinyl, but not very flexible. It feels like an late 60's early 70's type plastic.

After reading this article it seems that the person who brought the records over from the State's was married the writers daughter Eugene Davis. Could Eugene Davis of had them for years but had never been able to sell them! The son in law didn't get them made for the Northern Scene, he wasn't into it and it wasn't known. Maybe he brought them over to the UK because he thought he would have more of a chance of selling them over here.

Discogs has it has GM R Back in the 90's I sourced several copies of this from a Nashville based music publisher, and also a single used copy from someone in New York. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The R could denote the RCA pressing plant at Rockway then, GM being the master, engineer or something else altogether? Rockway closed in 1973. Can anyone post a scan of the runout details?

If the R does denote an RCA press then it was an early 70s press in the US. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
