Does anyone know of a good website where I can gather information on record labels?

Failing that, any of you know the place of origin of those labels:

CHERRY

ANDEE

CLAMIKE

BOSS

TUFF

Thanks in advance!

There's listings on Dave Rimmer's excellent Soulful Kinda Music.

Or you could try Dave Flynn's Anorak's Corner.

Not sure without having a look at label for clues, Mighty Sam recorded on the label.

June Bateman recorded for Clamike. Also recorded for Odessa but need a nosey at label for clues. Any scans anyone for these and also for Cherry?

This is a strange label, I have a Might Sam 45 which looks fine, but also a William Bell Marching Off To War that was on Stax and would have no reason to be on this label, also did a very boot looking 45 of Drifters _ Gotta Pay Your Dues not appear on this?

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Well O-Gee is a New York label so presume Clamike the same

I am enlighted! Thanks for the info.

However the Cherry label is a mysterious one...

Ok, I went to the cave to get the record for some more details and there it was: Hartford, Connecticut. Well embarassing!

Sorry everyone

Certainly did, along with the "Arctic Strings" (yeah right!) "Turn me on", and talking of which wasn't that "Meditation of the soul" sitar inst. on there as well. Did someone just hijack the label?

Jerry.

This is a good site for label discographies:
