Hi all,

Does anyone know which rock and roll star was associated with this label. Mate of mine needs to know to out do his father in law

Cheers Trev

"Cuppy" was Bill Haley's wife (Joan Barbara).

I don't know if she actually ran the label or if it was someone else associated with Bill Haley though.

her full name was Barbara Joan Cupchack.

According to R&B indies it was owned by Bill Haley, Cuppy Haley (his wife no doubt), Tony Messina and Sonny Cassella.

according to R&B indies, The Snaps (103) and Al Tigro (112). Seems to be a few missing between 103 and 112.

Showstoppers,"house party" is that on the same label..purple and yellow thing.

What are Snaps and Al Tigro tracks like?

I recently contacted the Thornton Sisters and found out that the track I Keep Forgettin on this label is actually not them. Does anyone have any ideas who it might be?

showstoppers is party time in u.s and beacon u.k

Snaps is a garage record. moderately rare but not that expensive.

bought this a couple of months ago, had never seen/heard it before, heavy funky moddy type instrumental, not bad....

What are the Heritage Showstopppers, are they reissues/boots? (I only have a Beacon copy)

TOTP

really ? so did they know about this 45 existed before you contacted them ? remember one doo wop site I came across some ten years ago while doing research for and on bobby adams where their bio- and discography was on plus pictures etc. it included this cuppy 45.

Was that the Ditchdiggers Daughters site Marc?

What are the Heritage Showstopppers, are they reissues/boots? (I only have a Beacon copy)

TOTP

Jerry Ross signed the Showstoppers after the record became a hit here. He bought the group's contract and masters from Party Time, and reissued ANBAHP on Heritage in the hope that he'd be able to turn it into a US Hot 100 hit.

hi marc, its cuppy C-1019 "BIG BEAR" flipped with "PEOPLE" by the BIG BEAR REVUE

Was that the Ditchdiggers Daughters site Marc?

No. I sadly cant find it anymore. It was US based Doo Wop related site. It may have gone offsite by now. But I found this (maybe the same as you?)...

So opposite to what deanosounds was being told, the Cuppy 45 obviously is by THE Thornton Sisters

Marc, the YouTube vid linked to the comment is no longer available. You're sure she talks about "I keep forgettin" and not about the other release ("Big City Boy" wasn't it?)

hit the other link mate, its the same Thornton sisters

Marc, I clicked all links but still can't see any evidence they're talking about the Cuppy 45 and not the Bobsan one *puzzled*

Google'd a bit (as you do when in the office ) and found this article here. See comment at bottom of it, looks like it's not "the" Thornton Sisters on Cuppy (not that it really bothers me to be honest)

just found this!

now before i'm bombarded with pm's it's utter shite

atb vince

That's too funny! This is woman who told me it wasn't the Thornton Sisters and she was in the group! I think the youtube link was put up with probably just thornton sisters in the title and it turned out to be that track because it's been removed.

Don't mean to agrue. I just want to get to the bottom of this.

both links are about the same people involved. the second link adds to that pictures which show the thornton sisters on cuppy. so thats the evidence here..I am bothered big time by the way. have always liked the thornton sisters on cuppy and the label itself.

Sorry, I'm lost. Can't see any picture of any Thornton Sisters on Cuppy. Just pictures of a group called The Thornton Sisters.

BTW, just played I keep forgettin and Big City Boy after each other. They sound miles apart.
