not sure if there are re-issues of this, but it should have the address round the bottom of the label. ya mamie galore with the split coloured label is from the 200 series that followed on from Satellite label the latter St lawrence are all pink I think. I know Johnny Sayles "I Cant get enough" has re-issues and the difference is the lack of Chicago address round the bottom.

Pity ya got single sided demo, coz the tother side "Never let Your Love Grow Cold" is awesome imo

Here is the >>> St Lawrence label at Hitsville Soul Club <<<

We haven't completed yet, I haven't seen a one sided DEMO for this,

but the previous number 1022 shows a One Sided DEMO.

Just been on PopSike.com

All show "Never let Your Love Grow Cold" side

Not sure about this one, address missing but that could be the way the label has been cut out

as there is a hint of an address to the bottom right of the scan.

agree wid ya Roger, got the address and all, also that 2nd scan of yours also appears to have the addy, tho as you say it seems cropped

steve

Is the Burgess Gardner referred to on the label the jazz trumpeter ?

Cheers Paul

Yes, looks very nice that DEMO as I say first time I have seen a copy.

The St Lawrence label changed slightly throughout it's run.

Address just under the logo on the early numbers,

Address at the bottom of the label later numbers.

There is also the Styrene West Coast Pink Label if you can find them.

Id say one and the same Paul, Burgess's name turns up on so many class St Lawrence and other Chicago recordings He also had his own label "Down To Earth" think his son is following in his footsteps, tho on Trombone instead of trumpet.... unless theres 2 Burgess Gardners from chicago?

The Mamie Galore "It Ain't Necessary" should have the full publishing company details, Cragvee and Overcome on the left hand side, some just have Overcome and don't look right.

The Vontastics you describe seams ok to me. But like many labels its different rules for different releases!

also plain white with blue writing label with no addy (an early one) Roger

steve

Yes, forgot about this one Steve.

Seen it on White & Pink too

There was a Burgess Gardner album on MCA C.1980, with an instrumental version of a track by Candy Edwards (Detroit). Is that the same guy?

Think we may have to dig out that old rarer issue's & demo's thread again Roger !

yeah, Vontastics great double sider with terrific horn work on "You can Work It Out" that I think has a similar feel to " Fatman (Batman) at the Go Go" that Monk Higgins also had a hand in.

Or is it just me?

"Music Year 2000", came out 1983, had an instr. of Al Hudsons "Spread Love" on it, and IIRC "Little Bellflower" got plays as well.

Not had a chance to check my copy but I'm almost sure it was issued as We not You Can Work It Out.

Those St Lawrence demos (ie DJ Copy) never had addresses on them, meethinks it has something to do with the distributor (Chess ?)
