fANTASTIC Thanks mate,does anyone have any addittions to list?

Baz i have a listing that has 43 tracks listed right up to 1983, helluva lot to type mate, any particular ones you need too know ? seems strange i have two Virtue listings with different Philadelphia addresses one runs from 1969-83 the other 1970 -73 ? (this one distributed via Mercury Frank Virtues label), yet some of the artists record on both ?

Confused.

Brett

Here is a listing that I have put together. Any additions are most welcome.

VIRTUE 9776 - Quiet Storm - High Horse / ?

Flip to this is 'High Horse Part IV' by 'Virtue Orchestra'.

Found a copy of this 45 recently, seriously up tempo banging track which ticks all the right boxes for me

I just searched for some scans to post up on this thread and managed to stumble across 3 items that I hadn't mentioned in my previous listing:

VIRTUE 4976 - New World - The World Today / Master J.

VIRTUE 91572 - Mickey Mousey - I Never Knew / Button

VIRTUE 111280 - Gospel Ambassadors - Trouble Of The World / Please Search The Book Again

So the rare New World 45 was apparently released twice!

I've added the above info to the discography now.

Here are some scans:

An acetate:

Edited October 13, 200816 yr by Sebastian

101470 The Creations - "Take these memories/Don't let me down"

4575 New World - "A friend who is not a friend/To be a man"

Flip to the Past Due track - Virtue 71676 - is "Something else"

Superb! Have added this info to the discography.

You don't happen to have soundclips of 4575?

Edited October 13, 200816 yr by Sebastian

Here's a scan of 4575, I sold my copy a long time ago, and I don't think many people knew it then (probably few still do). I may have the tunes on an old cassette mix, but I did not know how to record onto my computer then, unfortunately.

Anybody else seen green labels on Virtue 45s? I'm pretty sure this is the only one I ever had.

Anthony Hall "Baby girl of mine" is on Virtue too, early 60s, or maybe late 50s stuff. Incredibly rare too.

I don't think this virtue label existed in the early 60s

Great tune!

Was a bit surprised when a Virtue acetate of this sold for a whooping $405 (!) a couple of weeks ago on eBay.

It was listed as "unknown male vocalist" and I guess the buyer didn't know what it actually was (and that original copies usually goes for £10-£15). Or they really wanted to have the original acetate.

Didn't know it was that well known has it ever been played out, would love to here it on a large sound system

I believe the yellow v. black "The World Today" 45s are different recordings of the same tune.

I remember this being discussed on the funk45 board a while back.

Ronnie Walker "In search of Love"

Hey Sebastian:

VIRTUE 2522 - Creations - How Sweetly Simple / Lovin' Simple

There's a slight mistake on this one, it should be: "Lovin' Feeling"

Nice tune it is too!

Another one for your list.

Skippy Devine - There'll be some changes made/You'll never walk alone V-111977-T/V-111977-Y, arranged & conducted by Bobby Martin, Address 1618 N.Broad St, Phila PA 19121

Keep the good work up folks

Des Parker

Thanks for this info! Have added it (and the correct Creations b-side) to the list above.

ANYONE GOT A SKIPPY DEVINE SOUNDCLIP?

BAZ A

I've got the record I can send you, if you send me the postage, it's not that good though!

Des Parker

Just going back through this old topic.

 

Can anyone confirm whether Prince Johnny Robinson - This Girl Is Rated X - was released on Virtue?

 

Or was it only released on Andee ?
