HI BAZ, HERE'S ANOTHER GOODIE ON ABBOTT WHICH I POSTED A WHILE BACK IN SWEET N DEEP. SUPER VERSION, IS THIS THE ORIGINAL ?

ATB PAT

There is enough decent stuff on Abbott to fill a CD - where is Ady C or Trouncey whn you need them? I am sure they could deliver the goods

Edited October 20, 200816 yr by Steve G

The original (local) release of "Give A Man A Break" is on UPLOOK. The later national release is on ABBOTT.

An absolute monster tune on either of the labels ofcourse!

The other two Charles Mintz singles on Uplook are:

Since I Found You Girl b/w Blues So Bad

Lucky Guy b/w Running Back

One easy to find and one NOT easy to find... sure there's clips on Soulclub.org - if not on here somewhere...

Cracking tune this one! I included this on our local Soul night free givaway CD.

Also, 'Give A Man A Break' was released on orange 'Up Look' re-issue a few years ago with Delegates Of Soul on the flip.

I too would love to know more about the Abbott label if anyone knows more. Was it some kind of budget label? I ask because the pressings and labels are almost uniformly shoddy on all the releases I've had or seen, and some like the Charles Mintz had been released on other labels in other locales. Also, are there any albums?

TIA for any information,

gareth.

2014 Ron Wilson - "Gotta give me lovin' babe/I won't do you wrong"

2023 Lamarr Thomas - "My soul woman/Leave me alone"

37006 Barbara & the Uniques - "Take me as I am/He's gone"

Flip to 37000 is "Only a fool"

Flip to 237 is "Everybody's got a story"

The label appears to be connected to Arden for which Barbara & the Uniques recorded a number of tracks.

Thanks for this!

I have amended the list above.

Here is what I've got as far a discography goes:

...

Any corrections/additions are most welcome.

I visually confirmed most data / cat #'s listed, except for 2018, 164 and 237 (which are most elusive). Technically, the heading should read "as far a discographies go" (plural). Between ABBOTT 2030 and ABBOTT 37000 is the boundary line between 2 different labels (on opposite coasts) formed 2 years apart:

1. From #2010 thru 2030, it's Abbott Records from New York City (distributed by Golden Records).
2. From #37000 on down, it's another Abbott Records of California (distributed by United Artists, named after founder Mike Abbott and launched in 1972

Charles Mintz - Since I found You (UP-LOOK) came out twice on the the Uplook Label, the scan below is the first harder to find issue with the record logo.

This copy is for sale if anybody's interested £60

i have got one on the original local uplook release.

the one on that reissue is a lot slower and not as good imo.

is it excatly the same track on the abbott and uplook?
