November 20, 200816 yr does anyone get the feeling boba's holding back, waiting to blast us with a list of like 319 labels?
November 20, 200816 yr HQ was in New York - but had a Chicago office that did all The Impressions stuff, Chalky. Should be on the list (IMO). Sean Does that make it a Chicago label though Sean just because it had an office there? I would guess all the other majors outside Chicago had an office there? I didn't include ABC as it's address is New York. Personally I'd sooner leave it out otherwise we could have all sorts in there, same with the Detroit listing, New York labels etc who went to Detroit to sign/record an artist there etc???? If the general consensus is include it I will of course Do the Impressions 45's say Chicago or New York on the label? Edited November 20, 200816 yr by chalky

Sorry mate, just that you asked if NY based ABC flew the Impressions into New York. They didn't. They recorded (as did the Marvelows) in Chicago for the Chicago arm of ABC / ABC-Paramount. I guess its based on the purpose of the exercise. If this is a list of original labels that Soul Music recorded in Chicago can be found on, then given the 30 odd, pre-Curtom, top drawer Chicago Soul 45's (and loads of LP's) they recorded for ABC Chicago then I'd have said include it. If, on the other hand, its a list of labels that recorded exclusively Chicago artists in Chicago, then leave it out! Typically the label would say neither Chicago or New York - just to confuse us!

Sean It's a list of Chicago labels Sean, regardless of where the artists came from. The only reason I queried ABC is it is for all intents and purposes a New York label, Head Office and registered address in New York, with as you rightly say an office/branch in Chicago. Probably has an office in other major cities too. Like I said I'll happily stick it in the list if thats the general consensus but I've still got my doubts as to whether or not it justifies an inclusion just because it used it's power to set up an office and take the cream of the crop from the city. Anyone else any thoughts/arguement for or against? Edited November 20, 200816 yr by chalky

November 22, 200816 yr Herb-Art La Cade (70's) La Salle - early 60's Davis (probably Gospel) Cash (70's)
November 22, 200816 yr Herb-Art La Cade (70's) La Salle - early 60's Davis (probably Gospel) Cash (70's) I've added them all Jaco except the possible Gospel one, sure someone will clarify if it needs including or not.
November 23, 200816 yr Anyone no for sure where Wideworld originates? Not sure, as it may not be the same one. There was a 'Wide World' record label in the late 60's based in Houston, Texas. Mainly Country and Western recordings though, I think.
November 23, 200816 yr The Sandra Stephens was on Ja-Wes. Currison - Sherrell Bros Brainstorm - Cicero Blake etc TMP-Ting - Syl Johnson Midas - Irene Scott Stage Production Recording - Leonard Adair Hope I'm correct with these!
