Just bought a copy of a record by a group called the ' Supremes' on the Grog label entitled ' you and me'.

I'm trying to find some infomation on the group as they are obviously a different group to the famed motown supremes. I had a look on Manships but couldn't get a date or location in America where the record was cut. Can anyone tell me anything about this group?

Just seemed strange to me that they what sounds like an all male group would call themselves the supremes...

Also can anyone tell me anything about the GROG label.....i have never heard of it before.

cheers , Daniel.

it is an ohio record accordings to www.ohiosoulrecordings.com. I'm not sure about that though. the motown supremes were not the first supremes either, there was at least one male doowop group with that name.

I always thought this was a Carolina's beach record. I first heard/saw it at a US record fair around 15 years ago (possibly a little longer), where a well known dealer (from that area too), had about 500 of them. All brand new, mint and looking a little 'too new' if you know what I mean.

the ohio page might be wrong. another thing is that "clifton" on the label, don't know if it's related but there was that clifton doowop revival label.

That'll be the Supremes on Ace.

The group that recorded on Grog IS the same group that recorded on Ace, although I don't recall if they are 100% same personnel. They were a vocal group from Columbus. The Grog record was recorded and released about 1977.

Here's a Supremes story, although this was done BEFORE the 45, as you see from the addition at the bottom. I presume John Clifton was the same guy that did other doowop 'projects' in the 1970s. Bob Hughes is a Columbus musician and historian/collector that played in several different bands and recordings in the 1960s and 70s. The record was recorded and pressed at Musicol in Columbus.
