With that in mind, Bobby Rush was born Emmett Ellis Jr, the son of pastor Emmett Ellis Sr. Bobby Rush had nine siblings. One of them is called Larry James Ellis and he was apparently also in the music business. Info on the family here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/134804364/emmett-ellis He's commonly being referred to as "Larry Ellis" (see photo etc in linked article), but maybe, just MAYBE he released a 45 on the same label as his brother as "Jimmy Ellis". Pure speculation ofcourse on my part, but who knows?

The Ortofon 2M Red has got horrid inner groove distortion which makes it a particularly bad choice for 7" records. The 2M Blue is great though, and the 2M Bronze is spectacular. I haven't tried it myself yet, but have heard a lot of good stuff about the Nagaoka MP-110 from people that earlier used WhiteLabel and/or M44G. It's very close to the WhiteLabel in terms of output, recommended tracking weight, low record wear etc.

Is that really Johnny Copeland? Doesn't sound like his voice. Fantastic track regardless!

I missed that connection! The sound on that Puddin' Heads 45 is absolutely BRUTAL for being from 1964. Top notch teenbeat/garage!

I'm sorry, I have never heard it. Have you checked with Ady Croasdell? I think Ace/Kent have access to the Dore master tapes.
