Or split the Jades / Willie Wade / Nite Life related posts to another thread.

I think we can rule out that Willie Wade on NITE LIFE was a member of the New Orleans group that recorded on MODE. The Dept. Of Sanitation 45 on NITE LIFE is produced by "Wilder Brothers" so the Billboard article definitely refers to this NITE LIFE label. And another thing: both sides of the Willie Wade 45 on NITE LIFE is co-written by a "Warner Weidler" and guess what - George and Walter Wilder who started the NITE LIFE label according to the Billboard article has got a brother named Warner Wilder. It wouldn't surprise me if this actually is "Warner Weidler". It all adds up.

The NITE LIFE label was definitely from Los Angeles. Just found this in an issue of Billboard from 18 June 1966:

I can find no indications at all that NITE LIFE was a label from New Orleans or Louisiana. In fact, everything points to the label being from Los Angeles/California. NITE LIFE 70000 - California Dreamers - We Belong Together / One Night Stand NITE LIFE 70001 - Willie Wade - When Push Comes To Shove / Come Into My World NITE LIFE 70002 - The Jades - I'm Where It's At / Mother's Only Daughter NITE LIFE 70003 - The Night People - They Don't See You / The Shadow Is My Soul NITE LIFE 70004 - The Dept. Of Sanitation - Just A Good Show / Don't Ever Leave Me Night People were definitely from Los Angeles. California Dreamers were supposedly from California. And taking the YouTube comments on board from the daughter of the guitarist of The Jades... they were also from Wilmington in California. How Willie Wade fits into all of this I don't know. Does anyone have a scan of the 45 on MODE?

That's norwegian actually. The label on the swedish one, although extremely similar, states "Made in Sweden". Three different picture sleeves for Sweden, Denmark and Norway for "Reflections" as well. Yours should have this sleeve: Denmark: Sweden:

I've had loads of dutch 45s over the years with their centres intact. Most of them actually now when I think about it.

Don't know if this will clear things up or confuse things even more... but check out this YouTube page: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp1VUid5Ppc It is the flipside to The Jades "I'm Where It's At" called "Mother's Only Daughter". A user called "MrMrsSalBanuelos" has commented: "This song was made by my dad's band called the Jades. They were from Wilmington, CA. Robert Munoz is singing, my dad played guitar."

No, it has to have NCB on the label to be swedish, danish or norwegian. I think that it is from Holland. Check if it has got "670" machine stamped anywhere in the run-out groove, if it does it is definitely from Holland and distributed/manufactured by Polygram/Polydor.

I really like their version of "Together Till The End Of Time" as well.

Has anyone got any info about this 45? Spice Of Ice - Joy To The World / Does Anybody Know - KICKBACK It's from 1978, but that's pretty much all I know. I've been spinning it quite a bit as of late, but has it had any plays elsewhere? Actually, is it known at all? I've not seen any mention of it anywhere. Will be listing it on eBay soon, just wanted to find out some more info about it if possible.

My Obsession With The Preview Label - A Feast Of Teri's It all started back in 2011 I got a phone call from Nige Brown telling me he heard a sound bite on ebay of a record he thought had something special and he would like my opinion on it before he set his bid View full article

Haven't seen any mention of this on here, but it might be of interest to some of you. A documentary about Mel Cheren and West End Records called "The Godfather Of Disco" turned up on YouTube a couple of days ago. Well worth a look:

Anyone can print STEMRA, BIEM, SABAM or NCB on a label without clearing any rights. So that alone doesn't make a record legit.

Perhaps it's just my copy? Very low sound and lots of crackling. Might be from the end of the pressing run, but it is regardless pressed with very low volume.

Fantastic track! A real pity though that the sound quality on the Numero 45 is godawful. The CD sounds good though!
