It wasnt just an artist's one way trip to Memphis. Some of this stuff is very complex even within individual recordings. Willie Mitchell arranged, played and produced in Detroit itself on some releases. The Appreciations' Sport recordings were a complex mix of where the instrumentation was laid down, where the vocals were added and where final mixing occurred, with the processes involving North Carolina, Nashville, Memphis and Detroit depending on the track.

'Bee Gee Stans of Detroit' it says on the label - but isnt Bee Gee from Va? Think I read this somewhere / listed by Greg Haynes on his online resource. Anybody know anything about the origins of BG Stans or the label? Cheers and Merry Christmas folks, Mark.

All 3 grapevine LPs to shift: SOLD THANKS Cheers, Mark

George, well presented. A lot of lesser known South east beach / soul influenced garage sounds were done this way. Arthur Smith Studios and others did loads of 'custom' one offs for these artists, which explains fairly obscure 'releases' often in 500 lots max, given to the band to do with what they will, sometimes some to the band to give away - and occasionally a few to the local radio station. The Chashers "Without my girl" on Uncle was very likely one of these, recorded at Mark V studios. The cane on the label logo was apparently the lead singers stage cane (a la JB). No other 'releases' on the label. Another example is Novas Nine "Pain / Why listen" on Heritage, pre-ABC, this was an Arthur Smith custom job. See very few of these around.

Cheers Chalky, superquick as always and helps put him in context with an NC band he played with briefly a year later which I'm currently onto.

Scotty Todd - Cry with me baby / aint no big thing - Phillips Anybody got an exact release date on this, ideally to the month? Cheers Mark.

Almost a plug then thought better of myself Dave! Hence the self edit of my post! Truth is, it's a complex / vague story for each of their four recordings, indeed anything about the Appreciations, and I don't have the full story myself, but a fair bit more than was known previously (took best part of a year to get hold of one of the band members). Suffice to say their story involves NC, SC, Detroit, Nashville and the sax player? And may well not have been Mike Terry contrary to popular belief, including mine, but somebody else who will be surprise to some.......

This is a Detroit recording on a Charlotte NC label.

Dont know this bit Chalky. But didn't Pic and Bill record Gonna give it to you at Mark V studio in Greenville SC? Can't remember where I heard this rumour, was definately a 'Mark V production' but may have meant just the musicians rather than the studio (recorded in Texas?) etc. What year was this recorded?

Ian I have pmd you re Greg Haynes !
