Not sure if it has been mentioned but there are some mis-pressed Benn-X 45s which credit both sides to the Inspirations.

Got the Kent CD out and the liner notes says the group is a West Philly group. Its members were Jack Mitchell, William Thomas, Calvin Ogletree, Gerald King and Issac Albright. They cut two tracks "I'm Cutting In and Treat Myself To A New Love. The notes do say the group who cut 45 for Wand and Jamie could possibly be the same group. The Companions, Larry Pinder, Ebert Holmes & Herman Johnson were the same group on General American.

The yellow issue was definitely 2002 Robb.

I'm not so sure these are even related? The group on Benn-X were said to be a studio band who cut one side. These are 10 years previous too. Think the comment on 45cat is simply an assumption purely because of the name.

1970s? It’s an early 2000 press.

I'm sure the Kent CD notes says they weren't an actual group but a studio group/musicians who simply laid down a cut? I'll dig the CD out tomorrow see what it says.

Dave Brown of Philly Archives was the one who released them, licensed directly from Frank Bendinelli.

There are two acetates, Butch and Tim Brown have them. Both different takes, the different takes are on each of the CD that Kent and Goldmine issues. Can't remember which take os on the Benn-X release. Its not the same group as far as I am aware, rather a studio band.

Quick plug for the last show of 2020 tomorrow night. Sound of Soul ™ - New Years Eve Special - 7pm till 9pm. We are very pleased to have Jordan Wilson sharing our last show of 2020, with regulars Gez Langley and myself. Then after the show you can tune into the Bury Virtual All-Nighter New Years Eve Special

As above originals have the ZTSC number stamped in the runout. The boot has a monarch delta number if memory serves

The El Corals release, pressed by Recordings Incorporated and someone said on 45cat that according to RI list it is a 1969 release/press, it also uses the patented image above.

It's been a good year for the specialist reissue labels be it new music or new old music. Kent are still setting the standards others follow. The revival of Hit & Run and Shotgun, along with One World Records are much welcomed releasing some superb sides. New labels such as witch's Soul Direction kicked off with promising releases selling out very quickly as did Colin Law and John Buckley's North Broad Street Records. Cannonball are still doing the business, Diggin' Deep go form strength to strength and Dave Welding's Soul Junction is still one of the leading lights with an excellent release coming up in early 2021 (you can hear it on my latest mix I put up yesterday). Super Disco Edits just brIlliant. Izipho Soul, have put out some outstanding modern and earlier soul music and Cordial also putting out some quality music. This is just a brief snap shot of the labels, there are many more doing great things for soul music. There is still some outstanding music being released, I don't by any means collect it all, not by a long shot, it takes a lot of keeping up with but there are several decent radio shows out there to help try and keep you up to date, two of the best for me are Mick O'Donnells Soul Discovery and Mark Merry's Soul Sermon. Roger Williams, Mark Randle and many others doing there best to keep us all informed as well. There is a stack of good music out there with much more to come in 2021.

https://lightintheattic.net/releases/7235-the-legendary-beyons The Legendary Beyon's, seems to have sold out most places, Glyn Thornhill did have copies?

full screen shot for you.... It looks like an entry for a patent though not necessarily the set up of the company? Page 877 https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Official_Gazette_of_the_United_States_Pa/JxXlo2QOkQoC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=thomas+earl+rouse+washington+dc&pg=PA877-IA101&printsec=frontcover

What is the entry for? It doesn't specify?

I think it's one of the batch of about 8 releases that came through Anglo American. I remember my mate have the remnants of them and I sorted them all into packs. If it is one of those the stickers were put on after if memory serves?

Contender for the second best CD... https://acerecords.co.uk/soul-voices-60s-big-ballads

Best Cd for me was Kent and Ady Croasdell's labour of love "Kenny Carter - Showdown" https://acerecords.co.uk/showdown-the-complete-1966-rca-recordings
