Have a patch from the Whitchurch anniversary, not the best embroidery 🤣

I did think its origins lay nearer to home.

My question still remains though, would RCA have used Monarch considering their mastering and production facilities?

If it was a test press that would indicate a monarch west coast press which is a puzzle when RCA had a massive plant in Hollywood. As you also suggest the lack of any RCA details on the label is also unusual.

discogs has it down as Raymond Washington if you follow the links

Would RCA use Monarch? After all they were one of the biggest mastering and manufacturing companies around.

Well Taffy had 7 or 800 a few years ago at about £8 a piece. £20 is all it should be.

Discogs goes up to 23 in design we are talking about, its missing 17 which is above and 21. There are many more differing catalogue number system

I doubt Joey would go to the expense of promos or two different labels for any particular release. Probably a case of getting records in the stores as and when the group were getting some action. One release failed, the next hit so got the previous one out there again etc. Just speculation mind but it was about making money at every and any opportunity. The discs were done at Alco btw

I can’t remember but will dig them out at weekend. List all with the added info we have.

So Mutt-Jeff 18 (orange with horizontal bars) and Mutt & Jeff 18 (Yellow) have the same delta numbers. 60731 & 60731 x

Think there is more titles in R&B indies and on discogs than above

Is that 67031?

can anyone else contribute scans and or matrix run out details?

You sure? It's on discogs at just over 20 quid. If its valuable one on my shelf 😉

There is a release, Mutt & Jeff 17 listed in R&B Indies which isn't in the pictures. Sunlovers - My Poor Heart MJ-106 I'll Tell The World This might explain why a recording with an earlier delta appears on the later release?

As far as I am aware and according to data elsewhere Charles Perry on Mutt-Jeff is 1965, MGM 1966. The inspirations was cut in 1966. The Sunlovers "My Poor Heart" has a delta number dating it mid 1966. The flip "This Love Of Ours" has a delta number dating it mid 1967.

This week on The Sound Of Soul ™ Dean Anderson is joined by two of Scotland's finest, Colin Law and John Buckley. Two hours of great soul music and chat.

Hope you are well Sammy, long time no see.

two cracking releases at a great price too, what's not to like.

Its a keeper for those who have it that's why it is rarely for sale. There are copies out there though.

This is what I put together with Sidney at the time Shee Records 563 E. Tremont Avenue, Bronx, New York, Founded by Larry Roberts with some other partners. Sidney Barnes was asked to help set up the label, coming up with the name and the logo. Sid was a Motown Staff writer at the time and Lucille White took a song to Motown with the hope of getting it recorded, it was rejected. However Sid liked the song and thought it would be ideal for Little Nicky Soul at the newly created Shee records. Little Nicky, real name Nichalous Faircorth was from Newark, New Jersey and was a very good friend of Sidney Barnes. Sidney collaborated with Lucille, helping rewrite the lyricsand produced the recording of the song for Little Nicky. He is credited on the label as M. Alexander as he couldn’t use his real name because he was solely contracted to Motown. Richard Tee, the arranger and conductor was a piano player at Jobete, he later went on to work as musical arranger for Paul Simon and Aretha Franklin. Despite rumours Little Nicky didn’t record any other tracks with Shee according to Sidney. One other release on the label was by the Four Arts. The group was Lee Gilliard, Cleve Gilliard, Dave Richards and Ike Richards. Sidney doesn’t remember anything about them. The 45 was written and produced by Larry Roberts. SR-100 Four Arts Just One Night (ZTSP 94861) Who Do You Think You Are (ZTSP 94862) SR-101 Little Nicky Soul I Wanted To Tell You (ZTSP 94863) You Said (ZTSP 94864)

Great to hear from you and so glad you could find this information about your step dad. His 45 is worth quite a lot of money these days, both 45s on the label are very in demand. If you have anything else you can add it would be great to see.

Its the same trailer in the topic posted a month ago isn’t it?
