As far as I am aware the early run of vocal group 45's were issued by Mike Rashio and most importantly Henry Mariano, these were the first 'good quality' repro 45's to be run in quantity. The Mariano issue's can be identified by the issue date in the run-off, Mariano recognised back then that these may at some time be passed off as originals so added the detail to avoid that possibility. Henry visited me in the 80's in London and stayed for a while, he was a nice guy and at one time a huge collector of group 45's and he had a real 'thing' for coloured vinyl originals. I also visited him and his brother Art in San Francisco in the late 80's and bought many original and repro 45's from him. One of the reasons the early repro's are such great quality in this genre is that as Robbk has already pointed out, many of these were pressed in the 60's and early 70's before computers had entered the equation as far as pressing and printing are concerned, that is to say they were still basically using exactly the same methods to press the records as the originals they were attempting to replicate. I remember Henry showing me the label paper he used that he had bought from an old pressing plant when it shut down, that's why his labels are so good. It's very difficult and expensive to get that same quality paper these days and to find modern day printers with the understanding and care to get the labels right. I bought many of these 45's as a kid, when I was 14 or 15 (late 70's) it was the only way I could by them as my saturday job wages were'nt that great and also to find an original copy of those 45's even in those days would have cost lots of $'s and those type of original 45's were just not for sale in this country at that time. Bootlegs? I love 'em, if it wasn't for those early issues this little kid would never have heard the Moonglows on Chance, Swallows on King the mighty 'Ladise' by the Packards and the original version of Stormy Weather by the Five Sharps on Jubilee ($20,000.00 for an original 78?) plus Tony and Jackie Lamie - You Wore Me To A Frazzle/ Sunset Blues (which blew my head off!) and Don Willis - Boppin' High Scholl Baby on Sattelite, oh those halcyon days!!. I have originals of many of the R'n'B 45's now and still collect avidly and it doesn't matter how many times people re-issue the records my original copies will always be originals so who cares. If you can afford to buy original 45's then that's great and lucky you, if you can't then the reproduction 45's are the next best thing, it's no big deal. If it wasn't for those early repro's I would never have had the access to those great sounds in those early days. Thanks Henry!
