I am new to this site and wanted to ask if anyone knows much about Eldridge (I do apologise if I missed any threads) The info I have is that he is/was from Gary, Indiana and also recorded with The Passions (El Anthony, Roosevelt Christmas, Doyle Cole, John Coleman)

I thought with all the serious stuff going in in the world, that we might have a little fun Can you name this face from Chicago, who only released (to my knowledge) 2 singles ?

Do we know who J.B. Troy was ? only 2 records on Musicor (1966) and J.R. Bailey and Johnny Northern writing and producing Les McCutcheon managed to re-issue "Live-On", but I missed the blurb on it and "Gusto Records Inc" was "King Records" in 1966 and Publisher was "Catalogue Music"

Although Syng recorded this after being released he was sadly soon incarcerated again and that ended his career He was lead on this with long term prisoners

You will never know IMHO and I guess a number of factors. age, experience, where was it sourced from in the first place etc will solve it After all Simon Soussan arrived in the UK with boxes of bootlegs and sold them to young lads (like me) who had no idea whatsoever what they were buying. (I am older and a bit wiser now) Record shops in Manchester and Nottingham (other cities as well) bootlegged records and sold them in their racks for fun. Only getting original Matrix details and asking the "right questions" before purchasing records are going to help and of course buying from a reputable dealer will plays be an advantage (but even they have been caught out in the past) In the world there are those "always" trying to get away with making a quick "buck" and sometimes"desperate people do desperate things" This is why this site, if used correctly is so useful and should champion spotting bootlegs and identifying originals so that the next generation, never mind this one won't get duped

Chris I hope you returned it tracked and signed for 😀

I have found a great thread here from some time ago

Yes, I do find that as usual everything either gets made up or lost in translation, what he meant was "carver" referred to by him as a "lathe cut"

I would absolutely love to know who did this ?

I am new to this site and was always fascinated with this/these records by Mixed Emotions Last FM have an interesting write up, which I would love to here comments on please and it may or may not help explain a little https://www.last.fm/music/Mixed+Emotions/+wiki I believe this is the label discussed https://www.discogs.com/label/18084-Soul-Patrol-Records

RIP John, a creator of history on the "Scene", a sad sad day, today Fantastic articles here about Soul Bowl and Grapevine

I sold my copy years ago, does anyone have images of the stampers please (as far as I am aware the same stampers were used as per the plain pink copy)

Don't shoot the messenger, I thought the comment was probs wrong Tim😀 https://www.discogs.com/Sy-Hightower-Wild-Love-I-Know-Youre-Leaving-Me/release/4370524

I am confused with this one as well, some sources claim it was promo only (legit) and Boot (issue), but there are enough experts here that I am sure will help

Maybe..... Chalky I got the info from Parkers in Ohio ages ago (and then forgot until more remembering) and had no reason to doubt there info, which is why I asked for more clarification https://www.facebook.com/parkersrc/ Annoyingly there web page seems to have gone down (server)

Not Magnum Robb (he co-wrote on Ollie Jackson) I found out and mentioned above in the thread Roger Davenport & Hunter Hancock, Los Angeles, CA (1964-1968) owned Magnum

Perfect info I did wonder if some sources had it wrong

I wonder if it was more likely to be Sam who wrote (Suddenly) with/for Brenda Holloway (1964), which was produced by Hal Davis

I have noticed the spelling of Jobette (maybe a printing error ?) and the B side writers ?
