my favorite is garland green "don't think I'm a violent guy", the monologue part where he's like "I hit you so light, it wouldn't even make a baby cry!" and that's not even the only song on the album about beating up people.

you have good taste. the other sweet and innocent 45 is better though if you don't know it.

plus if he didn't sing lead on that song, maybe the lead singer or other members are still around

seems unlikely given his success with his much bigger group. sort of like asking frankie beverly to do because of my heart. it would be expensive at least.

or you could try: https://www.cuba-gooding.com/contactus.htm

maybe, I would definitely get in contact with Cuba Gooding or some of the pre-Cuba main ingredient members, I think they hold the key. Tony Rounce posted the tracklist of some Main Ingredient reissue here once and it included some versions of Charades songs. Also, if you listen to "Never set me free" on MGM (my favorite Charades song) it sounds exactly like Cuba Gooding.

that is a totally different charades group, I actually have talked to a member of that group, they have an ok funk record called "corruption". No connection to the MGM group.

aren't the charades on MGM, Okeh, Mercury, and Harlem Hitparade all the same new york-area group? and don't they have some sort of main ingredient connection? There is some webpage with Dave Moore saying he was talking to someone getting info about it, maybe he can give more info? Also, I swear on a couple of their tracks it sounds exactly like Donald McPherson singing lead but it could just be coincidence. But I think the main ingredient did cover at least one of their tracks unreleased.

probably another boot also. this is a record that was 'discovered' by different us collectors markets after the time of release and "reproed" on different local labels. for example, it's a steppers cut in chicago.

oh wait, i see he goes into other stuff in the bit, sorry

more specifically, this is a parody of shirley brown 'woman to woman'

I think the ronnie and the parleys version is earlier, there are 3 ronnie and the crayons 45s, one on domain and two on coun-sel, all are by the same LA group. I'm assuming it's the same Ronnie as in Ronnie and the Parleys but I'm not sure. I always meant to sign up on spectropop and ask there about this because they would have more info there, but I never got a chance to.

brad hales was one of the people that sold the pat lewis on ebay

it definitely was on recently, I think butch won a trashed copy recently, it went cheap and wouldn't be in popsike. I think it was a couple of months ago. It was a jamaican seller from florida. I'm sure I've seen it before too.

that's a 78

Hi Ian. I have a question for you. I know almost nothing about your productions so excuse my ignorance. If I google, it says you worked with Herb Rooney of the exciters. I have a record by Black Stash on US Contempo that I think is also Herb Rooney related. Did you have anything to do with that record? Do you know anything about the group -- were they exciters-related? Thanks.

they had the same manager as the Vels, which is why they were on the same label pre-mala

it's cole and the grandures, , u-r-e-s it's an early soul / doowop transitional thing, one side is more doowop and the other is northern-ish, always much better known to doowop collectors. it's not r&b-ish at all if that's what you were trying to find. it's a chicago record.

cole and the grandures was on ebay at least twice. a new york sell-for-you-on-ebay place had it mint and it went for $750. Kevin Cox had a beat up copy recently, I was the high bidder for pretty low but didn't meet the reserve.

crash is a bootleg for the jamaican market. the group was originally called the joy-tones, they were from new york and had doowop records on rama, so the joytones press is definitely before the love potion presses.

the quantrells were from stateway gardens, projects at 35th and state that the lost generation and a ton of other group came from.

i have a beat double of the three jades if you or anyone else here wants to trade

both are real, I think the first is rarer and might be the true first press but both are from the early 60s
