Has anybody got a high quality rip of the Wreckin Crew tune "you dont care"? Has any of their stuff been reissued???
Thanks ya'll
I don't think their stuff has been reissued. However, I interviewed on of the members (Mike Avery), who was previously in the New Image on Cat. Reggie Lamb was also in the New Image.

Hi! - I wonder if someone could be kind enough to help me?
I'm a freelance writer, and I've done an article dealing with, amongst
other things, the records Ernie and Jean Terrell cut before Jean joined
The Supremes. That Fury single is a real mystery! - no-one seems to know
the catalogue number, or when it was released. There's a suggestion that
it may have been a promo item only, though one person has told me he's
sure the copy he had for years (and only recently sold!) was a regular
issue.
If anyone could shed some light, and give me any information (a scan of
the record would be fantastic!) it would be very much appreciated.
All good wishes,
Simon Euan-Smith
I don't have the Fury 45 (I have a calla 45 and argo 45), but I do have an early Jean Terrell photo and an Ernie Terrell and the Heavyweights photo. If Simon wants scans, he can contact me through this board or by emailing me at the address at the bottom of www.sittinginthepark.com. Jean went to Farragut high school on the west side of Chicago, which is the same school that the Mandells and Conquistadors went to. I've been told (but have not confirmed) that the Ter-rels on ABC are also from Farragut and are related to Ernie and Jean. Thanks.

what sort of sound is the george jay?early group or what? was he a producer or label owner? ezziethe george jay record is really good, I think he was white or hispanic, though, it's on the Texas Dynamic label (same as commands). It's a midtempo group record, maybe from like 1967. There are a bunch of other george jay + rocking ravens records but the other ones aren't really soul records, they have more a "teen" / doowop sound.

It says LuckEy Davis on the label...
Lotusland records had a small quantity of the orange label a while back, maybe they've got a spare somewhere. Turns up on ebay every now and then. The yellow one is harder to find, but same versions. Instrumental flip.
Amazing tune!
You might want to try Mike Vegh, who is on here, I think I've seen him sell it before.

Here's a link to my annual best-of radio show, there are some northern tracks at the beginning of the show, but it's mostly sweet soul:

Actually I was hoping that you would say that you knew George and that he was still alive! Thanks.

Hull was a legitimate label full stop - never, at any time during its lifetime was it a reissue label.
Several of the most famous doo-wop records of all time were first issued on either Hull or its sister label Mascot, including the Monotones' "Book Of Love", the Elegants' "Little Star", Shep and the Limelites' "Daddy's Home" and the Pastels' "Been So Long". It was founded and run, throughout its existence (1954-66) by Bea Kaslin. She sold it to Morris Levy of Roulette Records in 1967 and it has been the property of EMI since they acquired the Roulette group of owned labels (including Dynovoice, TK, Buttercup, End, Gone and many more) in 1988.
Contrary to what Chalky says above, Leo Price 's band was not the 'house band' for Hull. They did play on sessions other than Leo's own, including the Blonde Bomber's rockin' classic "Strollie Bun", but the label's musical director for most of its life was Teacho Wiltshire, who used the cream of New York's session musicians rather than just one band.
However, he was right in saying that Leo is Lloyd Price's brother. Although they're often mistakenly attributed to Lloyd, Leo also wrote several songs that Little Richard recorded including "Send Me Some Loving" and "Can't Believe You Wanna Leave"...
...here endeth the lesson
there are a couple good soul records on hull near the end of its run. The admirations on hull (not Chicag) has an awesome group soul side and an okay northern side. The simplicities on hull is a okay girl group record.

my friend played me an unissued Eddie Holland motown acetate he had the other day, it was awesome, better than any of the released stuff I've heard. I'm trying to remember the title now.

Cool Reissue! I've never talked to Jerline Shelton, but I've been told by people that knew her that their first recording was that Honey-Duo-Twins record on Yambo. I didn't notice a mention in your bio, just a note in case you didn't know it.

QUOTE(Mike B @ Apr 12 2007, 08:01 PM) link Nothing to do with the value but I think this was put out by the same guy who owned southern city records (paramount four / poodles ) I interviewed him around three years ago - he was really embarassed about the groups name lol. I must try and find his number and see whether he has any copies (being that its a modern tune I didn't ask him for a copy at the time
)

I think this was put out by George Redman, who was originally in Chicago and had the Moneytown / Blue Light labels. He then went to New Orleans and also had a Moneytown label there (I think a couple funk records by a group called ManFaith on the label). He also did this record, his name's all over it. Not associated with the DC moneytown. I don't think he's the southern city guy, unless you're referring to another name on the record. I heard that George had passed, although I'd love to hear otherwise.

Bobby's version is good but Mr Burns has the edge i think, also writting credits are Robert Newsome which is actually Bobby James one of the same which would suggest he recorded it first before Jimmy, i seem to remember he told me that when we met also neither Bobby or Jimmy had any knowledge of 'Brand New Faces' which is aweful anyway.
And yes Ted a rare record which this auction final price reflects incredible...wish i could have kept it, still got Jimmy's Erica though...lol
Regards - Mark Bicknell.
Is Bobby James' name really Bobby James? I heard it was Bobby Newsome (of the Vontastics) under another name. Can you confirm that it is a different person? Thanks a lot.
