Count The Days
I don't think there is any connection but, if you want to dig deeper, you can type in Bob Abrahamian or Sitting In The Park on Soul Sources Search. This should bring up his radio shows. I know he did an interview with Lee McKinney of the Magnetics- Lee might have given some info on the label.

Wanda Young Rogers R.I.P.
I saw a post on facebook that Wanda passed away on December 16th of this year. It was also posted on discogs. Thank you for so many great 45's !!

I've only seen the yellow/green swirl label that looks like Capitol for the issues. Does the 7th Avenue Aviators exist on a red Congress issue?

In Bob Pruter's book "Chicago Soul", he calls Avin "a local label". So- I would go with Chicago. And, there could be a connection with Avin and the Celtex label as both use Celtex Music for their releases. If that is true, Billy Lasley would be behind those labels and O-Pex and Expo.

You are indeed correct- didn't notice it wasn't on Moira !!

Not sure how rare the Belita Woods is- the 45 went to #4 on this survey- I'm sure it sold well locally .

Is the Porgy Williams shown above a later issue of this Porgy 45 (which has the same release # as the Porgy and the Monarchs "That's My Girl" ?

Curtom Mystery Group ??
I think that is an interesting theory but I don't know why a group would name itself after an event that occurred five + years in the future. The clothing is definitely early 70's and the autographed photo is dated " '73" so I'm not sure how that would work. But, thanks for your interest in the topic. I checked 2 of Curtis's live albums from that era ("Curtis Live" and "Curtis In Chicago- Recorded Live") and the band doesn't appear to be the same one. Thanks Chalky - much appreciated !!

Curtom Mystery Group ??
I doubt if it 2004 since that is "Three The Hard Way" by Travelin Soul. But , I believe Curtom 1977 is missing - maybe that is the Demolition 45 ?

Curtom Mystery Group ??
I would almost swear the pictures were from the early 70's just going by the clothing of the band members. There wasn't much black participation in Steve Dahl's Disco demolition so I doubt if there is any connection between the group and the event. But... I do appreciate all the research you did - THANKS ! ! Update- As I was handing back the pics to my friend, he said "I never noticed this- this picture is autographed" At the bottom right of the picture of the guitarist, it reads "Stephen Stone '73".

I tried discogs, Billboard, Cashbox and Record World and couldn't find anything on the group. Thanks for doing the research !

Joe Simon R.I.P.
Sad to hear this- Joe had many quality releases in the 60's and 70"s. R,I.P. Joe !

Curtom Mystery Group ??
A friend of mine recently found these pics- He said he couldn't find anything on the group, I drew a complete blank . Does anyone know anything about them?

The stoppers come back baby
That makes complete sense since Herb was known as the DJ Bert Bell "The Ding Dong Daddy of Soul" on KSOL. Here's one of their surveys with Kim at # 30 -

Ozz and the Spurlings were Ruby Jones, Irene Robertson and Jess "Ozz" Osborne and were not part of the Frank Jones Sextet. The Magicians were a regular vocal group - members were Toussaint Street, Neil Stallings, Larry Holmes and Clement Briellard.

At some point,(and I don't know exactly when) Cameo/ Parkway started distributing the Villa label' The article appeared in the Oct. 22, 1966 issue of Billboard. If you look at the label of the 45, you can tell C/P was involved -

I'll be honest with you- I "found" those scans on discogs. Maybe Santa will bring me those for X- Mas !

Thanks for posting !- The stoppers come back baby
Jubilee promoted the record taking out ads in all three trades (Billboard, Cashbox and Record World) but I can't find any evidence of "Come Back Baby" really taking off anywhere. This ad is from the March 12, 1966 issue of Record World.- The stoppers come back baby
The Checkerboard Squares were based in San Francisco. The group was made up of Billy and Bernie Rivera, Billy Schwartz, George Whitsell and of course Frank Jones. Various horn players like Jerry Martini and Jerry Gilmore were also used. The Squares on "Double Cookin' " were basically the Frank Jones Sextet with some assistance from moonlighting players from the San Francisco Symphony.- The Turks
No but, if you go by Discogs, the Turks are the same group as the Dontells. Group members were Nate Pendleton, Leroy Dandridge, Larry Nestor and Willie Weems. - Pookie Hudson - Jamie
