Stax Light Blue Label / Grey Label
I've heard the grey Stax labels were pressed locally in the South. They seem to have been used more often on the earlier Stax releases.

Prince George - Wrong Crowd
Not trying to hijack the thread but... does anyone know anything about the artist (real name), when the record was released or where the label was based? I've never had any luck with info on this one.

Fidels On Ebay - How Much
I've had this on a demo before and the styrene used was terrible- looked minty and sounded good + . The vinyl issue sounds much better.

What's The Story? (The Duck)
Jackie Lee made "The Duck", the Willie Hutch "The Duck" is a completely different song. The flip side is "When Love Runs Out" . Richard Temple did make "That Beatin' Rhythm" which was a vocal to "Cigarette Ashes" by Jimmy Conwell.

Blue Sleeve?
I live in the U.S. and I have only seen that sleeve once. I don't know if it was only made in certain parts of the States. The red sleeve is far more common. But... they did put it on the front cover of "Complete Motown Singles- 1965" from Hip-O so it was used at some point.

Frankie Valli - The Night
The only U.S. release was on the "Chameleon" album on Mowest.

Velvelettes
"These Things ..." never came out on V.I.P. . I believe you're thinking about "A Bird In the Hand..." which originally was on V.I.P. #25021 and was probably withdrawn and re-released as V.I.P. #25030.

Hi again Lorraine, I've got another question for you. In the book "Groovesville U.S.A.", it says you got started doing backing vocals on records at Motown and for Ollie McLaughlin. Do you remember any of those sessions? Sorry to be such a pest .

Fair enough- I was only a little, little boy at the time the record came out.

Hi again Lorraine! Just a quick question for you- I know "What Can I Do" was first released on Giant. How did RCA get involved and end up signing you to the label ?

New Member - Lorraine Chandler
Hi Lorraine, I was trying to point out that Deniece Williams' real name is Deniece Chandler. I think someone thought she might have been you because of the same last name.
