label has artists from the Bay Area and NY... label also had offices in both places... tint of darkness was from here in the Bay. larry coney lives in the east bay, is very poor, and was the lead singer for the Relatives on Archway. other members included from groups the Mighty Passions and musicians that backed Harvey Scales. they recorded on a couple different labels here in the bay.
some brooklyn-label 45 heat off the top of my head:
jimmy jones, "say amen brother" (jody) big al & the star treks, "funky funk" (double m) lyn taitt, "steppin' up" (randy's) jablonski, "soul makossa" (randy's) uh...louie prima, "brooklyn boogie" (dot)
i recently made a mix of all brooklyn artists...it's mostly disco and some electro/boogie/house...maybe a couple of funk things. i can get you a copy if you want to check it out. lots of dope shit has come out of brooklyn!
the bb and q band are an italo group produced by Jacques fred petrus and jacques morali...not a brooklyn group.
this thread makes me laugh because i went through all of this while working on my mix...if the area code is 718 is it brooklyn or queens? if the track is about brooklyn but it has a 212 area code do i include it? etc.
didn't realize rota was a brooklyn label...although it looks like from those scans that sometimes it's a 212 and sometimes brooklyn.
anything on jus born is brooklyn as is the reelin' and rockin' label.
Dr. York is brooklyn also...he did some early things before the mid-80s joints you always see that are quite good...this one roller-skating jam called "rollarock".

Don't know about the labels you're referring to but Dr. York was based in Harlem, pretty sure.

I don't know about any of Dr. York's releases being "quite good" musically; they are all, of course, "quite good" in the sense that they are works of divine truth.
