Hello, first post here and need some other ears on this issue. I have a mystery LP that features a female Soul-Jazz singer that I am trying to identify. (Link to some clips are provided top of page.) Of all things, the record is jacketed and labeled as Artie Kaplan's "Down By The Old Stream"....lol!
Label is Paramount Records.
It has a boldly etched matrix # (which is lightly scratched out) of PAS-6082-A / PAS-6082-B.
My internet research on Paramount Records turns up no releases bearing this #.
It also has the Artie Kaplan catalog/matrix # of PAS-1019-A1/PAS-1019-B1 faintly etched.
Best I can make out on Side 1:
Track 1 is probably titled "Burn All The Bridges" or maybe "Burning Bridges"????
Track 2 is definitely "Evil Gal Blues" (Pretty good job, but it's just not Aretha...lol)
Track 3 is probably "Don't Let Me Fall In Love With You"????
Track 4 is definitely Bread's "Make It With You" (Nice cover of this classic.)
Sure appreciate any help or even just some good guesses on this.
If you'd like clips of Side 2 also or even the whole album for that matter feel free to ask.
Thanks. -Brian

It's obviously a pressing mistake.
Doesn't appear to be another label underneath. Yes, obviously a pressing error. Just curious if it was something slated to be released under that scratched out matrix # and then later scrapped?
Maybe a silly question, but can a record be pressed and then later recycled and pressed into a different record as if it were a blank?
If so, perhaps this was the intention but it just didn't get done before being labeled and sleeved as Artie Kaplan?
I think so too. Paramount had a few one-off non-soundtrack LPs in the early 70s; some better (Lyn Christopher, Wilbur Bascomb) than others (Kyle). This was issued between the time of the Ivory Joe Hunter country album and the Joel Kaye one, it seems. By the way, welcome, Brian. Tell us a little about yourself sometime.
Probably they were going to use the blank lacquer to make an Artie Kaplan stamper and at the last minute used it for the record you have instead, which seems to be unreleased. Not sure how it would end up with the AK label, maybe person at the plant pulled the wrong stamper and didn't notice the other matrix #. You can't 'repress' a record in the way you describe.
This could be a pretty unique item. There is nothing about it on the internet and there almost certainly would be if it had come out.
Gospel singer was talked into making a secular lp then decided she didn't want it released.
Very much in the style of lps that Marion Williams and Clara Ward released around the same time.
Thank you for the kind welcome. Me...just a 36 year old record hound in Louisville KY.
Anymore info than that would get you yawning...believe me..lol
@Haze25 Ahh..so there's at least 2 out there.
I'm gonna post some clips from Side 2 also pretty soon if anybody is interested. Maybe it will help out somehow.
Which of the other two besides "Evil Gal Blues"?
At the end of your clip she is singing What A Difference A Day Makes. DW's biggest hit.
Thanks for pointing that out....I didn't even notice that. No break between those last two tracks....(guess I wasn't paying very good attention while sampling/recording ...lol)
Heading out of town for a few days, so went ahead and got the Side 2 clips put together. (linked above)
Will check back when I get home to see if it helped out any.
Take care folks.
Second-mystery lounge bimbo type song
Third-cover of Solomon Burke's-Love thy neighbor?
Fourth-movie soundtrack type song
Fifth-unknown
One name popped into my head because she sang on strks and theatrical type stuff, plus she had a jazz/soul background
Leslie Uggams? Could just be a soundtrack.
