    Two words:

    Restricted Playlists

    By 1968 Stone was issuing over 10 records month. He knew that DJs weren't going to spin ten records on one label, so they broke it up over Marlin, Dade, Cat, Glades, Alston, TK, Dash, Drive, etc.

    Willie Clarke did most of the label designs on the early records (Alston, Glades, Cat, Dash), before becoming a full time producer.

    Stony Island Band 45 on Glades is my choice.

    I'll throw a scan up when I get home....maybe. I did just receive the Funky Lexicon and so may take a night off from the internet tonight......

    Little dude question, but how does Saadia fit into all this? Was that label part of the Henry Stone empire or totally independent?

    Is this the Ronnie Keaton "Going Down for the last time" 45?
    If so, great tune.

    Looks like King SPorty to me...don't know if TK handled distribution of all their 45's - just a couple. Of course, the several saw primary JA releases which were all distributed ( i assume, they all have his matrices) by Coxsone Dodd such as the slice below:







    Sporty is as old as they come as a Studio 1 alumni (along with Mittoo, Hibbert, Alphonso, etc) and also wrote for Marley and the Wailers. His version of "Belly Full" slaughters Bob's IMO.

    I know that includes several labels (Chimmeyville, Dash, Cat, Marlin, Good Sounds, etc).



    Really feelin' this Osiris LP right now:

    If we're flossing 45's too, gotta throw in a plug for "Santa Claus Is A Black Man" by Akim on Simtone.

    Saadia was Frank Williams label. No real TK connection per se, but the Rocketeers played on tons of south Florida records. One of the earliest Frank Williams records was on Lloyd, Willie Clarke's second label. Clarke took Betty Wright over to TK when Deep City dissolved, so there is a certain amount of lineage.

    Check out Jeff Lemlich's site for tons of Florida funk and soul information, or buy his book:

    As for Chimneyville being part of of TK, I don't think that's correct. Chimneyville was more closely associated with Malaco, who was distributed by TK, but retained all of their masters.

    You could probably say the same for Stone Dogg (which I mentioned a few posts back), but since all three of them were all technically Distributed By TK, I'd think these labels fit.

    It should also be mentioned that Little Beaver was a member of the Rocketeers, another connection to TK.

    If we're going with distributed labels, I can't ignore the Groove Merchant catalog. Junior Parker's "Love Aint' Nothin' But A Business Goin' On" is fantastic. His version of "Tomorrow Never Knows" is out of hand good.
