    Anyone? Please?

  • great work that discography - sorry can't help with any missing numbers, but I have some infos about a special J.P. Robinson title.

    I have the following alston 45 of J.P.

    A-4590 Keep on holding on/Hot love (green label)

    How does this label number fit in your discography?
    and some info on an other pressing of his can be found here
    http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4719382262
    and
    http://www.melingo.com/thesoulnet/jprobinson.htm



  • Those missing numbers are all local (non-national) releases.
    I am in Columbus, when I get back to Chicago I can plug all of these holes.
    Many times there are two different releases with the same catalog number.

    Thanks, Dante and G70s. I figured as much with the Diamonettes/your JP Robinson, and I know for a fact that at least the vast majority of the Beginning of the End / Munnings boys 45s (at least the ones I have) had the local and sometimes national numberings.



    I'm in beautiful but rainy Portland, Oregon right now, D, so I'm away from my discographies, too.



    The thing is - Alston gets passed up sometimes because it's not as rare as most snooty collectors like. But just try amassing only the Green/Red pre-74 stuff, and you'll see how goddamned hard it is. I know that I worked for what little I have.

  • wish i could help, but dont know this scene...tho i see dante got your back...

  • luckluck 4,077 Posts
    ...tho i see dante got your back...

    Yeah, but it's a deal with the Devil. You wouldn't believe the numbers of Jefferson Airplane and Spectrum Productions bootlegs I've promised him.

    Please to tell, which Alston singles have breakbaet, raer and good?



    Seriously though, I'd be curious to know which of these you think are truly great songs, whether soul, funk, whatever.


    ...please.

    Seriously though, I'd be curious to know which of these you think are truly great songs, whether soul, funk, whatever.

    That's an odd tack to take.

    Honestly, I appreciate most Alston As and Bs (as I appreciate the Miami sound in general). If I had to deliniate, I like the earlier - the 69-73 stuff - the best. I'm not holding out for "truly great" in any sense, other then most of these make my feet move and put a smile on my face. That's great enough for me. This is probably one of the most accessable soul/funk labels ever, IMO.

    Dante: thanks once again. I have money on your book - whenever it comes out - and a gold fucking Sharpie for you to Hancock it with.

    Boo-yah.
