A few random titles are missing, but there's enough so you can get the gist.
As Mister C noted, Minaret was indeed an SSS Int'l subsidiary, although I have the Fairlaines disc (white fratboy R&B) which was distributed by Starday (I think this is the first entry on the list). Speaking of white R&B, some of y'all may recognize "Silly Savage" by the Golden Toadstools, which was also a Minaret waxing.
Even though, from the looks of things, this label released all kinds of stuff, southern soul was really their meat. I have several Big John Hamilton singles (including his version of "Them Changes," a duet with Doris Allen) which are really good.
Do you have a link or personal knowledge of an SSS LP discog? I've compiled a good bit, but I'm missing some titles and have doubts as to whether some had an official release or not.
I'm afraid I don't - if there are any discographies I'd like to see covered, it would be that of SSS (and the various offshoot labels, except for Sun.

Supposedly Jamo Thomas has an album. I doubt that. Mickey Murray has an album called Shout Bamalama but I don???t know the number. There???s also a comp called New York Rock n Roll Vol 1 with groups like the Shangri-Las on it.
Can anybody help out?
Murray LP is SSS 102 - a great album, although I was surprised to
see it has been reissued, since I got my OG for under $10 on eBay
less than 2 years ago...
On a somewhat related note, has anyone heard/do they have this
Mickey Murray LP on Federal from 1970?? Never heard of it until today:
It looks downright
What's the date on the Mickey Murray? Either I'm missing 70+ albums from the discog or they started compiling singles in the late 70s (?) and started in the 100s. I seem to remember seeing another album in the 100s
That Mickey Murray does look cool.
Original New York Rock & Roll (SSS 6) is a compilation of sides from the Red Bird label (and not all of it is NY, either - the Dixie Cups and Alvin Robinson were licensed straight from New Orleans). There is no Vol. 2, from what I've seen.
SSS 25 is Jewels, Vol. 2 (a random oldies compilation).
Which is well worth grabbing - it has that awesome version of "Them Changes"
mentioned earlier - a few stores around here have ss stock of it for $5.
