Goddam! Forgot Zal Yanovsky, Captain Beefheart, the Five Stairsteps, and "Stanky (Get Funky)" by Billy Davis on Cobblestone!!
I got the first Buddah single ever (not counting earlier Kama Sutra releases): "Yes, We Have No Bananas" by the Mulberry Fruit Band...that and $2 will get me a ride on the CTA bus, but thought you'd like to know.

yeah thanks, i was actually thinking more along the lines of straight red labeled buddah releases, not stuff like karma sutra hot wax sussex ect... you know just to boil it down a little bit!!
Great album

Man the list goes on forever.
I doubt if several years of digging is enough to unearth them all. I would have listed only the ones you have not unearthed, but I don't which those are.
That LP is
i've owned it for some time now.
The label has a ton of good titles.
i figured thats where you were going. this IS Soul Strut, and the Love From The Sun reference shoulda been a dead giveaway!!! i surmised it'd be more about michael henderson than the brooklyn bridge...
but im such a Buddahphile, i figured their "straight red label" records are only tellin' half the story - let's see some love for them older psychedelic-labeled Buddahs as well (you know Buddah had OTHER designs before then, right?)!! not to mention the subsidiaries...
BUT!! i wouldnt derail another person's thread (although i didnt derail so much as reroute), so i got some red-labels for ya:
- "Two Weeks Notice," Five Stairsteps (I think they were going out just as the reddish/brownish label was coming in...one of their last, from '72)
- Cross Roads (LP), Jae Mason (kinda
- "Lonely Town, Lonely Street," Denny Greene
- "From His Woman To You," Barbara Mason (answer to Shirley Brown's "Woman To Woman")
- 100% Cotton (LP), James Cotton (straight Chicago blues)
- "Midnight Train To Georgia," Gladys Knight & the Pips (common as dirt, I know)
- "Wham Bam," Ohio Ltd. (don't know if this is your thing, but HAD to mention it here, this 1974 reddish- label single is that good...not funky or anything, just badass power-chord rock & roll)
seen this more than a few times in the finds threads, looks cool, never heard it... psych?
with the older buddah label or??
Right, its' psych.
Older multicolored Buddah label - its' from 1969. (I think Buddah only used the reddish label you speak of from '72-'77.)
And who has a copy of Warlock on Music Machine for yr boy?
Music Merchant? I believe that was a third label that Holland-Dozier-Holland had, in addition to Hot Wax and Invictus. Really good early Jones Girls single on that imprint.
Ooops, it??s on Kama Sutra
How about Sound Experience - Boogie Woogie?
The drummer dyed his afro white for the photo on the back.
- J
no you were right the first time, they were on buddah
I know of a Music Merchant[/b] that was a Buddah sub...H-D-H owned, but Buddah distributed (just like with Hot Wax)
What label is Paul Parrish "FOrest of My Mind" on?
Music Factory (an MGM label).
I just checked the record and it says Kama Sutra on the cover, but Buddah on the labels. What??s the deal here?
Oh, and I love the record by the way. Anyone else? Toussaint-produced and stuff.
- J
isis..yeah oops thats one of those red labeled buddah lps that i havent gripped for $0.5 yet
as i recall their first are the better one, girl band playing funky rock, silver bodypainted on the cover.. sorta thing you remember, looks cool!!
still looking for that one actually...
Besides some of the stuff already mentioned:
V/A - Live At Newport (nice Ray Charles track and Valdez version by D.Hathaway)
Gladys Knight & The Pips - Claudine OST
New Birth - Blind Baby
Cheap and good.
Couldn't get into that Walter Heath. Schnoozy.
How bad you want it?
Co-sine. Couple okay cuts but not really worth owning IMO.
