    I'm partial to Charles Brown "I Don't Know", also there are a carpload of Lightnin' Hopkins 45s which I can't not buy if you want to go down that route.

    dang, another one in my box I forgot about

    methinks a legit compilation is in order...has anyone ever raided the vaults? I could only imagine there is some great unissued stuff...

    I did a Jewel/Ronn/Paula tribute thread back in Dec. '07 (or so)...a lot of ground was covered there.

    everytime I turn around Im knocked out by a 45 on Jewel (the LA one, not the Ohio one) I am sure I am missing some good ones, list 'em...here are the ones I like a lot

    Peppermint Harris "wait until it happens to you"
    Frank frost "My Back Scratcher"
    Jimmie Preacher Ellie "gonna do it by myself"
    Billy Joe Young "The Push"
    Ted Taylor "close your eyes"
    George Wild Child Butler "Jelly Jam"
    Banny Price "You Love me Pretty Baby"
    Little Joe Blue "Standing On The Threshold"

    Buster Benton
    Toussaint McCall
    Bobby Patterson
    Violinaires
    Uniques
    African Music Machine

    Charly reissued the HELL out of this label back in the eighties.

    Fuel 2000 (owned by the same guy who owned Jewel) has been rereleasing the masters on CD lately.

    There was a Jewel Records box set put out by Capricorn in the nineties. Don't know if it's still in print.

    I should add that Jewel kept that stuff in print themselves for the longest time. I think they're inactive now (if not totally out of the business), but in the '80s I seem to remember that they were reissuing their stuff with frequency (although their releases weren't as classy as Charly's).

    yeah, they were reissuing 45s even on horrible flimsy colored vinyl all through the 80s, maybe early 90s too.

    i still kinda like the fact that this small family-owned label from the sixties stayed in business as long as it did

    up until CD's finally took over in 1990, it wasnt uncommon to see old-time labels like Jewel still holding on
