133-2550 - Mode 501 - Ronnie Taplet - Somebody Out There (Love Me)

Added to 45cat, I don't know the titel/code of the other side:
http://www.45cat.com/record/nc138668us

Someone else's scan of the A.

...and I've got the B-side scan coming to me tomorrow.

OK -

Now up on 1968, linked to 45cat, 2550 removed from among The Missing...

A couple of interesting things about the label:

First off, notice that the producer is listed as Ulis Gaines, who was co-owner of both NOLA and Hotline with Wardell Quezergue...

Secondly, the publishing company is listed as Col-Soul, which was owned by Larry McKinley...

Thirdly, the songwriter is listed as Allen Orange, who had set off to Nashville to work with John R at Soundstage 7 shortly after his Minit 45s circa 1961-64 (see http://souldetective.blogspot.com/2007/07/case-five-allen-orange.html)... had he returned to New Orleans by then on his way to Shreveport and his work with Geater Davis?

MODE was reportedly one of Senator Jones' many labels, and this looks like its inaugural release. was the good Senator just trying to spread the wealth??

In any event, we're still looking for a scan/confirmation of the Code # on the flip.

Thanks, guys!

- also, spotted on the label by John Broven, is the fact that the arranger was none other than double bass player and New Orleans legend Walter Payton:

Incredible!

My source totally flaked on the information on this flip. Sorry about getting anyone's hopes up.

Ok guys, thanks to Mark Albones at Media hut, we now have a scan of the flip of MODE 501:



...which confirms a code number of 133-2551. Very cool that it's a song written by Jackie Avery, another New Orleans songwriting legend.

SO - now added to 1968, linked to 45cat (*with added new scan), 2551 removed from among The Missing.

Thanks, y'all!

Thank you. Again,my apologies that my source for the flip dropped through.

The late Walter Payton played electric bass in the 60s, (on many recordings, which all of you prob. know?). Per Oldaeus.
