Twenty-nine more tracks from Philadelphia's Red Top Records, a local company that recorded some of the city's young hopefuls; the label hung out its shingle in 1957 and hung tough until the early '60s. None of these selections made any noise nationally and were strictly local, earning the acts a few more bucks at clubs and hall appearances and little else. Outtakes, unreleased tracks, and sides created under Red Top's umbrella and leased to other companies flesh out the track total. The Blue Notes' (an early edition of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes) biggest single prior to Philadelphia International ("My Hero") is on board, as well as super rarities by Joe Tex (country) and the outrageous Screamin' Jay Hawkins. The Four Naturals' pop songs are the only deviants from the doo wop/R&B stew. Of note are both sides of the Sharmeers' 1958 Red Top single (the Sharmeers were a good girl group whose lead vocalist sounds like a young Ruth McFadden, who later recorded for Gamble Records). ........................................................................ tRACK iNFORMATION 01 Students - Mommy and Daddy 2:38 02 Bluenotes - My Hero 2:41 03 Sharmeers - School Girl In Love 2:26 04 Quintones - Oh Heavenly Father 2:15 05 Tony and the Twilighters - Be My Girl 2:12 06 Ivy Tones - Each Time 2:36 07 Screamin' Jay Hawkins - Armpit Number 5 2:30 08 4 Naturals - I Hear A Rhapsody 2:44 09 Blue Notes - Devoted to You 2:34 10 Quintones - There'll Be No Sorrow 2:37 11 Tony and the Twilighters - Yes or No 1:59 12 Troupers - Non Support 2:04 13 4 Naturals - Blue Moon 2:01 14 Bluenotes - Pucker Your Lips 2:52 15 Sharmeers - You're My Lover 2:01 16 Tony and the Twilighters - Gee But I'd Give 2:36 The World 17 Quintones - I Watch the Stars 2:15 18 Students - Mommy and Daddy 2:48 19 Bluenotes - Hey Doc 2:23 20 Tony and the Twilighters - Yes or No 2:05 (outtake) 21 Screamin' Jay Hawkins - The Past 2:12 22 Joe Tex - Wicked Woman 2:38 23 Bluenotes - A Good Woman 2:12 24 Quintones - There'll Be No Sorrow 2:37 25 Students - Mary 2:13 26 Bluenotes - Pucker Your Lips 2:34 27 Gainors - Gonna Rock Tonight 2:04 28 Tony and the Twilighters - Be My Girl 2:20 (outtake) 29 Quintones - Oh Heavenly Father 2:16 ........................................................................ gROUP mEMBERS Rippers: Umm Yea We Have a few ;) ........................................................................ gROUP gREETS BERC - BOS - DISS - JUST - LOGOS KSi - EGO - rH - YARD - aPC - Amok ViC - OZM - iDX - PMS - gF - AMRC ........................................................................ gROUP nEWS We Came into the Scene With a Bang in 2001 with over 3800 Releases of awesome Tunes for the year.We Hope to Carry on The Tradition in 2002.We will be Rockin even harder and faster in 2002 and Remember "It's not the Year that Matters it's the Music" aAF Forever!!! ........................................................................ cONTACT iNFORMATION We're looking for : ...ppl who make tues store pickups of cds on a regular basis... ...ppl who can get promos or pre street rls... ...ppl who have large cd collections... ...ppl with skill and experience who feel they can help us... ...ppl who can supply legal shells or bnc's... ...ppl who can supply hardware... ...siteop's who host 100mbit+ 200 gig+ mixed sites for affils...
