So... I have been trying to figure out the discography of the Houston Texas based label; Cinema (probably most "known" here for the Greg Barr 45)
I have some up with a bit of conflicting info and was wondering if anybody could help. The Wickam & Richman garage guide lists 1900 storm of having a 45 on Cinema (not a far leap as I have their 45 on the related Texas Revolution label) with a different A side ("A Beautiful day" - as opposed to the TR-2 track "Sympathy Stone") and the same B side("Lila"). The guide has this listed as being cat # "C-GP=003/4"
Yesterday a buddy found a DJ Copy of Cinema C-003 (Susan Giles Hurry Up Sundown/Losing Faith) and traded it my way. which is now leading me to question whether the info regarding the existence of the 1900 Storm is wrong and if so, in what way. Anybody have one?
Earlier 45s on Cinema (like Frankie Lee or Johnny Williams) had different numbers for each side like 1000 B/W 1001 and 1002 B/W 1003 but that still does not wildly explain "C-GP=003/4"
There there is a Sound investment 45 with the filmstrip label graphic (like The Countdown 5 had on Uncle Kirby) which has the GP in the cat number

For reference, here a couple other visuals to help sort out the numbering.
C-003 has the Bowtie logo like tha A-440 45s.
And then there is the simpler logo like on The Clique Splash 1 (which was also used for the Frankie Lee or Johnny Williams)
So, I guess the easy question would be if any of you have made a Cinema discography. Likewise, if anybody has any of the titles that I am missing that you would be willing to sell or even just share info on, I am all ears on those topics too. Cinema related ephemera also welcome!
