That makes sense. I had heard of the infamous Dr. Edelsten connection, but because both labels were distributed by Astor, I assumed the connection was legit. Silly me, haha.

I checked Vols 1-3 quickly and it looks like I have all of them except unreleased tracks (Modes, maybe one other?). You could do them or if you don't, I will. I'm missing a few psychy ones from Vol.4, so if you have most of those, you probably have more than I have.

Here are quite a few of the 45s produced by Vince Jan at the Fine Recording Studio, Rochester, NY in the mid-to-late '60s (and a few from the early '70s). Warning, warning - these are not all garage. There are funk, soul, folk/pop and rockabilly 45s included, and some of them aren't too great either. But I have a soft spot for Fine after nearly killing myself exhuming the decaying remains of the burnt-out, waterlogged studio, 10 years ago. And some of them are ungodly rare.
I didn't go so far as to include, gospel, jazz or lounge 45s. Thank goodness.

Have you transferred everything salvageable from the Fine tapes or is there still much left?

There's still a lot of early r&r. But none of it is particularly great.

It's difficult to find much discography info on the Wisconsin based Cuca brand, which included Cuca, Sara and Night Owl labels. I've pieced together as much as I can, but without going through TBM and Beyond TBM from A-Z, I'm sure I've missed some. Beware collecting Cuca label 45s on spec, as most of them could turn out to be polka records.

Pity I'm missing Lindy Blaskeys two 45s on Lavette (decent but no big deal sound-wise), since he was the owner of the label. All the other goodies are here though...

Australian label "in", based in Melbourne was a subsidiary of W&G. Apart from the Loved Ones discs, which were top 40 hits and are thus in plentiful supply, most of the rest of the In catalog is extremely difficult to find, especially in nice condition. Items like the Elois just never show up, except as bootlegs. Looking at the original copy of the Elois shown in the photo below, you can see that the dot above the "i" in the "in" logo is properly centered (see Soundog's post below and my reply for a clarification of this). Bootleg copies have a lop-sided dot.

Tantara, missing the two Magic Circle 45s. Tantara literally means "The blare of a trumpet or horn". Luckily the label didn't live up to its name.

The Montgomery label featured combos from Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC. Where the label was based, I don't know.

Most, but not all of the great 45s on Manhattan. Probably a Louisiana based label, releasing records by artists from California, Florida and Louisiana.

Missing one or two good ones from this set. I can't think what they are. A little bit of label info here:

Here are most of the Tener label releases, from Florida. Missing is the Denny Noie 45, and a couple of lesser items.

Beautiful! Never saw much of the "New talent series" out there, surely a tuff set to score? Of course, the picture is missing the three spectacular Lee Moses 45s, but I'm sure you have them stowed away in your up and coming soul collection.

Hmmm, entirely possible I'm seeing things not as they are, but as I perceive them to be. In other words, do these two copies look exactly the same, or does the darker colored label example (my copy of 15 or so years) appear to have the "I" off just a bit to the left than the lighter colored label (Marks') copy? The matrix on mine is hand etched IN S 8067 BY MY SIDE paired with what resembles a small etched JW l=1 directly opposite on the other side of the dead wax. Never having seen a repro / boot I've no idea of any other distinctive characteristics either might have? I'm quite certain mine is original, though I've no idea when the reissue / boot edition may have been issued.
One thing for certain, my copy certainly has a generous & varied array of undoubtedly vintage hairlines & surface distress. None of which, fortunately, impacts on the ferocious intensity of the playback.
My guess is that there may have been a bit of variation in the printing of the labels, and the copy used for the later re-issue simply utilized an original with the off center "I". But then again, how many copies would have been pressed of the original? BTW, there is what I recall as an alternate pic of the band from the one pictured below in an issue of Go- Set.
An issue that almost certainly currently resides in a facility roughly 878.2 km from Melbourne.
& in the interest of all in take no prisoners trainspottingly sad geekery heres the flip. Also just a bit off, perhaps? Sort of not unlike this post???
