There is also another tiny imprint stamp, but it is difficult to decipher...3 M's, perhaps?

WME (Warren McCleallan Evans)?

WME (Warren McCleallan Evans)?

No I am familiar with the WME inscription....the one I have is very faint but has three distinct markings or letters aligned next to each other.

I played my Pa Go Go and vinyl East Coast pressing of Cameo 428...both versions of "Midnight Hour" are exact. No differences.
And of course, "96 Tears" is full length on Pa Go Go, but has the early fadeout, time is also shown as 2:38
The deadwax has a Bell Sound raised relief stamp, and the EY letters hand-etched. There is also another tiny imprint stamp, but it is difficult to decipher...3 M's, perhaps?
Bell Sound in NYC then mastered and created stampers of both songs for the pressing plant.
Credit on Pa Go Go is Rudy Martinez, both songs as pictured above. The Cameo vinyl pressing credits the Mysterians for both songs. Ed Arguello is also noted.

Wow, thanks for checking (and proving me wrong!). I will now start picking up copies of the single on Cameo hoping to find one that plays the alternate version.

I have over a dozen copies and only 1 shows a time of 2:53, but just recorded it and it's only about 2:42. The rest are 2:38. None have the three letter itched. Most if not all were bell sound stamped.

**Based on the Monarch sequence, the 2:35 version (△62831) of "Midnite Hour" was cut/pressed before the more common 2:24 version (△63152-X).

Hey all,

I've completed latest update for the A to Z TBM pdf file. The old one has been deleted.
This file will be the source until a new update is completed, at least 6 months from now if not longer.

Adobe has now made it difficult to create a free pdf file and allow it as 'read-only. In order to do things as before this change, Adobe wants a user to pay a subscription, cheapest is $21 a month, for my use/needs it is $39 a month. This caused some problems which i'm trying to fix.
I was messing with the code to fix things and for some reason, the links on the webpage for the A to Z file, TBM radio and e-mail contact are not working.
All links open as they should in a new window, but load the website homepage.
So, until I have time to troubleshoot, I will e-mail the direct link for downloading to anyone who wants the file.
Only recommended for laptops, i-pads, etc. Smartphone is not recommended due to the large file size (526 pages).

Do not PM your request or post it in this thread. Keep this thread for your comments, suggestions, etc.

Send me an e-mail here to request the A to Z pdf:

tbm radio email

Thanks!

Has anyone else had difficulty accessing the new version of the TBM updated A-Z from the November 25 blog? When I click the link it just takes me back to the blog homepage. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Regarding Stan Meredith & The Shadows, these guys may have been from the Warren/Benton County, Indiana area rather than Illinois. The Illinois address associated with the label is only a short distance from the state line.

Also, on further reflection, the August 1965 date on the label might be the date the label was formed, rather than a release date for this record.
