I am an admirer of the Randee Logo
and am digging out various 45's on the label.
The Saxie Russell 45 I posted before has stayed elusive.
Although I have once seen a copy of it in the past.
Anyway
anyone know this Randee 45 by
Adventures
'it's alright'
will be updating the
Detroit/philly/chicago thread soon
with more known/semi-known obscurities.
cheers

I have the record. The group is called The Adventurers. i'm not home right now, so can't check-but I believe it is Ran-Dee 106. Don may be able to tell us who the group members were. It's got a nice Chicago early '60s midtempo on the A side ("It's Allright"), and a novelty song on the flip. |

Hi Mel
Hi Robb K,
The only thing I heard about The Adventure's that they we're from Milwaukee from what was told to me. Recently I was doing some resreach, I couldn't find anything on this group.

Thanks for keeping the thread up, I'd forgotten to look up the record when I returned home. It IS Ran-Dee 106. The flip side, "I Don't Mind"was NOT a novelty song-a midtempo 1962 R&B song. The producer on both sides was Herb Bernstein. Didn't he work out of New York. He produced several really good girls group sessions in the early-mid '60s. The writers were Bernstein and Brown. "Brown" may have been a member of the group. It's interesting to see a Milwaukee group on a local Chicago label, produced (apparantly in NY, by a NY producer). milwaukee groups often came down to Chicago, and were produced and recorded there. But why did they come down to Chicago, only to be sent on to NY?
I think I remember seeing one or two other records by that group on local labels, but can't remember which. |

There's also an Adventurers' tracks on Blue Rock and Music World (later to be known as the Chosen Few) records too..but unlikely the Compass label bunch?
(Anyone know what Ran-Dee #119/120 is?) |

Robb,
The "Brown" in the writer credits for the Adventurers is probably Lawrence Russell Brown
who worked with Herb Bernstein at Bob Crewe
Productions.
Brown wrote a lot of songs for NY acts - his
biggest successes were, for me, his least interesting songs, - he co-wrote most of Dawn's
hits.
