Pawn O or Pawn D with a Hi Records production...I can tell you, Mel, that there was a sister label to Hi named simply Pawn, which issued some nice sides by acts like the Known Facts and Willie Clayton.
It wasn't in business very long, though. I believe Demon (the UK handlers for the Hi material) have released some CDs with Pawn material on them.
Best,

The Indigos on Neptune were written by Gamble and Huff, and Leroy Hudson (Hutson) and Donny Hathaway, and were arranged by Thom Bell. Assorted Music.
Bob Gallo seemed to be the house arranger at Hurd. Nick Rudd may have been the A&R man there. It was a small indie NY(Utica)label around during the mid '60s. Recording must have been done in NYC.
Craig Records was a small Philadelphia indie label, operating in 1963 ('64?). I have only Bunny Sigler on it, and all his cuts were remakes of older R&B hits. No listing of producers & arrangers.
I'm very curious about the Freeman Bros. on Sprout, too. Their Motown cuts were produced by Staunton and Walker. These were written by Jerry freeman and Johnny mitchell. Was this Detroit's Johnny Mitchell (of Majestics)? The pressing could be East Coast (but it also could be Detroit). I've been told Sprout was a NY, Philly and Detroit label by different people (I'm not sure if ANY of them knew). It's not a ZTSC Columbia Terre Haute pressing, but looks like it could have been pressed there (but also could be NY). Music Pub. is Idea Music.
As to "Hey Stoney Face": I've seen hundreds of '60s songs recorded by four or 5 different artists within a 0-4 year period. There's no reason to single this song out for that question. As a Pipkin-Gordon song written by them for "Motown West" (LA's Jobete Music operation), it had the advantage of national exposure-being in the Jobete catalogue. Lots of '60s producers wanted to put a good dancer on the flip of their ballad side. Pipkin and Gordon wrote several of that ilk in the mid '60s. Several producers liked this particular one. |

There's a Sprout label for Johnny Richardson's, 'Every night the same time' (NYC?), with both green and gold label variants.
Johnny has a youthful vocal and the backing track is 100mph NSoul...mind you he seems to come in at the wrong point after the inst break and halts and re-enters again...couldn't afford a second take maybe...lol. :-) |
