IN PHILADELPHIA IN THE MID TO LATE SIXTIES THERE EXISTED A ONE STOP RECORD DISTRIBUTORSHIP THAT SOLD MOTOWN CUTOUTS FOR TEN CENTS. THE ALBUMS WERE FIFTY CENTS.THEY ALSO CARRIED ALOT OF THE OTHER DETROIT LABELS AS WELL.
I DONT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE PLACE BUT IT WAS ON BALTIMORE AVENUE JUST WEST OF 55TH STREET. VAL SHIVELY WHO RUNS R&B RECORDS USED TO WORK THERE.
I FREQUENTED THE STORE QUITE OFTEN AND PURCHASED SO MANY RECORDS WHICH ARE NOW CONSIDERED TO BE RARE.APPARRANTLY THE CUTOUTS MUST HAVE COME FROM CHIPS DISTRIBUTORS WHO CARRIED THE MOTOWN LINE
AS WELL AS THE OTHER DETROIT LABELS.
I WILL TRY TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE PLACE AND GET BACK WITH THAT INFO.
