[78-L] Seger and Onyx label (was BB albums and oddball labels)

[Scott Wenzel]

The Seger I have is 7003 with "You Intrigue Me" (matrix S-4005-1) and
"That's What A Song Can Do" (matrix S-4006-1).

And I never think of looking in Bruyninckx since Lord usually has copied
(many times haphazardly) previously printed info. Anyway, there are a couple
of other entries in Lord with a group called the Velvetones that have Togge
Smythe on the SuperDisc label and on Columbia ! The Onyx release I have is
"Got A Cat By The Tail" (matrix M-51-619) and "Booters Rock" (matrix
M-51-620). I've been meaning to contact Billy Vera about these items as he
specializes in r&b/jump bands.

<I have images of 4 Seger records:
<7003 & 7004 by Bernice Parks, acc. Fred Norman O.
<7009 by Marie Rapp, acc. Ellis Larkins
7013 by Mary Ann Kelly, acc. Mundell Lowe O.
The latter 2 issues have been reported in Names & Numbers magazine 
(since it was such a rare label of at least some jazz interest) by Howard
Rye and me, 
and I was just preparing a note about the Parks records.
Do you have one of these or a different one? I think it is the well-known
Fred Norman,
considering the jazz acc. on the other issues.

Bruyninckx lists a single record by Togge Smythe:
TOGGE SMYTHE
Togge Smythe and the Four Sounds : Togge Smythe (ts) with unknown p, b and d
Unknown loc. and date
North wind Coleman 106
Harlem conference -
Smythe is mentioned in: Swing City: Newark Nightlife, 1925-50 by Barbara J.
Kukla.

Can you give the discographical info (cat.nr, titles, mxs) of the Onyx
issue?
