[78-L] Eddie Dean on Gold Seal, was Re: Eddie South on Gold Seal

[Glenn Longwell]

Han,

For an additional image on the Chicago Gold Seal, go to:

If you want the flip side let me know.  Also, this may answer your question about the A-67.  This particular record I have shows the catalog number (6264) and the matrix number (B64) on the label.  Well, close to the matrix number as it says B64 on the label but in the wax it's BT-64.  So maybe A-67 is the matrix.  According to a Nov. 1, 1947 Billboard article Klein bought masters from a defunct west coast outfit to outlast the Petrillo strike that included Eddie Dean and Cliff Stone (my record is an Eddie Dean with Cliff Stone Orch) so perhaps that's why the numbering seems odd for this company.  Klein wouldn't mention who he bought the masters from.  My record is Cry, Cry, Cry! (mx. BT-64-1) and 1501 Miles of Heaven (mx. BG-62-2), both by Eddie Dean with Cliff Stone Orch.

So where was this master from?  Gold Seal or one of the purchased masters?

NOTE:

Composer credits as on labels. 
Gold Seal was owned by Leonard Klein.
----------

There are 2 Gold Seal labels in ARLD, in California and Chicago.
1) I have images of GS 001-002 by "Red Mack" a/h All Stars (mxs St.001-004).
Labels state: GOLD SEAL / Recorded In Hollywood.

2) A different label, stating: Gold Seal [not all-caps] / Mfd. by Gold Seal Record Co. Chicago.
Several issues in ARLD, dated c.1946-3/47-4/48, with odd release nrs.
My images include 333 ('Bats In Your Belfry'), 3501 (Kenny Jagger, organ), and
5657 (Valaida, with Buzz Adlam), & 7262 Frankie Laine with The Hollywoodsmen
(yes, on the Chicago label).
There is also A-67 Red Murrell Ozark Mountain Boys: Hound Dog Blues
( I cannot see if A-67 is the cat.nr or the mx.nr).
ARLD lists NO owners for these GS labels.

3) a different label type is used for the Eddie South titles, without rim text.
Owned by Leonard Klein (acc. to Barnett), and recorded in NY.
The matrix letters suggest only a few recordings on the label.
Is anything known about this label or Klein?

4) There is also a Gold Seal Album by Robert Crum (piano), incl. issues 101-103.
This may be on the Chicago label (I have images of the album only), since Crum played in Chicago.

Any info on these very small labels appreciated.
