  • ARSC Journal
    CURRENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by Tim Brooks Much important and interesting research on recording history and artists appears in small and generally unindexed collectors publications. It is the purpose of this column to help readers find these articles, and to keep abreast of the latest research in all fields of interest to the ARSC membership. If you write to one of these journals or authors, please mention ARSC and "Current Bibliography." A lot of them have no idea who we are! To be included here an article must be in English, reasonably original, and deal with recording history--as opposed to musicological, sociological or current collecting subjects (such as LP reviews, record prices, current artists, etc.). Current Bibliography supplements the less frequent Bibliography of Discographies in that a great many non­ discographic articles of interest are included here (artist biographies, label and genre histories, repair and preservation techniques, etc.). "W/D" indicates that the article did include a discography, although this is often no more than a simple list of releases by catalog number. The listing this time is rather lengthy, due to the long gap between issues of the Journal. Issues covered are those received between February 1986 and July 1987. Most issues listed here should still be available from the publishers, at the addresses indicated below. Among the new publications listed this time are Rockin' 50s, a slick little bi-monthly from Bill Griggs (longtime head of the Buddy Holly Memorial Society) which focusses on '50s rock music of all artists; and Show Music, from ARSC member Max Preeo. Although the latter-rs-concerned mainly with current Broadway recordings, interesting historical articles by Richard C.

Hope that’s clear. Yet again, we think it’s an interesting selection and we thank you for your attention and ongoing support. Good luck! MIN. BID FEBRUARY RARE SOUL AUCTION A JOHNNY ROBINSON GONE BUT NOT OKEH 4-7307 VG++ 200 FORGOTTEN WD Robinson made three singles for the famous Okeh label, of which only this one could really be deemed to be ‘Northern’. He calls in Mike Terry on a Don Mancha/Freddie Gorman song, so – probably not recorded in Detroit, but with all the sentiment of that great soul city. Never booted, it would be a tremendous addition to a ‘thinking’ deejay set. Have listed as VG++, but really, only one small mark takes it away from mint. B SEPTEMBER JONES I’M COMING HOME KAPP 802 WD VG++ 200 Talk of the Motor City (item A) leads us to this Detroit gem, a Pied Piper Production leased out to New York’s Kapp label. Quite a bit is known of the recording details of this one, i.e., October 17th 1966 with many of the Funk Brothers on instrumentation and the Andantes on backing vocals but little has ever been found out about the artist herself.
