BRITESTAR 763

Mt Vernon, IN   (Floyd Whiteman)

Brite star, owned by Floyd Whitehurst, is a particularly difficult label to get to grips with as the label seems to continue from this number, and some were sent to Starday for pressing in which they farmed out the pressing duties to Rite. The general though here is that this is a genuine Starday Custom, although one or two collectors seem to disagree.

I imagine the auther of both these songs is the ledgendary Rock-A-Billy cat Herbie Duncan of Mar-Vel Records fame.

Label owned by Floyd Wiseman. The Brite Star Label is a little confusing. A fre months from this release, they issue another which then continues it's numbering series. Some arepressed by Rite of Cincinnati, OH, whereas some labels are printed by King Records. The general agreement is that if it's published by Starday (or one of its custom publishing affiliates), then it counts as a Starday Custom Pressing. However, other records on different labels fill in the gaps in the numbering series. Since the next one isn't until #763, then we can deal with it then.

Well, I may well have a label shot, but as yet I haven't heard this disc. As for the artist - once again I have as much info as a UK bank manager has integrity. There was a Roy Fisher who recorded for the New England record label in 1961 ("Pool Stick Window" / " Moon Powers" - #1004) which could be the same guy, but I'm clutching at straws here really. (New England was out of Houston, TX circa 1961/2 and owned by Dan R Andrade.) (MC)

6 June 2013 - Heard the B side at least. Hillbilly with a beat is the way I can describe it. Kind of like Chandros McRill on Stardust Records. Pretty good. The "swing" of the record would make it collectible. Note the reply below by a resident of Michigan City. Many thanks for that ....(MC)
