The source for this discography is Shades of Soul fanzine, acknowledgements to Derek Pearson, Ken Klee, Steve Armitage, Colin Dilnot, Ray Ellis, Graham Coates, and Andy Rix - it takes a whole lot of collectors to make a good discography! The format with Goldwax appearing again and again at the end of each entry is so in order to make it compatible with other record entries, with the final objective of adding this list to a the gigantic complete soul data file everybody's dreaming of...
Thanks also to Peter Hoogers for helping out with a few tracks that were missing on the original discography.
Also thanks to Mike Gray of Melbourne, Australia for supplying the info about the last missing track we had - #114!
Peter Hoogers wrote in from Holland:
I have two more records on Goldwax:
Percy Milem: I slipped a little/I'm crying over you - Goldwax 201
Barry Margolis wrote:
The Percy Milem single "I Slipped a Little" is from the post-Bell distributed era. Possibily the very early 1970's.
Also mentioned by Peter Hoogers: Spencer Wiggins: Old friend/The power of a woman/ That's how much I love you/Once in a while - Goldwax EPG-503
I have that EP too - the numbering hints that there were at least two or three more EP's. What were they? - Yoni
Mike Gray wrote in from Melbourne : I have never seen on any sale auction list the following: 102/104/304 (Oboe), 103, 303/310/ (Yo Yo's) 324 (Carmel Taylor) 325/319 (Terrys) were they released? are their many copies around?
Some info about distribution of Goldwax courtesy of Barry Margolis: most of the 100's series were distributed by Vee Jay. After Vee Jay's collapse, Goldwax may have been independent for some time at the end of the 100's sereies, then the Bell distribution deal was signed, with which the 300's series were started.
