Thanks! That Pitter Pats track is nice, probably the same one that's on the Huey Smith comp on Bandy. I see Craig Moerer has a copy of All These Things, but on the Instant label for $75....
Anyone know anything about the relationship between Bandy, Instant, Minit & possibly other labels that seem to have a lot of overlap? Are there any good books on NOLA soul and r&b?
I like Skip Easterling's "Pennsylvania Coal Mine" too.
There's a decent anthology LP of his stuff, I think on Charly?
And the Bandy sets are common in the northeast as well,
there are copies that seem to have been pressed well into
the 70's if not the early 80's. My "Love You, New Orleans"
however, seems like a late 60's/early 70's pressing.

Banashak had Minit, Instant, Seven B and Alon (and probably five or six others I can't recall right now) allof which are represented on those Bandy comps.
I haven't seen that one in a LONG time.
Out of that entire New Orleans series that Charly did...with a B&W picture of the artist in the sixties juxtaposed with a more recent color pic from the Jazz & Heritage festival...I see Easterling's album the LEAST. One record store in town had that for a week, maybe two, then it was gone before I could buy it. In the meantime, other albums in that series (Benny Spellman, Ernie K-Doe, etc.) kept turning up for years on end.
Late sixties? I thought Bandy was a reissue label from the 70's/80's; I didn't think they went any farther back than that.

Well, it could certainly be early 70's, but the "Love You, New Orleans"
is definitely a vintage pressing, with textured paper pasteback cover
and heavy-ish vinyl. Assuming it was contemporaneous with the singles
included, I could see that comp coming out circa 1969/70. It's already
been pointed out that "All These Things" is just a reissue of a 60's Instant
label sampler. My copy of "All These Things" is on Bandy and is clearly
a later pressing than my "Love You," with a glossy cover and more modern
labels. This was my point, trying to figure out how long they kept this
stuff in print, and through how many pressings. I have seen a few different
era pressings of their Irma Thomas collection, as well.
As for the Skip Easterling Charly comp LP, they have some stock of it at
Cheapo Records in Cambridge. I think it's around $8 or so. In fact, you
could probably order it from them by phone: http://www.cheaporecords.com/
I had a comp on Minit called Home Of The Blues I liked.
But the one that got the most play was the Bandy VA one with all the great Irma Thomas sides.
I passed on most the others because I was stupid, and never cared for the low budget appearance, then they became scarce and now when I see them they are $15-20. But if I find the Skip Easterling I'll snag.

Going from memory, it seemed like all those Bandy releases had the same New Orleans portrait on the cover.
I think it originally appeared on that Minit anthology that Wolf mentions.
there are 2 volumes of those minit samplers...always in the DJ bag...great stuff, volume 2 has some great Irma tracks and Benny Spellman "Fortune Teller"...whats cool about them is that they are basically singles anthologies, with A and B sides...
