Are Candlelite 414 and Champagne 414 two sides of the same record despite the different label names?
The Baskerville / Admirations / Belmars, I believe, actually evolved from the Chestnuts/Five Chestnuts on Drum (1958) and Elgin (1959).
Anyone from New Haven have details to add? I’m sitting down here in Virginia with no first-hand knowledge.
From the scans, #414 Candlelite and #414 Champagne are both Wayne Stierle Productions, suggesting that ‘one’ release was issued on these two differently named labels. Both scans feature the ‘Candlelite’ symbol.
‘Norven Baskerville’ is named on the Admirations release on X-Tra 100. He was formerly with the Five Chestnuts on Drum and Elgin #001-3.
Thanks for your comment. Stay safe.
First-hand knowledge on the Candlelite #414 release is welcome too.
