Nobles (Connecticut) error – Schoolhouse Rock/ A Way To Tell Her, ’58 (End 1021)
- The End release is by Nicky De Matteo.
- De Matteo is from Philadelphia.
- Since the Roulette GG-59 label scan of Schoolhouse Rock claims to be a reissue of the original End #1021, it is miscredited asby Nicky & The Nobles.
- The teenage sounding Nicky DeLano/Nobles is a different person than Nicky DeMatteo.
as Timbres – Oops, Oh Lawdy/ Stop Crying, ’58 (Cupid 1002)
as Timbers – Oops Oh Lawdy/ Stop Crying, ’58 (Tee Gee 101)
Nobles (Massachusetts?) – Oops Oh Lawdy/ Stop Crying, ’58 (Tee Gee 101)
- No scans were found.
Note: The book listed the ABC-Paramount group of Nobles and the Tee Gee group together. In addition, they linked the entry to the Timbers on Cupid (Massachusetts).
- There are scans for the Nobles on ABC-Paramount, with the Tee Gee 101 and Cupid 1002 asby The Timbers/Timbres.
- None were found asby The Nobels on Tee Gee 101.
- I heard a soundbite for ‘Oops, Oh Lawdy’ and ‘Standing Alone’. Both The Timbres/Timbers and Nobels sound like the same group.
- Additional info is welcome.
