Moore's the engineer, don't know if he was on the recording.
The date's December of 63 and not 62.
I have 2 singles from Volt around that time that I think could be they, but again, the numbers. AAAARRRRRRGH!
I give up.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Heather's job is cool....
Hey, is there anywhere to get streaming Stax/Volt music? The old R&B station on launch.com tried to play me "Come See About Me," and that's just not what I'm in the mood for.

Hmmm. I suppose you could just have a Memphis soul only station on Launch.
WWOZ is a great radio station out of New Orleans, but they obviously slant towards their own local brand. There's a great show on Tuesdays though, of NOLA soul 50s R&B with Jivin' Gene. 7-10 EST.
Records From the Crypt is also really cool.

For the most part. I just think these 3 invoices would be worth much more if I could match them to songs.

The number doesn't seem to be a catalog number, but probably refers to a recording session. I wonder if you could email somebody like Peter Guralnick? He wrote the book Sweet Soul Music about Memphis soul, so he might have an idea. Or anybody that had the complete Stax singles box set could probably look up that recording date.

Heather, here's a list of Stax singles from that era. I'm pretty sure it must've come out on Volt with the V in the number. I'm thinking that is a catalog number now, since it's so similar to the Stax numbering.

Damn, maybe not. You can see from this label that Volt's catalog numbers start with VLT.

I think you should start with the Booker T. listings in 1963 in that first Stax singles list. It's probably one of those.
Though Steve Cropper wasn't just the guitarist in Booker T. (hence, the house guitarist at Stax), he was also one of the main producer/songwriters so he would've overseen a number of productions that he didn't play on. The fact that it was done at Sam Phillips studio though, is intriguing and weird. He could've been doing something with the Bill Black Combo.

Here's contact info for Sun Studio. If there isn't an inhouse historian, or if there's a separate one for the Memphis Recording Service to whom you'd need to speak, I'm sure they can point you in the right direction. Toll free number & everything. And here's info for the Stax museum, which so impressed our man Mr. Childs.

Boss used to work for Sun. He says they don't have anything.
