Description
This record is an original pressing from the personal collection of legendary Detroit recording engineer, Ed Wolfrum. (see short bio below ***)
JIMMY GILFORD "Nobody Loves Me Like My Baby"/"Too Late To Cry" on Thelma 501. Both sides look and play Strong VG+ to VG++. A-side has xol as shown in picture.
One of my favorite Detroit records. Excellent unique cut with great production and musicianship. Works magic on the dance floor. It's hard not to appreciate everything that Don Davis and Groovesville publishing put out, especially Thelma records. Don Davis spent a lot of his time at United Sound, eventually buying the studio in the early 70s. This record was tracked at United Sound by either Bill Beltz or Les Cooley, most likely Cooley who built the original 4-track wrap-around recording console at United and moved on to become Chief Engineer at Columbia's Manhattan studio in the early 70s.

ED WOLFRUM
This is one of a set of 13 deep Detroit records currently listed up on ebay from the collection of Dr. Edward J. Wolfrum. An engineer who worked consecutively at Motown, Golden World, United Sound, and Theme Productions in the 60's, and his own Audio Graphic Services studios since the early 70's, Edward Wolfrum is an engineer with deep roots into the Detroit recording scene. Wolfrum worked on such disparate records as Funkadelic's first three LPs, Isaac Hayes's "Hot Buttered Soul," the Tomangoes "I Really Love You," the Association's "Along Came Mary," to a large share of Marvin Gaye's Output. Today Wolfrum performs mostly binaural mannequin head recordings of classical/orchestral music, most notably recent recordings in Detroit of the works of 50s/60s DSO conductor, Paul Paray. Wolfrum worked within the close knit family of recording engineers, producers, label owners, and musicians that existed in a time when immense technical and artistic talent filled the city of Detroit. Wolfrum worked most closely with his good friend Russ Terrana and coworkers at United Sound like Danny Dallas and Les Cooley. Responsible for countless huge orchestral records, echo laden drum breaks, and pounding Detroit Soul workouts, Ed Wolfrum looms large in the magic of the Detroit Sound.
