THE SUNLINERS "All Alone/The Swingin' Kind" on Golden World GW-31. Both sides of this record grade a visual VG+ and play VG++.
Excellent uptempo dancefloor white Detroit soul. This record is rare. Even the Terrana brothers do not have copies. An essential record in Detroit history.The Sunliners featuring the young Ralph and Russ Terrana brothers started as a young club band in Detroit and ended up spawning some of Detroit's most influential recording talent. Russ Terrana, working for Motown, Golden World, and Terra Shirma, went on to become one of the most decorated recording engineer's of all time with an unprecedented 89 number one chart singles and 34 number one chart albums, engineering legendary albums like Gaye's "Whats Going On", MJ's "Thriller," and Isaac Hayes's "Hot Buttered Soul." His brother Ralph took control of and built up Tera Shirma studios in the mid-to-late 60s, serving a large portion of Funkadelic's output, a large portion if not all of Ollie McLaughlin's late 60s Karen and Moira output, and even Isaac Hayes's Stax/Enterprise output. Ralph Terrana now moderates soulfuldetroit.com, where a lot of great information about the Detroit soul scene can be found.

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, 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.
