I became highly desperate when looking at Sammy Marshall's 45cat entry. 71 records and many of them seem to be from different artists of the same name. He was possibly the same artist who had a joint release with Les "Carrot Top" Anderson on the Springfield, Arkansas, based Patmar label. Maybe he was also the same who recorded for Allstar, K-Ark, Pleasant Valley or Belle Meade? Or maybe not? Who knows?
Since I cannot tell you anything substantial about the artist, we continue with the record label. Between 1960 and at least 1964, the label released several discs of various musical genres. There was rockabilly, country music, instrumental rock'n'roll, and pop music. And there was Sammy Marshall with "Kiss Me Good-Bye, Tomorrow", which I would call popular music, too. Marshall shared the disc with John Greer's take on the John Roddie song "(Oh, Ho, Ho, Ho) Heartaches".
If anyone has more information on Sammy Marshall or SPA Records, please feel free to leave a comment or contact me via e-mail.

All records listed at 45cat are from the same artist whose only "regular" records are as by Mark Taylor on Hi and Judd (1958-1959). Real name : Marc Stewart Simpson. A rather mediocre singer, if you ask me...

if it appeared on SPA, it was perhaps via Carl Friend, always ready to collect a few pennies...
