James Price-Palm of Your Hand Contact 102-Memphis Soul.MOV (by jdoggtn7)

The Contact label was affiliated with Consolidated One-Stop at 1448 Mississippi Blvd in South Memphis. The 864 Kerr Avenue address on the label of this 45 was another door that faced Kerr in the same building, which I always suspected was full of old records. Unfortunately the building burned a few weeks ago in an arson fire. As for James Price, I know absolutely nothing, but he’s a relatively decent singer, presumably from Memphis.
