“Not the rarest record but very much under appreciated. I think its
from LA.”

Mod-Art pt 5
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005
For the sake of completeness, there was also a crappy Lp of jazz standards by The Willie Welch Band on Mod-Art, cat #: M-42283. It sucks.
Roger & The Gypsies
Monday, April 4th, 2005
“Pass the Hatchet, Pts. 1 & 2″ by Roger & The Gypsies on London, albeit an Argentinian (or so I’m asuming, it came from Buenos Aires) pressing. Plays at 33 1/3 rather than 45 rpm. There’s a little guy in the lower corner of the other side of the sleeve as well …

MA-2002 Chuck Sibit “No No Baby/ Out Of The Darkness”
The 45 of “My Style” by the Class-Set is pressed at the wrong speed. The only way to get the true mix of this track is on the LP. The Chosen Few 45 supposedly came out on the band’s own Few Inc. label initially, but I have never seen a copy. The McKinley Mitchell 45 also came out on the Bill Collin’s Black Beauty imprint. The Newsounds 45 originally came out on the Scorpion label, home of the Answers. The James Mann 45 first came out on the Soundtown label and is infinitely rarer in that form. Guitar Red’s 45 version of “Disco From A Space Show” is slightly different than the LP version, and Classetts lead singer Michael Quinn also offers a vocal version of the tune (with a cut from the Class-Set LP on the flip). The Confidentials 45 was originally on the Masterpiece label from Detroit and shows involvement from Jackie Harris of “Work Your Flapper” fame. It comes as an instrumental (with a good mix) under Earthly Upchurch’s name. The Casey Jones 45 also came out on the EPI label, credited to Casey Jones and the Firemen. The three versions of “She’s Gone” by label owner Chick Sibit all have drastically different mixes. The Georgianna McCoy version of “I’ve Got To Space” replaces the male lead with Georgianna’s female vocal, ditto the flip. I am aware of at least one other 45 on Mod-Art by Leon Farrell (of the Ghetto Sons on King James), but I have no hard details on that.

U.S. Warren and The Genghis Pea
Saturday, January 1st, 2005Anybody have any info on U.S. Warren and The Genghis Pea? One of my favorite scores of 2004 is their (?) “Hard Headed Woman” 45 (Chytowns). It’s a hell of a track, to the point where somebody called me at work on behalf of some jungle/drum ‘n’ bass kid the next day after one of the almost too many times I’ve been spinning it recently to ask what it is. Also, if anyone knows of it, are there any others by them out there? Or anything like it? Thanks …
