Silas Phifer / Edwin Johnson- Gotta Find My Baby
I'll be selling records this Saturday and Sunday, October 29 & 30 at the WFMU Record Fairin Manhattan. I'll be at table C-22, towards the back of the room. I'll exist peddling a few rare garage 45s, enough of LPs, and fifty-fifty some 78s.Please come by and say hello, I'd similar to meet any regular readers of the site. If you haven't been before, please be brash it's insanely crowded until late in the day.
I'grand trying to articulate up some of the confusion near the various Warrior labels that existed in Texas, Montana, Louisiana and California.
Let'southward offset with Chan Romero's Warrior characterization from Billings, Montana:
I've read that Chan, a one-time Pueblo, Colorado resident best known for writing and recording "Hippy Hippy Shake" owned the Warrior label that released the cracking single "I Don't Recall" by the Trolls (also from Pueblo). I was uncertain of this, as a observe in Billboard announcing the germination of Romero'southward Warrior label in Billings, Montana came much later – 1971. Withal, Lisa Wheeler of Pueblo Metropolis Limits related that Chan told her he was indeed the owner of Warrior, starting information technology in Billings as early as 1962.
Billings, Montana. Chan Romero, possessor, circa 1962-1966:
likely incomplete – any help with this would be appreciated

The Kavemen came from the southeastern section of Dallas, Texas. Jerry Colwell had discussed the Kavemen in a longer interview about his career with Kit and the Outlaws and other bands:
Later on joined the #1 Dallas ring The Cavemen [sic] and played boxing of the bands confronting Jimmy Vaughan and his ring, and the Royals and others. In 1965 the Cavemen was the home ring for a Nighttime order "Surfers A Go Become" in Dallas, where nosotros played with Chuck Drupe, Roy Caput, the original Drifters, Jimmy Velvet and Johnny Dark-green and the Greenmen. We played at clubs all over Texas, my favorites were the "Bamboo Hut" in Galveston, and "Panther Hall" in Fort Worth, a televised consequence every calendar week. We as well played at Louanns many times.
Every bit information technology turns out, they recorded four songs at Sumet Sound Studios which were never released. Carlene Fonseca sent me the songs from their unreleased acetate and passed along this info from her ex-hubby Tommy Fonseca:
The ring got together first as an instrumental group playing at Twilight Time Skating Rink, in Dallas, TX and playing for high school dances at H. Grady Spruce High School and E. B. Comstock Junior High. Jimmy and Roland Allen were singers and they went to Spruce Hello and heard the ring and offered to sing for them.
The recording was done at Summit [Sumet] in Dallas. The recordings were not released. The jumps & skips are because of a defect in the master dub. Tommy said somebody dropped it and it was chipped at the spot where the 1st vocal was on the 1st side and the 1st song on the flip side.
Rodney Vineyard, the lead guitar, left the group to play with Sunny Satin and the Mysterians. The Kavemen couldn't find another lead guitar so they bankrupt up. When the studio was ready to release it they declined since the group was no longer together.
Tommy recently spoke to Roland Allen. He lives in Gun Barrel City and he told Tommy that Jimmy had passed abroad the just the week earlier. We cannot locate Bill. He was the drummer. Rodney lives in Balch Springs, TX and he yet plays for VFW Posts occasionally.
Because of the flake in the lacquer, my favorite vocal "Tin can't You lot Run into" suffers from skips and drib-outs for the first xxx seconds. Aforementioned with the first song on the second side, "Why". The other ii, "Without You", and "I Feel the Aforementioned" are fine. I'g hoping to go a photo or scan of the acetate labels. Despite the flaws, these are fantastic examples of mid-60s Texas rock 'north roll!
The Kavemen – Tin can't Yous Run across
The Kavemen – Without You
The Kavemen – Why
The Kavemen – I Feel the Aforementioned
When updating the folio on the State of Listen, I started compiling a list of Chavis releases, looking for more garage type singles.
Equally it turns out, the State of Heed's ii 45s and the Tree's "No Good Woman" may have been the merely rock singles put out by James Chavis on his Candi, Chavis and Barvis labels out of Wilmington, Delaware. The others listed here are gospel, r&b, doo wop or soul.
Since I oasis't seen a complete discography anywhere else, I'm including what I've compiled hither:
Candi:
1020: Grand Prees – Jungle Fever (featuring Douglass Pettijohn) / Sit and Cry (featuring Bernice Marsh)
1021: Christian Harmonizers – The Solar day Has Passed and Gone / The Lord Will Brand a Mode
1022: Mighty Wonders – God Called Moses / All My Troubles Will Be Over
1023: Silas Phifer & the Mellow Fellows* – Gotta Find My Baby / Edwin Johnson & the Mellow Fellows – Yous Gave Me Love
1024: Santio'south Premiers and Nat. Miller – She's Yet My Baby / Doggin' the Twine
1025: Vibra-Tones and George Johnson – I'm Begging You Baby / Willie's Dream

1031: Maurice Williams & the Inspirations – The Day Has Come / Never Get out You Over again
1032: ?
1033: Empires – You're On Summit Daughter
* Mellow Fellows – I've read some speculation that this is the same group known as the Mello Souls behind the soul classic "We Can Make It" on the Mello label. Anyone have a scan of that?
Chavis:
1034: Matadors – Say Yes Babe / Carmen I Wish Yous Were Here
1035: Spidels – Like a Bee / You Know I Need Yous (1965)
1036: ?
1037: Mighty Wonders – Good News / He Heard Me Cry

Well-nigh of the gospel releases were produced by Lee Skinner. James Chavis' publishing was commonly listed with Vandever Music, BMI. Though located in Delaware, Chavis seems to have had some connections in North Carolina, the home of some of his gospel acts, like the Mighty Wonders.
