American Recording/british Release?

[Harry Crosby]

Allways wondered why this happened, IE FATHERS ANGELS-BOK TO BACH, was this a HERITAGE recording but not released on the label, only to be released on british, any ideas why this happened? cheers for any replies

not sure myself as the cherry people did get an issue on heritage and uk mgm, seen both issue and demo of uk father's angels as most people have....unusually, saw an american mgm issue at lea manor many years ago and a lot of people thought that didnt exist....perhaps someone else will explain that conundrum, maybe jerry ross thought it should have a major plug as the catholic priest who touted the band, was a friend.

always thought bok to bak was just a uk recording. mgm issued a lot of uk home grown stuff from 1967 onwards. alan bown. jethro tull, even tony christie & tony blackburn were on mgm in 1968.............. cherry people was licenced thru heritage

HI ALL the FATHERS ANGEL are the SIGMA STUDIO HOUSE band, IN THE SANE WAY THE FUNK BROS WERE THE MOTOWN HOUSE BAND, FATHERS ANGELS, THE VIRTUE ORCH, MFSB, TSOP FAMILY. ARE ALL THE SAME BOK to BACH IS A US RECORDING THAT WAS ISSUED FIRST ON UK MGM & LATER ON A HERATIGE LABEL (4 YEARS LATER).

Fathers Angels = MFSB. A common but now debunked theory. Fathers Angels were a group of youngsters that were mentored by a priest. The story is now well known that Jerry Ross took a punt on the group and licensed it to MGM. Full story can be found in one of the TTB! issues. If anyone has seen a Heritage Test Press or a US MGM TP I'd love to see a scan of it.

Hi Dave

I wonder If any of the Artists from Fathers Angels are aware of the Interest in "Bok To Bach" here in the UK.

Also wondering If they would have been given any type of UK or US Press at the time.

This is the way i understood the story dave, about the band being mentored by a priest, as ive said above ron pedley [york] swears he`s seen a test press, so maybe just maybe its out there

yeh jerry ross.... my brain must have been scrambled:hypo:...... never seen any legit heritage copies although i would say that that a proper test pressing would exist somewhere. showstoppers came out on uk mgm as well but according to another thread its on canadian heritage. wouldnt it be something if bok to bak surfaced on a canadian label. its a record ive never owned meself

HERES MY ISSUE COPY THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE I WAS A BOY (JUNK SHOP FIND)

It would, and i'm just expressing my personal opinion, nor indeed questioning anyone elses, be what must be a rare example of the U.S.A. having better "taste" than us on this side of the pond.

Maybe, as in the case of certain household cleaning products, or sweets, bok to bak, is cheyenne for "bag of shite"!, and if released would upset some people, where it may however tell scholars that phonetically the translation fits the meaning!!!!

LOL
