Sebastian Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Just found a King Coleman 45 that I can't find any info about anywhere: King Coleman - Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea / Mashed Potato Man - VI-TOSE 102 I've found mentions of two other 45s on the VI-TOSE label (#100 and #101), but no mention of #102. "Mashed Potato Man" on this disc is by the way not the same tune as "The Mash Potato Man" on TOGO, "(Do The) Mashed Potatoes" on DADE or "Rock Gospel Mash" on KING. Any further info? Sounds early 60's, 1963-ish. Moody mid-tempo on the a-side and uptempo r&b dancer on the b-side. Edited July 10, 2012 by Sebastian

Sebastian Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 sounds inetersting mate, great find so far..wouldnt mind hearing it . Here are soundclips: "Mashed Potato Man" https://www.shingaling.com/KingColeman-MashedPotatoMan.mp3 "Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea" https://www.shingaling.com/KingColeman-BetweenTheDevilAndTheDeepBlueSea.mp3 i have the careless five on 101 if you need info on that for some reason Is it any good? Is the info below correct? VI-TOSE 100 - Cal Richards - Let Him Get His Own Girl / Small Town Girl VI-TOSE 101 - Careless Five - (Do You Love Me) Tell Me Right Now / Summertime VI-TOSE 102 - King Coleman - Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea / Mashed Potato Man I read somewhere that the Cal Richards 45 is from 1965, but don't know if that is right?
Robbk Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 The vocalist mentions The Jerk and The Twine, so 1965 sounds about right. It COULDN'T be 1963, as those songs didn't yet exist then.

Dave Pinch Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 the devil and the deep blue sea was an old cab calloway number from the 1930`s
