That I got out of Bleeker bob's in NYC before we knew who it was and sold to Keb for future stardom.

Also someone told me the label was owned by a multi millionaire business family; does anyone remember the details?

the label was run by the mizell brothers and freddie perren. there are details about how the label formed on the wax poetics 45 reissue. you can hear the story of the moments on hog in my mark greene interview. they later evolved into the leaders on volt.

Thanks everybody, it was the Wax Poetics I got told about I'll give your broadcast a listen Bob. That may not be right Jaco but if I can get hold of the Mizells they will be able to tell me who else was involved.

Do you know who has the acetate now Soulman 1964? You possibly?

Cheers

the last time i saw the acetate was around 15 years ago, in carlos fortnums grubby mitts, he'd just aquired it from gary spencer. in a straight swap for willie & mighty magnificents i seem to recal

The back of the wax poetics 45 reissue has a writeup based on interviews with the mizells (there was also a previous writeup in wax poetics in a mizell interview but it left off details). The mizells don't remember anything about the group except that they went to Stang and Stang switched up the lineup. It says this in the back of the 45 reissue, which is later and contradicts the previous wax poetics article saying the group had nothing to do with the stang group. Talking to them probably won't give you more info. Greene gives more details -- he met the group at Edgewood right after they recorded the single, they went to Stang, recorded the first moments singles not on the outside and I'm so lost, then Stang switched up the lineup. One of the Hog group members remained in the Stang group for a couple more singles. There is a picture of the Hog group with Mark on Mark's webpage.

Thanks again Bob and Soulman, I'll be ringing that Stamford lad up then.

Steve Chadwick had it ..I think he purchased it from Carl F .. Steve sold it to Paul Everton (?) or maybe Keith Williams ... Keith will confirm one way or the other

I did hear that Paul had all of his records destroyed so it might be dead now

Hi Andy, is he the one who ended up with the second copy of Gerri Granger? Why Can't It Be Tonight and a disgruntled missus smashed them all?
