Brent Records

[captainsalty]

hey guys,

is there a Brent comp (official or homebrewn) out somewhere?

I never took to much interest in that label, but every time i check out a Brent release, it's top notch!

would also love to hear your input on great brent discs (garage but also girl group).

thanks!

Until recently, I've liked everything I'd heard on the Brent label. Two weeks ago, I found my first Brent 45 for 50 cents and was let down (Skip and Flip).

You may not realize it, but Flip was P.F. Sloan. He was, in my opinion, a very underrrated songwriter. The 2 Brent 45s came out in 1959, when Sloan was 13 years old! He deserves some slack.

Sorry but Flip is Gary Paxton not P.F. Sloan. And Skip is Clyde Battin. While Flip Sloan recorded a 45 at age 14 in 1959 he is not the Flip in Skip & Flip.

Speaking of Gary Paxton, his GARPAX garage tracks are coming out in
10 days.

Oops. I guess you're never too old to learn something new.

I picked this up at a local Chicago record store so it’s available now even though Amazon won’t ship for another week or so. It’s great as expected.

The Donays - Devil In His Heart (Brent) 45 is a killer girl group record that wipes the
floor with the better-known Beatles cover version in a soulful manner.

The Off Set "You're A Drag" is a cool one that doesn't turn up too often.

Same NY group as the Jubilee label lot?

Different group.

Another punky Brent 45 that isn't well known, probably because it's under a solo singer name.... Shane.

This one also is a bit under the radar... a cool "Gloria" ripoff by the delightfully-monikered Boo Boo and Bunky (!)
