Caretakers of Deception?

[Sancho Panza]

Does anyone know if this was a studio outfit or an actual band? Been searching and only found out that they supposedly were from LA, but nothing has ever been confirmed.

The amazing back story is almost too good to be true. Anyone ( Hmmm, who might that be?) been able to verify it?

Do you have the 45 or did you find the scan somewhere?

I don't think there's much soundog III doesn't have!

I don't think there's much soundog III doesn't have!

Haha, now I feel ashamed! One of those guys who everyone knows who he is, but I don't? (Since I' a newbie here, could you spare me the yelling part? )

No one has been able to turn up anything on the group. I found the publishing crew years ago and came up with zilch-o. Garagehangover has an entry on the group so someone may come forward in the future.
I have a copy of the 45, always bugged me that "X + Y = 13" was mastered with a lower volume output, much more noticeable than the A side.

I'm hoping to rustle a snakes nest too.

So it could be either? I've always fantasized that it was a group of 17-19 year old guys, recording in the garage. With Mr. T. Jones pissed off as hell.

 

[MopTopMike]

That's not a studio group. Probably a bunch of college aged guys

I was more then happy to get my copy of the single about 9 years ago, not many have turned up on the bay or on the auction lists I get since...

Nah, there's plenty of big shot's hereabouts, but, times being what they were, I no longer count myself amongst them. Hasn't stifled my style, though... If in fact I had any to be stifled in the second place...

How many copies exist? I would sell off bodyparts to get ahold of a copy.

 

[MopTopMike]

I'd say at least 25. Most old time collectors have a copy.

 

[Fuzzy tune]

I think one I've surfaced on Ebay few times ago... I may be wrong though

 

[Sancho Panza]

25? Not that rare .. But still, they are pretty expensive. I suppose ..

 

[MopTopMike]

It's a highly prized 45, like the Human Expression stock copy 45s. Copies turn up, but routinely bring $1000 or more for VG+ or better condition.

 

[MopTopMike]

25 copies is still in the rare category, especially when demand is greater than supply.

 

[Shakesomeaction]

I agree with MTM, still a rare single, the fact that there are 25 or so copies known in this case does not really matter as many people want it, IT IS GREAT !!!
Some of the rarer singles (ie - only one or 2 copies known) are not in a high demand like The Caretakers single...
I payed $825 for my VG+/VG copy 6 years ago.

 

[Sancho Panza]

Not the 45 that may show up on eBay regularly.

 

[Sancho Panza]

Just one more question! Is there two different colors on record or am I going a bit colorblind?
