Information Wanted: ADAM AND THE EVILS

[mikael]

I’m not sure if Bob has. Can someone provide me with a contact name/email for Funkadelphia that I could pass along to him??

Dave Brown. He put out Crude PA (including liner notes) and a whole lotta other crucial records.
But since you mentioned "Dave Negative FX" some of you should have the contact info.​

Ok thanks. If Dave Brown = Dave negativeFX, they are in contact with each other (never knew Dave’s last name). Thanks!

I have the acetate but mine has a label affixed to the audiodisc. I contacted Birdman to let him know. The credit is by the GROOP. Title is "Don't Wait". Perhaps their name changed afterward? Dave B. contacted me when he found the Nomads "Point Five" acetate in the early '90s and said he found a member. According to my notes I dug out, the guy mentoned a few other groups he knew of at that time, one being the Groop and that they recorded a few songs.

ASSURED BY LICENSOR ; DRUMMER WAYNE SAKEWICZ, ( CANDID, CO-OPERATIVE, OF CRISP INTELLECT AND SOUND MIND ), THOUGH IT DOES NOT COMPORT WITH "GROOP THEORY", WAYNE ASSURES US THAT THEY WERE NEVER CALLED [ The GROOP ], AND ALWAYS CALLED [ ADaM & The EViLs ]... HE WAS IN THE BAND FROM ITS INCEPTION TO THE VERY END, B.T.W. SO WE WENT WITH THAT, BECAUSE HE SEEMED TO BE A MAN OF HIS WORD. HE ALSO VERIFIED THAT THE OTHER, SCRIBBLED ON ACETATE WE USED FOR TRANSFERS WAS THE VERY COPY THAT ONCE BELONGED TO HIM. AFTER A & E'S BROKE UP, LATE '66, HE JOINED THE THE ONE WAY STREET BAND, WITH GARY BENNETT, LEAD GUITAR. THEN JOINED THE ARMY IN JUNE 1967
HE RE-VERIFIED THIS, , WHEN ASKED TO, JUST FOR YOU, MIKE. RESPECT ! -BIRDMAN@

Embarrassingly, I am one of the few here that does do social media (much respect to those that do not).

Wish I had something more informative to contribute, but thought I'd provide a screen capture of something that appeared.

Why crossing the writing credits?

I noticed that too. After searching the internet a little more, it appears that the A-side provides a song writing credit, but the B-side is marked out (this is also shown on the bandcamp page as well). Unsure why though.

I see, possibly printing error I guess

The writer credit as printed on the label was not correct. It was "Assumed" and printed as such. The correct credit is Ayers for "Point Five". The same guy who was int he Nomads, and then the One Way Street Band (Romain label 45).

Crude PA names the whole band (Nomads) as composers of "Point Five". "I Need Your Energy" is credited to (Richard Scott) Ayers tho'.

Good to have that sorted out.
Hmmm, did the A&E record that first then?

No.
The Nomads acetate was first.
Copyright was secured for the recordings done by the One Way Street Band.

... Speaking for MOJO-BONE Rekkids. we did not " assume " that Mr Brazas, wrote "Point five", we were informed of such, erroneously, as we spread the word far and wide, that we sought information regarding these recordings.. Brazas credit was redacted when we learned of our mistake, too late to reprint the labels, already at pressing plant.
Respect to mr Ayers, the assertion that he is the actual songwriter, was subsequently mentioned in our band bio-history, on our folder jacket, shipped with every copy. It is a unique and beautiful composition.
copyright data was un-avaiable to us, and everyone else, for the period of this production, as the library of congress web-site was closed, due to government shutdown, at that time. Please copyright your songs !
