Jerms?

[Patrick the Lama]

Has anyone heard the Jerms 45 on Shana, produced and released by Shaun Harris (WCPAEB)? Their no-name status indicates they may not be all that hot. I actually recall reading about two Jerms 45s with Harris involvement, but can only find data on one now:



Not At All/Who's (Shana 7195)
1968

I always thought these were the same Jerms that released records like "Nobody" and "Green Door" on Honor Brigade, but feel free to prove me wrong.

I'm assuming all 45s credited to the Jerms (including the great "Since You Went Away") to be the same Kansas group, though I read something about their manager having different line-ups going on tour... like latter day Moby Grape. But I believe it all emanates from the same nucleus, 5-6 45s.

Mr. Llama, good to see your words here again....according to the notes of "Monsters...." vol. 3 & 4, The Jerms band name was owned by their manager who did continue to use it well into the 70's for just about any band who worked for the booking agency he owned, so theres a good chance the 'Since You Went Away' band and the band who recorded the single you're asking about were two totally different groups

I have both sides on a CD-R somewhere. I can't really tell you anything about the hot-or-not-ness since it's been ages since I heard it, but I will try to locate it and post mp3's.
