Surprise, surprise - idle chatter about TBM

I finally got a copy of the Beggars Opera Co 45 on Tower. Possibly the rarest US major label 45. Not listed in TBM that I could find. My rating 6.5/4.5

Great find - could never confirm this was released. That leaves the Madhatters 2nd 45 on Ascot to be the rarest major label garage 45, if it ever made it to a pressing. I think Jim A. has it on an acetate.
 
This gotta be mislabeled in the rating list: unless it's a different Zoo.

zoo - black blues

This one is a slower instro.

The vocal is actually "Feeling". I don't have a copy with a sticker over title, but I've seen many that had a sticker and "feeling" written on it.
 
Unless it's already been corrected. The Cali group Missing Links who did "They Say You Lie/ You've Got Your Rosies On" 45 IS the same as the "I Cried Goodbye" lot.
I've been FB pal with band honcho Danny de Lacy for years but it didn't occour to me to ask him until a few mins ago...
Plus Mickey Dolenz WAS in this band, for a while at least.

Mikael, ask him if you can about the One single on Deville from 1964. He is credited as a co writer on both sides of the 45.
There is an ad in Billboard or Cashbox promoting the group as "Australian!
 
Please also ask if they filmed a segment for McHale’s Navy. I have an issue of LA music newspaper Rhythm ‘N News from 1965 that reported a Missing Links band did. Other issues of that paper also reported they were from Australia!

He was born in Australia and did music there, moved to LA, formed bands (Missing Links among them) and then he moved back.
The Deville single was made before he moved to LA.

Must've been very brief, he isn't on any of the recordings released or in the three pix I have of the band...

That's them.

Danny:
"Yes we were on set n I had a long talk with Ernest Borgnine. He appeared in Australian movie summer of the seventeenth doll. Walter Winchell wrote us up. N they used my Australian background as a lead. We visited a lot of shows on the sets n made a lot of good friends."

Edited info: The Deville single WAS recorded in the US. Plus here is the deal with Mickey D: they backed him on a Colorado tour, so to say he was a member is stretching it a bit... You were right. They were Micky and the One-Nighters then.
 
Tracking bands in 2024: You can find the songwriter and the singer of a band and the infos probably gonna be questionable, even though they're "certain", "that's a fact".
We're talking to people in their mid to late 70's now, or even 80's now. I keep forgetting this myself.
Tracking bands in the "olde dayz": When I started to pestering ex-members of 60s teenbeat bands twentyfive years ago they were ten
years younger than I am now. The info was somewhat fresh, minds were clearer.
I'm just giving you the heads up for you info seeking hounds out there.
