The Ruanes on Orlyn

[Laurent Bigot]

Not sure it's been mentioned here but I just noticed this new entry on Discogs

[Al.Burnett1966]

Way cool!!

Looks kind of odd to me . A 33 rpm EP testpress with 1 song each side ? Orlyn font looks off and the label itself looks like it was cut out with scissors . Does anybody have an idea if this is legit ?

There are 4 songs. Here are the sub notes from the owner:

I'm submitting a unique recording. The Artist "The Ruanes" will be added as a new group. Unable to find any information about them. Most of the information in the runouts has been scratched out by a previous owner of the record. I provided what is still legible. Only one track (A2) of the four is identified on the label. Copy in hand.

New Artist: The Ruanes (possibly Chicago area)

Someone whispered that this may have been Mike Ruane's group pre 70 powerpoppers Pezband.
Pezband came from Oak Park from where many teenbeat band resided.
But nothin confirmed of course. Mike was born 1952 so he would have been 14 here - so the age is a problem
with this theory. (With older brothers perhaps?)
