Von Ruden - Bobby Trend

[Hicksville Hogwash]

Are Von Ruden and Bobby Trend the same person?

I just came home with a copy of - Good Day/Judy by Bobby Trend on Ivanhoe I-504. It was the next release on label after Spider and the Fly . "Judy" seems the same mix/recording as the Von Ruden Ivanhoe I-503.

Pressing mistake? or same person different names - discogs says Alias? anyone know the right answer?

I am quite surprised by this BT 45. Judy has always been a favorite tune of mine,. This BT version sounds exactly the same. Having been a serious collector for over 45 years I can honestly say that I've never come across a copy of this one. Having sold my collection I have no way to compare dead wax numbers etc. Nevertheless congrats to you for finding this one

This is what I picked up:

Bobby Trends real name was Rudolph Von Ruden from Johnny & The Shy Guys who were based out of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. The other song from this 45 also appeared as the flip of Von Ruden's "The Spider and the Fly" single. Good Day also issued on Metromedia Records
