Northern Soul Connections #33 - The lnvaders / E.Lampkins
Figuring out the participants of, and then 'attaching' them to, Earth Record Co F/W 18740 A-B has been a tricky business!
The result has mainly fallen to investigating a mash-up of USA geography, people time & place, and combining it with some intuitive wild ass guesswork.
There was a number of differing Louisiana 'Invaders' (plus at least 15 "Invaders" bands on 45Cat.com) around at the time including a five member 9th graders rock group, aged 14 to 15 yrs old that i've rejected as candidates. Whether The Invaders individually named below came out of the Bethany Baptist Church Invaders is hard to say. So as much as it makes sense to me, the findings are inconclusive as to whether those written about (here) are the participants on 'Music Turn Me Loose /The Theme'.
