July 12, 200915 yr You Must Wonder Why This Record Was Ever Played In The First Place, Flute Driven Souless Instrumental. What is The History Behind It. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera founded their H & B empire in 1958 , and decided in 1965 to release audio records . They had released childrens records of their cartoon characters before then via Colpix Records , but this was - as they called it - their " real " foray into the music business . With the inception of Hanna Barbera Records , they put out R & B , Garage , Pop , Soul , Folk , and Psychedelia recordings during the two year period from 1965 to 1967 . While there were not many hits getting turned out , many have now became classics in their own right , and are sought after by collectors . From the West Coast Jazz scene , to rural West Virginia and to Las Vegas, HB released music from all over the country . As for The Dynatones ....... The band were from Clarksburgh , West Virginia , and were an instrumental quartet led and formed by , flautist Ray Figlar , whilst he wa at Salem College . The record was first released on Pittsburgh's St. Clair label , and Ray Figlar's flute work owes more than a passing nod to the style Herbie Mann .

Malc Burton Isn't the St Clair release a different take? Strange that though both versions of this are so similar I personally far prefer the HBR version. -Kev
July 13, 200915 yr Isn't the St Clair release a different take? Strange that though both versions of this are so similar I personally far prefer the HBR version. -Kev Strangely enough, the St Clair releases and the HBR STYRENE issues/demos are one and the same cut. The different cut appears on the HBR VINYL release.
July 13, 200915 yr Strangely enough, the St Clair releases and the HBR STYRENE issues/demos are one and the same cut. The different cut appears on the HBR VINYL release. Bugger, I punted my HBR vinyl 45 out when I got a St. Clair... ...Any idea which one's on the Pye International, anyone?
July 13, 200915 yr Bugger, I punted my HBR vinyl 45 out when I got a St. Clair... ...Any idea which one's on the Pye International, anyone? Stick to the St Clair,its the first issue,it's harder to find , and in my opinion it sounds crisper when played nice and loud
July 13, 200915 yr I recently picked up a version of Fife Piper by the Four Sharps (#) on Cameo. After giving it a listen, I knew I recognized it... It was ripped off, rearranged and released as "Breaktime" by Ronnie Rae and the Dynamics on RJR 702. Anyone have any info on the Four Sharps or Ronnie Rae and the Dynamics?
July 13, 200915 yr Bugger, I punted my HBR vinyl 45 out when I got a St. Clair... ...Any idea which one's on the Pye International, anyone? The St Clair cut was issued on Pye International, Tony.
July 16, 200915 yr Author some great info here and many thanks but no answer to my original question as yet thanks kev
July 16, 200915 yr The St Clair cut was issued on Pye International, Tony. Cheers, Gene - don't suppose you know which cut is on the counterfeit HBR 45 that was around in, seemingly, its thousands in the mid 70s?
