Yes, the exact same flip on the Mother issue. I haven't come across anything else by Mr. 'California Cool Breeze', and never really looked too hard either, to be honest.

Nice enough cut, though.

as I've recently acquired a copy of said 7" on Mother records and couldn't find anymore info I've created a Discogs entry https://www.discogs.com/artist/4368876-Jessie-Lee-California-Cool-Breeze-Starks and a Youtube video so maybe we might be able to gather some more info. 

Funnily enough I was thinking to contact you Greg

Found a couple of these in New Orleans many years ago. It's late for me, but I still like it.

Thanks Matt,

I can't actually remember whether I picked it in Nashville or NoLa...
