Some Years ago Pete S did a Podcast with one of the weirdest cover names I've ever come across the track was by the "Wooden Leg Formation Dance Team" & it was titled "Feel Like I'm On My Way" it was a Reggae sounding dancer has anyone come across any weirder Cover Up titles or names?

Heres a Few more that I do know The Experienced Heartmenders, Jesse Hering & The Tru-Glos, Lord Lucifer, The Moving Parts, Ruby Stackhouse, The Phantom Janitor, James Breezy Poncho & An instrumental by the weird Ones

Guy H covered up Esquires "listen to me" for Yarmouth w/ender radio show as "Flights of Fantasy". And I covered Tony Bruno "How am I gonna make it" as by Vladimir Semmelhack.Strange enough?

Nearly right, Ruby ANDREWS was born Ruby Stackhouse.

Richard (the Searling) used lots of 'real names' for C/U artist names (for instance Phanthom Janitor PLUS Esther Williams  -- for the Cheryl Berdell cut).

I was trying to remember what that was, it was the B side to something which came out on UK Action but I had it on a US label - might have been the B side to Chuck Trois...maybe not

Haha James Breezy Poncho was my idiot one for James Lynn Marsh on Rainbow, felt bad when someone listed the c/u name in the wants section!

Chuck Jackson with a wig on.     Garrett Saunders c/up.

Seem to remember Ted Taylor 'Somebody's Always Trying' originally being covered up as Cookie Jackson.

Fred Scrunge the Megatons c/u

My fave ever is: "Lets Shingaling At The Go Go" by The Johnny Jackson Experience. Old Ian Levine at the Mecca
