Hi Malayka

 

Is there anything on the sleeve notes of Kebs compilation? I suspect that you've already checked that.

I believe Walter Grady - who was keen on pulling a few underhand tricks - 'reissued' this a couple of years after The Blenders issue came out, renaming the group so that either it would look like a new release and get airplay or so the band wouldn't know (and I guess they'd want paying if they found out ) You could postulate that If Grady had paid all studio/pressing costs without reaping much back, he maybe felt he owned the music to do with what he wished.

I had some strange dealing with him in the early 2000s - peculiar guy, seemed a bit shaky. Speaking to Roy Roberts recently he fondly recalled that everyone in the Carolinas wanted to kill him!
