Audio Recording AR-122
1965
According to http://pnwbands.com/floaters.html, the Floaters were Bill Arnold, guitar, Bob McDermid, trumpet, Duffy Nightengale, keyboards, Ronnie Pierce, saxophone and Arthur "Ben" Wise, drums. There is no mention of a female vocalist heard on "Baby, Cut It Out". Who is she ?
The Floaters also recorded a quite rare album on the same label titled "See Blue At The Vault" with the following tracks : Camel Caper - Soul - 2nd Avenue Jerk - Root Beer Float - I Love You Girl - Mount Up - Bossa Nova Baby - What Time Is It // I See Blue - Jerk Right - Mediterranean Go Go - Uptown Walk - Subterranean Go Go - Luigi's Lasagne - Out Of Sight (Audio Recording ARLS-1216). Songs on the album were penned by Bob Deimid (McDermid?) or by Al Sweet, who may have been a Floater for a while.
Ronnie Pierce, a musician since the forties, also owned and operated The Vault, a rocking nightclub replete with go-go dancers, sailors and swingers, from 1962 to 1974. An interview with Ron Pierce can be found here
