Papa Cat - Mini Skirt

Papa Cat was certainly William Wirth Colston, a retired employee of General Motors Corp. in Memphis, who died in 1975, 68-year old, Like so many M.E. Ellis' Erwin custom records, date is unknown, probably late sixties or early seventies.

I have only a snippet of the flip  (Wonder Pill) that I hesitate to post.

Brain Blood Volume

 

 


Brain Blood Volume

This is from Julie Felix' second album, "Changes", from 1966 (Fontana Records)

 

Julie Ann Felix (1938–2020) was an American-British folk singer and recording artist,  eager to promote the doctrine of trepanation (see below) and recorded some of the propaganda songs which Joey [Joey Mellen, Amanda Feilding's companion] had composed,

On the subject, see Eccentric Lives & Peculiar Notions, a book by John Mitchell from 1984, reprinted HERE

I quote :

Amanda Feilding lives in a charming flat looking over London's river with her companion, Joey Mellen, and their infant son, Rock. She is a successful painter, and she and Joey have an art gallery in a fashionable street of the King's Road. Another of her talents is for politics. At the last two General Elections she stood for Parliament in Chelsea, more than doubling her vote on the second occasion from 49 to 139. It does not sound much, but the cause for which she stands is unfamiliar and lacks obvious appeal. Feilding and her voters demand that trepanning operations be made freely available on the National Health. Trepanation means cutting a hole in your skull.

The founder of the trepanation movement is a Dutch savant, Dr Bart Hughes. In 1962 he made a discovery which his followers proclaim as the most significant in modern times. One's state and degree of consciousness, he realized, are related to the volume of blood in the brain. According to his theory of evolution, the adoption of an upright stance brought certain benefits to the human race, but it caused the flow of blood through the head to be limited by gravity, thus reducing the range of human consciousness. Certain parts of the brain ceased or reduced their functions while others, particularly those parts relating to speech and reasoning, became emphasized in compensation. One can redress the balance by a number of methods, such as standing on one's head, jumping from a hot bath into a cold one, or the use of drugs; but the wider consciousness thus obtained is only temporary. Bart Hughes shared the common goal of mystics and poets in all ages: he wanted to achieve permanently the higher level of vision, which he associated with an increased volume of blood in the capillaries of the brain.

(...)

Bart Huges's ideas had their best reception among artists and bohemians. Among those impressed was Heathcote Williams, who published a dialogue between Joey and Bart in the literary Transatlantic Review and made a trepanation scene the climax of his award-winning play, AC-DC. An important convert was Julie Felix, a world-famous (in London) American singer in the style of Joan Baez. She was eager to promote the doctrine of trepanation and recorded some of the propaganda songs which Joey [Joey Mellen,Amanda Feilding's companion] had composed, including Brainbloodvolume, The Great Brain Robbery and Sugarlack.read more....

Make A Record, Man

 


 The Markeys
featuring George Morton


Make A Record, Man 

Morton, M.Monaco, J. Monaco
Norma Music Co, Inc. BMI

1958

In 1957 George Morton formed a vocal group with friends Marty Monaco, Tony Giannattasio, Victor Eusepi and Sal DiTroia.  Marty Monaco's mother had a basic recording studio in her basement in nearby Levvitown, where the guys wrote, rehearsed and taped demos of their songs. The owner of a local record store took a liking to the young quintet and helped arrange for them to audition for RCA.

The group made their recording debut with "Hot Rod", released on RCA in the summer of 1958. Later that year, RCA released their second 45, "Make A Record, Man"
