roast duck
please don't go (w/ soulettes)
people funny boy
mother in law
run for cover (with Sensations)
run rudie run (w/ gaylads) ( i used to have that one, does any one have it ? it got stolen)
i am the upsetter
wup wup man
woodman
by saint peter
pussy galore
wind up doll (w/ sensations)

[rosko]

Wind up doll - going to go put it on now!

[lankou2]

indeed ! i love all those silly lyrics -and shrieky female backing vocals ! - he used to write before he went post-ultra-galactic and beyond...there are some of his 80's tune on Island that i also enjoy for similar reasons, but the music doesn't kick as much ass (he knows a lot about asses, anyway!)

"Mother In Law" every time! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGG

The guy was obviously a tad eccentric, even back in 64.

[zapatoo]

Are we talking about Shenley Duffus' "Mother-In-Law" from 1964 - bit early for a Scratch production, wasn't it?

If so, then great, I'll update my database - if not then who produced it?

Thanks

BTW - for those who don't know, this "Mother-in-Law" is nowhere near the same as Ernie K. Doe's tune of the same name from 1961.

[skanick]

Perry cut "Mother In Law" for Dodd as well as Shenley Duffus.
Perry did not produce it, Just sing and shout pon it!!


"The Woodman" is a great track too!!

[zapatoo]

Agreed about the "Woodman" ;D , Nick (apparently, they're an untrustworthy lot, with all their wood !!)

[nz.mikey]

High Ranking Sammy!

"Go deh Sammy , go deh an nah feel no way!"
