Subject: My First Recording Experience - 1965

A few weeks ago, I was searching around on eBay and the rest of the Web to see if I could find a copy of the 45 that I recorded with my first band, second incarnation. I had lost my sole copy many, many years ago and was shocked to find two, apparently unplayed, DJ copies. I bought them both and a Stanton USB turntable, and converted them to MP3. The band was called The Last Five and the single was recorded while I was still in high school, in late 1965 on the Wand label at the Scepter-Wand studio in New York, under the direction of Florence Greenberg. Both songs were written and sung by Basil (Bill) Matychak, who went on to form Buffalongo. Members of Buffalongo, minus Bill, eventually formed Orleans and King Harvest, who covered a Buffalongo song, Dancin' In The Moonlight. Here be teh tunes:
