WES DAKUS' REBELS

KAPP RECORDS 1967                                       KL-1536

Wes Dakus and The Rebels

Wes Dakus & The Club 93 Rebels formed in 1958. In 1960 

they were signed with Quality Records, and released their 

first album in the same year titled El Ringo. They toured 

with such artists as Buddy Knox.

In 1965 The Wes Dakus Album - With The Rebels was released 

and helped the band create several singles. In 1967 their 

album was issued on KAPP as "Wes Dakus's Rebels". In Canada 

the album was split into singles. RPM Magazine voted the band 

"Top Instrumental Group" in 1964 and 1965. The 1968 single 

"New Sound Of Wes Dakus" had no band involvement whatsoever 

and was a group of session musicians from Gary Paxton Studios 

who had recorded demos. Wes licensed two instrumental tracks 

from his Paxton sessions to complete his Capitol contract.

DAVE "BABY" CORTEZ DAVE "BABY" CORTEZ AND HIS HAPPY ORGAN

CLOCK RECORDS 1961                                             MG 60647-C

The Happy Organ
The song originally featured lyrics and was intended
to be sung accompanied by a piano and an organ.
Cortez recorded a vocal for it but was unhappy with
the result. He spotted an organ (a Hammond B3) in the
studio and decided to play the song's melody on it.
He also brought in legendary studio drummer,
Gary Hammond, to provide percussion. The guitar solo
is by session musician Wild Jimmy Spruill. Hearing an
organ on a rock or R&B song at the time was unusual,
but Cortez helped popularize its use outside of the jazz field.

tracks list:

A1 The Happy Organ 2:02
A2 It's A Sin To Tell A Lie 2:26
A3 Mardi Gras 2:28
A4 Deep In The Heart Of Texas 2:20
A5 Catnip 2:28
A6 Red Sails In The Sunset 3:20
B1 Tootsie 2:18
B2 Piano Shuffle 2:02
B3 Hurricane 2:22
B4 The Boogie Organ 2:03
B5 The Whistling Organ 2:01
