[bomp] Regents Philbin

[ItsBoss9@xxxxxxx]

The "Words/Worryin' Kind" 45 was on Penthouse in America and CBS in the  
UK...The 'Fuzz Acid and Flowers' discography does have a Reprise single 
(0430),  
in 1965: "When I Die, Don't You Cry"/"She's Got Her Own Way Of Lovin'"...so  
'FA&F' is presenting these two singles and some others as all being by the  
same 
Regents. 

As you may know, Fuzz, Acid and Flowers ALWAYS needs to be double and triple 
checked... it's a great source and they have a lot right, but they do explain 
at the intro of their book that this is the best info they have so far (to 
their credit).  

That said, since the song is "Words" I'd just wonder how early this disc was, 
as you know the Leaves recorded "Words" early (probably before the Monkees?) 
and one has to question how far out of town Boyce and Hart were sending their 
demos.  A lot of L.A. bands (or bands in L.A., like the Astronauts) had 
recorded Boyce and Hart songs that the Monkees picked up later, like, didn't the 
Sons of Adam also record Boyce and Hart song early too?  At least this is 
something to consider...

I think it was Tommy Boyce who had a house band at the Sea Witch in 1965 that 
featured Gerry McGhee (later of the Ventures, sp?) on guitar (and that's why 
Gerry ends up on early Monkees recordings).  So Boyce & Hart were definitely 
interacting with bands on the Sunset Strip and getting their songs recorded by 
Garage combos.

The Regents of LIVE AT THE A.M./P.M. and It's Boss house band gig fame, their 
Capitol LP gets sold by some dealers as "Surf".  And, they also supposedly 
appeared on the Dating Game as that show's "house band" in the early days.  Just 
more random info.
