Rare 1966 Garage Rock 45 MOTT'S MEN Comin' Or Goin' She is So Mean Loren Records
- This is a rare 45 from Vermont. The following is from Bolt24 Hot Sounds on YouTube: Can't-get-it-outta-my-head tune right now. Great Chuck Berry cop here from guys who were the kings of the Gracie's Inn restaurant Lyndonville (check image). Only record. From New Jersey originally but the lads went up to VT for education. The band's Winfield "Winnie" Thomas makes guitar amps these days. Winnie Thomas, Phill Marder, George Saliola, Dom Melchiore.
- Loren Records, St. Johnsbury, Vermont, No.1005
- Comin' Or Goin' (Marder and Saliola) 2:18, She Is So Mean (Marder and Saliola) 2:50
- This record comes in its original sleeve with the original retail tag as shown. The tag indicates a slightly different name for the side B number: "She's So Mean" instead of She Is So Mean. The name Loren Phelps appears in the upper left corner and the record sold for 97 cents.
- From Loren Phelps obituary (1942-2021): Phelps grew up in St. Johnsbury and graduated from the St. Johnsbury Academy with the Class of 1960. At the age of 18, he started his music business that quickly grew to employ more than 65 people. With a fleet of 17 trucks, his business sold and delivered vinyl albums, cassettes, and eight track tapes to more than 1,000 grocery, drug, and hardware stores in New England, New York, and Pennsylvania. During his lifetime, Loren Phelps owned more than 30 music, retail, and jewelry stores all of which employed more than 3,500 people. He also managed his own record label, Loren Records, that created several Francis Colburn humor records as well as other recordings. His shops used trade names such as Dana Jewelry, The Music Shop, Bellows and Baldwin, Movie World, Value World, Trends, Sullivan’s, Piccolo’s, and Brick Block. A musician himself, Phelps managed two 18-piece big bands and a brass quintet in St. Johnsbury. The bands played through a wide swath of Vermont and New Hampshire and once played a benefit concert with Bob Hope. Phelps was a member of the Dartmouth Symphony and for many years was a trumpet soloist at local churches.
- This record is not play tested, and I can see light scratches on side A from the tag stored in the sleeve on that side up against the record for many years. Side B is better. Please see the pictures for more details. I expect there to be normal surface noise and possible skips. This record is sold as-is.
