Due to popular demand, here’s an pretty rare 60’s comp. on King label, with R&B and surf instros featuring THE VICE-ROYS, THE NU-TRONS, THE TRAMPS, THE WOBBLERS and MICKEY BAKER. Enjoy!
Here are more infos on bands from “Zero to 180’s” site:
The Vice-Roys would record their songs for King in three sessions: c. Nov/Dec 1961 (“Moasin’”); c. September, 1962 (“Seagreen”); and April, 1963 (“The Fox” & “Buzz Bomb”). Worth noting that King would issue a split single in 1963 with “Seagreen” by The Vice-Roys chosen as the flip side for “That Low Down Move” by Hank Ballard & the Midnighters. But, as Discogs notes, “Seagreen” actually began life as an A-side issued on Bethlehem with the title “Seagram’s” – ostensibly a salute to the whiskey brand.
The Nu-Trons would record two sessions for King — the first (“Tension” and “Wild Side”) in May, 1963 (possibly in Cincinnati) and the second (“Malibu Mal” and “Ninth Wave Out” in June, 1963.
The Tramps‘s sole contribution “Maharadja” is the earliest contribution to this various artists compilation (August, 1961), but alas — the recording is leased from another label.
Mickey Baker‘s guitar instrumental classic “Zanzie” was recorded – along with “Gone” – June, 1962 in Paris.
Without a doubt, the song most likely to grab your attention is “The Wobbler” which likely was recorded late (November?) in 1961 by The Wobblers:
