About this product
One of the all-time greatest vocal groups to emerge from New York in the late 1950s, The Dubs formed from the merging of two short-lived vocal groups in Harlem, New York - The Five Wings and The Scale-Tones. The Five Wings, with members Jackie Rue (lead, later of Jackie and the Starlites), Frank Edwards (tenor), Billy Carlisle (second tenor), Melvin Flood (baritone), and Tommy Grate (bass). recorded for King Records in 1955 without much success, and the group began to splinter. Rue, Flood, and Edwards left, Kenny InchButchInch Hamilton joined, and, shortly afterwards, Carlisle's cousin Richard Blandon was in following his discharge from the United States Air Force. Meanwhile, The Scale-Tones had been formed by James InchJakeInch Miller and Thomas Gardner, who had added Cleveland Still (lead), James Montgomery, and Don Archer. They made one record on the Jay-Dee tag in early 1956. After some prompting by Blandon when he showed up at a Scale-Tones' rehearsal, a new group emerged. This included Blandon and Carlisle from the Five Wings, and Still, Miller and Gardner from the Scale-Tones. The Five Wings' manager, Buddy Johnson's brother Hiram, offered to manage the new group. As The Marvels, they recorded an unsuccessful single, InchI Won't Have You Breaking My HeartInch, for ABC-Paramount. The group then renamed themselves The Dubs, and released Blandon's song InchDon't Ask Me To Be LonelyInch on the Johnson tag set up by their manager. Radio acceptance was almost immediate, and the record was picked up for national on George Goldner's Gone tag. It peaked at #72 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the summer of 1957, although like all their other records it surprisingly failed to make the R&B chart. Gardner then left the group to be replaced by Tommy Grate. The group's next single, InchCould This Be MagicInch, also written by Blandon, was another pop hit, rising to #23 l

Howdy punkè rocke fans, welcome to Forced Communal Existence-the wonderful and frightening world of Alien Nosejob's EP's & singles.Anti Fade and Agitated Records are teaming together to bring you a paint stripping, mind altering, rare collection of EP and compilation tracks recorded in various Australian bedrooms and garages between 2017 and 2022. The sound of goofy obnoxiousness will soon be permeating your bedroom airwaves and perforating your eardrums. Kicking off this long player is an EP that was recorded by Billy from Anti Fade in his childhood bedroom in July 2017. The songs came to fruition while Ausmuteants were on tour in Japan 2016. There was a lot of 'Wallaby Beat / Murder Punk' being played in the background while seeing the sites of Mount Fuji and 'Bar F**k Yeah'. In between shows Jake was organising the of Danny Graham and Plastic And The EPs records on the tag he co-ran Xerox Music. Both artists played parts in the sound and ethos of the Panel Beat EP. The goal was to make the songs sound unapologetically Australian without pretending to be something they're not. There's no fake accents or songs about VB and mullets. Instead, there's songs about every day struggles, like dealing with fickle fashion followers, having too many fucking records, playing PlayStation, resentment and manipulation. 500 copies were pressed and self released, with a photo slipped inside each copy at random. Next is The Death Of The Vinyl Boom, which was self recorded in a shed in November 2017. This is the only Alien Nosejob (besides this comp, smartarse) to feature a cover-'Flyblown' by Adelaidean arty weirdo band Jackson Zumdish. The idea behind this EP was to incorporate the simplicity and scrappiness of the late 70's DIY Australian sound, but give them the complicated structures of prog songs. Scum stats-500 copies, self released. Several copies were smeared with Jake's
