editBecause hey, this might be useful to someone.
"several years ago I came across the promotional copy of the one album they released. The cover has a frame with the words "this space reserved for the group without a name". At the time the internet was young and I didn't have a computer but wanted to find out more as this record is really great. So...I called first to track through Casablanca Records. Found out that the Casablanca record company no longer existed or had been bought out by another company. I don't remember which. At any rate I called several record companies and finally was given either Hank Medress or else Dave Appell's phone number and called. I have a bad memory and wish I could remember which one. Anyway the one I spoke to told me this story. Dave and Hank and Bette Midler and Katie Sagal and one other person (I don't remember the name) were working as waiters or in some way in a club (in I think it was Los Angeles). They just got up on stage for fun and performed a few songs. An agent for Casablanca was in the audience and liked the performance and took them to New York to Press this record. The Release came out with the blank cover with the empty frame I had, and then it came out with a cover showing the group photo and actual credits for their names etc. From this album there was at least one single derived. It was "Moon Over Brooklyn".Anne Murray recorded it. However the entire album is really great, at least in my opinion. I traded the promo cover to hime for the commercial cover with the credits. Then I lost it somewhere. Today I found another copy with the original promo cover and tried to research it on the web. Found this article and decided to add what sketchy info I had. If either Hank Medress or Dave Appell see this commentary by me and if there are any errors, I hope they will correct them."
Fascinating stuff, but not really encyclopaedic. JustIgnoreMe (talk) 00:56, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Members section
editThe article states (and the album cover seems to support) that Katey Sagal was a member of this group. However, she is not listed under "members". Perhaps someone in the know should address this. Joefromrandb (talk) 14:45, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
