Description

Up for sale is a scarce single (45 RPM, 7 inch, vinyl record) featuring a very talented garage and regional rock band from Independence, Missouri.

Artist:  The Classmen

Record Label:  Pearce Record Corporation (16400 East Truman Rd, Independence, Missouri 64050)

Record Number:  5818  (Record is a PROMOTIONAL COPY with white labels.)

Release Year:  1969 (Year is from online discographies; it does not appear on the record)

Side A (No. 5818-A):  "The Things We Did Last Summer" (S. Cahn, J. Styne), Produced by Drew Dimmel [Styne & Cahn Music Co., ASCAP; Time 1:52]

     Wax matrix marks:  "5818 A" and "195", both etched

Side B (No. 5818-B):  "Doin'Me Right" (D. Dimmel), Produced by Drew Dimmel,  [Douglas Andrews Publishing Company, BMI; Time 2:05]

     Wax matrix marks:  "5818 B" and "195", both etched.

The Classmen consisted of: David M. Cowden, Dennis Garner, Doug Dimmel and Drew Dimmel.  [This is per the website of Discogs.  Other websites list other members including the Dimmel brothers' wives Jane and Liz, who sang tenor after Cowden left the group.]  During the 1960s and 1970s were very popular locally in the Kansas City area, but also toured internationally with the USO and opened for such big names as Ike and Tina Turner, The Guess Who, Chicago, and The Mamas and The Papas.  The core of the group were Drew and his younger brother Doug.  Drew Dimmel produced both sides of this single.

"The Things We Did Last Summer" was composed in 1946 by the team of Cahn and Styne.  It has been covered by many famous performers.  The Classmen's version is upbeat with a rock influence.

"Doin' Me Right" was written by either Drew or Doug Dimmel (the credit reads "D. Dimmel") and features impressive bass vocals (by Drew Dimmel) and a soul-like quality.

See above for complete description of condition and for photos.  Sold as is.

Attention US Buyers:  I will ship by USPS Media Mail or by USPS Priority Mail, your choice.  Please note that if you have a Military Mail address (e.g. APO), I must ask that you pick USPS Priority Mail as it is my understanding that USPS Medial Mail is not reliable to Military Mail addresses.

Attention International Buyers:  Unfortunately, it appears that international shipping from the US (via the USPS) has become unreliable, because of the pandemic.  Therefore, I have decided to remove the international shipping option.  You are still welcome to bid on this item, but will need to supply a shipping address in the US.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience.  Thank you for your understanding.
