Release Information
Licensed courtesy of Frank Bendinelli and released on Vinyl for the first time and mastered from the original master tapes.
According to Frank Bendinelli there isn’t too much info on this elusive group as they were a studio session group who did work for him and Leroy Lovett on occasion.
From memory Frank recalls Phil Hurtt took the lead vocals on “Pretty One” as a co-writer of the tracks. Fred Andrew Smith took lead vocals on “Hearsay”. They also went under the names of The Swinging Phillies (Deluxe Records), The Mohawks (Val-ue and Mutual Records) and supposedly the Rockmasters as they were credited on a CD compilation, but not the Romulus or One-derful outfits. There were various members of the band on each which seemed to change often according to Frank.
Both “Pretty one” & “Hearsay” were recorded Recorded on February 27th, 1965 at Sound Plus Studios in Philly. Frank Bendinelli and Leroy Lovett formed B&L Productions in 1962 after they met on Broad Street in Philadelphia PA. They soon formed Ben-Lee Publishing and the Labels Benn-X and Sonata Records. Leroy a jazz pianist, arranger and composer and Frank a song writer and producer. They were involved in a string of releases with artists such as Patti & The Emblems, The Inspirations and The Intruders to name a few. – Soul Direction
