The Saucers
Kick label # KK-100
"Flossie Mae" b/w "Hi-Oom"

RARE & seldom-offered 45 from the "short-lived" 1958 Kick label - eventually becoming Felco label.
One of only a handful of pure doo-wop groups to come out of the Texas area in the late 50's.
Some say that this vocal group is not the same "Saucers" that appear a year later on Felco #104?
 (different lead vocal & personnel) - Anyone out there know for sure?

I never use the "mint" conditions to define a record not still sealed.......
 however this 45 doesn't appear to have been played much at all.

Safely ships in an extra-cushioned standard 45-rpm mailer.
I always combine shipping to save you money.

--------------------------------------

In the summer of 1958, both the VOLK & KICK labels were created by John Sheffield (Volk) & Jimmy Fields (Kick) sharing the same address on 5513 1/2 E.Grand Ave. in Dallas, Texas.  Fields had The Saucers (aka The Velvetones) & Sheffield had a local young latino talent named Trini Lopez, as well as a few other lesser known local groups, i.e. The V-Notes, The Esquires, etc.  Fields was a well known talent agent with alot of history & many ties to the local Dallas/Ft.Worth music scene, while very little is known about Sheffield and/or his "short-lived" Volk label.  Fields went on to form the legendary FELCO label in 1959, with a bevy of local talent, namely Billy Taylor & The Tear Drops, Bobby Crown & The Kapers, Frank Johnson & The Saucers (a different Saucers?), Irvin Russ (of "Crazy Alligator" fame), and a rockin' intrumental group called The Twisters.
 
This 45 - (along with 5 others listed on ebay) were part of an estate sale in Ozona, Texas.  They were all sleeved and nicely stored, and most look as if they barely got played, if at all.  The were quite possibly part of a Dallas-area liquidation sale, or maybe even belonged to a former employee of Kick, Volk, or the Felco labels - although it would be nearly impossible to verify that after all these years.
