Kooltones - Pretenders - Barons

Info provided by Stevie Dunham/Las Vegas - May 2004

AS FAR AS THE KOOLTONES, BARONS, AND PRETENDERS GO. I BELIEVE THEY
ARE ALL THE SAME GROUP. JUST GIVEN DIFFERENT NAMES PROBABLY BY
EDDIE GRIES. ( THIS PRACTICE WAS DONE ON THE TIMES SQUARE ACAPPELLA
ALBUM)

Info provided by Stevie Dunham/Las Vegas - May 2004

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE INFO ON THE DELSTARS. ONE OF THE GUYS IN THE
GROUP WAS THE BROTHER OF A GUY WHO WAS IN THE DELROYS OF "BERMUDA
SHORTS" FAME. I THINK HIS NAME IS RONALD COLEMAN. THEY RECORDED
FOR 4 SIDES FOR MELLOMOOD.

Shadows

Info provided by Stevie Dunham/Las Vegas - May 2004

THE SHADOWS ARE THE 5 JADES WHO HAD AN ALBUM ON RELIC "VELVET SOUL
FOR LOVERS ONLY" I BELIEVE THE 1O COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE CAME OUT ON
'MELLOMOOD' ORIGINALLY. THIS WAS BEFORE THE RELEASE OF THE ALBUM.
THEY WERE FROM THE BRONX.
