WARREN SCOTT

& the MEMPHIS PLAYBOYS

A RECENTLY DISCOVERED REEL OF ACETATE TAPE FEATURING A NUMBER OF SONGS WAS UNEARTHED AT A FLEA MARKET SOMEWHERE IN THE DEEP SOUTH . A SMALL AMOUNT OF INFORMATION WAS INCLUDED IN THE TAPE  ' S BOX.... THE BOYS RECORDED THIS MATERIAL AT SAM ' S , DOWN IN ROSSVILLE JUNTION , TENNESSEE ...THE DATE IS UNKNOWN , ALTHOUGH SAM JNR REMEMBERS THE BOYS AS FAR BACK AS 1950. IT HAS SINCE BEEN UNCOVERED THAT THE BAND WERE MANAGED BY A ENGLISH GENTLEMAN BY THE NAME OF ARTHUR VINCE ,WHOSE MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME WAS AS A LAWYER FOR FAFFERS & GOLIGHTLY LTD. QUITE WHAT HE KNEW OF THE MUSIC OF THE DAY IS UNKNOWN...MAYBE THIS IS WHY THESE CATS HAVEN'T BEEN UNEARTHED UNTIL NOW
