Witch’s Brew – WB 216 * Vinyl * 7″ * 45rpm * USA * 1977
Recorded by Walter Grady at at the still intact Galaxie III Studios in North Carolina. Grady found several labels like Cobra, Linco or Graytom Records.
“Raised in Dunn, NC, migrated north to New Haven, Connecticut, with his siblings, Walter Grady accompanied his wife back to North Carolina in the early 1960s, proud of her accomplishments as an educator and grateful for her opportunity to teach as Dudley High School in East Greensboro. Walter’s dreams of becoming the next Berry Gordy were far off, but as long as he still had to carry bags to make ends meet to help support his young family, he might as well do it at a the Statler-Hilton — the luxury hotel in Greensboro where he was most likely to run into music business people.
His decades-long forays into the music industry – founding record labels, co-writing songs and producing musical acts – eventually afforded him opportunities to be in the company of star-makers such as Atlantic Records president Jerry Wexler and future founder of Sugar Hill Records, Sylvia Robinson. With the careers of young George Bishop, Roy Roberts and a dozen other aspiring hit-makers in tow, he also would partner with a local radio DJ whose personality and popularity could likely increase the odds of one his proteges’ records breaking locally, regionally and perhaps nationally.
… most of his efforts remain unknown, even to most Greensboro natives.” (Discogs)

Estill Records – BG-565 * Vinyl * 7″ * USA * 1968 or 1969
From the three different labels the a-side was released by (Shadow Records & Phil.L.A. Of Soul Records) this Estill release is the only pressing with that totally different version from “Give A Damn About Your Feller Man” on the flipside… or, most likely: the title of this track is a completely different one and there was simply a mistake in the labeling of the pressing.

Late at night when things go wrong
Skyways smoking, nobodys joking
People coming in old enough to vote
Or rapping in the park way past dark
Along come the mail man
Can’t hear the preacher man
Violence is his teacher man
Chicago, damn
