The Villagers “Wishes and Memories” / “Cry On” on Kennett Sound

Villagers Kennett Sound 45 Wishes and MemoriesThe Villagers included Phil Haskins, Rick Haskins and Charles Petit.

They cut their only single in very early 1969 at Kennett Sound Studio, located in a renovated barn just south of the village of Kinderhook, NY.

Phil Haskins wrote the words to the slow, lovely “Wishes and Memories” and co-wrote the music with Rick Haskins (Richard J. Haskins).

Charles R. Petit wrote the more soul-styled “Cry On”, copyright registered February, 1969.

There is no label name, but Kennett Sound appears on other singles by the Cleaners and East Coast Clique, and the 0018 release number is similar to others from that studio, usually four digits starting with 00.

Anyone have a photo of the group?
