The Fabulous Chevelles cut this one record in the spring of 1965. The singer on “I Want a Girl for My Birthday” asks for a girl who “is on the ball” and “on the square”; he’s even willing to let his mother choose the girl for him.

On the flip, “She Loves Me”, he pleads that his girl is faithful, despite reports to the contrary.

Copyright registration from April, 1965 shows James Frederick Brumfiel and Ed Breeden wrote both songs.

I can find both Jim Brumfiel and Ed Breeden listed in the National Road Traveler newspaper of Cambridge City, Indiana, but no mention of the Fabulous Chevelles. Cambridge City is 15 miles west of Richmond, Indiana, and an hour’s drive east of Indianapolis.

It looks like the band released the single on their own Flip Records 45-100 with a terrific cartoon logo.

Edwood Music published the songs, and Edwood Publishing still exists in Cincinnati. BMI’s database lists “I Want a Girl for My Birthday” as by Deacon Brumfield, but I believe that is a mistake, as Deacon was a bluegrass Dobro guitar player and certainly older than the teens who made this record.

I’m not familiar with Parker Records, Dist. of Richmond, Indiana.
