I was very excited to track down a copy of this 45 only find it to be in nearly unplayable condition – if anyone has a nice spare please contact me!
Mustache Wax came from the Bronx, in Riverdale. This was the last of several lineups and band names they used before breaking up after high school. They recorded the 45 in a studio on 42nd St.
Eddie DiBiase came from Queens and was the connection to Inner Records, though I can’t find any other releases on that label. Eddie wrote the top site, “I’m Gonna Get You” published by Luv Music ASCAP.
I also like the flip, “On My Mind” alternately somber and quick, written by guitarist Danny Lane for Philonic Music, BMI.
The 45 was produced by Epstein-Schwartzberg, yet it’s also “A Vitale-Eden Production”.
Anyone have a photo of the group?
Info from David Knopf via Flower Bomb Songs.
I go back to 1960 with David and Danny, who were JHS 141 schoolmates of mine. Our very unique SPE class (together for 7th, 8th, and 9th grades) has been looking for David Knopf for years. I’d love to hear from David, Danny, or Lloyd (also in 141). I actually have a playable copy of the highly sought Mustache Wax 45rpm single. I’m hoping this will lead to a ‘reconnect’ to those guys.
Hey David! I saw your post. Great memory. I know these songs are available as MP3’s, since one of my sons tracked them down and sent them to me.
Hey, Dan. I’m glad you saw my post. I uncovered a treasure trove of old 45’s and came across ‘On My Mind’. I couldn’t remember who the ‘Wax’ was, so I did some research, and lo and behold, it was you guys. I looked on eBay, and saw your single was available for $3000 or something bizarre like that. I had to laugh. You can have mine a lot cheaper 🙂
My 141 class has been looking for Knopf for years. Are you still in touch with him? Where are you living now? I’m in Stamford CT. Hope you’re well.
For $3000 you could probably get the whole band! I just heard from Dave at davidknopf48@gmail.com. He’s still strumming.
I’m not far. I’m in Westchester now.
Keep in touch.
Hey, Dan. Just saw this thread and it blew me away. Richie Winston was my Uncle. As a young kid, I thought it was amazing that you guys had a record. To this day, I love both sides. Mustache Wax will forever be family lore.
