The Incrowd came from Hillsboro, Ohio, close to 60 miles east of Cincinnati. Members were:
Larry Zuggs – vocals
Randy Applegate – guitar
Paul “Bud” Long – guitar
Charles Murphy – organ
Mike Waddell – bass
Jay Cooper – drums
Circa 1965 they traveled to Dayton’s Mega Sound Studio (distinct from Mega-City Studio) to record their only single, featuring an intensely wrought soul ballad “Keep It” on the A-side. On the flip is the frantic and distorted “Set Me Free”. Both songs were supposedly written at the recording session!
Instead of release on Mega Sound’s standard Prism label, they were given the plain b&w Prism package plan for their pressing of 500 copies. Other bands on this 3000 custom series included the Senators and the Warbucks.
Anyone have a photo of the band?
Info from Buckeye Beat, with help from Matthew Baker in distinguishing Mega Sound and Mega-City studios.
Hey Chris, The record was recorded at Mega SOUND studio which had the house labels Prism, Appro and Gospel Gems. Mega City Recording was a different studio in Dayton that had the House label Pixie, Top Tennessee ect. It is confusing, but two separate studio’s.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the correction, I’ll change the post above to reflect this info.
