The Wanderers cut this great version of Fats Domino’s 1958 hit, “Sick and Tired”, with catchy lead guitar throughout. The flip is a good version of “There Is Something on Your Mind”.
Tri City Records released this as Tri 5452. The code ZTSB 125453 refers to a custom pressing at Columbia’s Nashville plant, probably in early 1966.
I doubt I will discover who was in the Wanderers, as both sides are versions of r&b hits so there is no song writing credit to trace.
It does seem possible these Wanderers are the same group on a yellow-label 45 pressed by World Wide Records in Nashville, and produced by Tri-City Records, No. 3269. One side has Kenneth Castlemen’s great take on “Match Box”, the other James Stafford with the Wanderers doing “Changing My Mind “.
These artists are supposed to be from Jackson, Tennessee, about 2 hours drive west of Nashville.
World Wide Records is mentioned in Billboard as starting in 1966 and having Carlene Westcott Whaley as sales manager, prior to her starting Consolidated Record Enterprises. World Wide had a studio at 5819 Old Harding Rd in Nashville and seemed to specialize in white gospel records.
ZTSB numbers in the deadwax indicate the record was mastered at Columbia’s Owen Bradley Studios in Nashville. It could be plated, stampers made, and pressed elsewhere, or at a Columbia Records plant (at the time there was Pitman, New Jersey, Terre Haute, Indiana, or Santa Maria, California which Columbia Records pressed records at)
