The Norman Brothers - Jaggers Recording Studio Acetate

Very weird this one. I can't find anything about "The Norman Brothers" at all. It's heavy on ukulele and piano. Song 2 on this side is titled "Fused On Tips, Ca't Slip Off" but it's obviously a cover of Monday Monday by the Momas And Popas. Song 4 is called "Number 3 In The Green Book" but it's a version of "Please don't talk about me when I'm gone". I did not record song 1 "I Enjoy Being A Girl" because it skips very badly. The other side starts with "Steam Boat Mickey" but it's about The Robert E Lee.... Song 2 on this side "The Little Bird Who Lost His Way Flying South For The Winter" is a version of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" and is actually pretty cool. Some of the others don't sound familiar to me but i would assume they are all covers??? I know i've heard number 4 on this side but can't place it.... Maybe Elvis???? Number 5 is a ragtime version of Old Time Religion but called "Box 5, Del Rio Texas". It makes no sense to me.... can someone explain this weirdness to me? The only thing i know for sure about this record is that it was cut with HOT STYLUS! Help?!?

The Moods - King Hustler - Hustlin

Great Funky Soul right here! I played King Hustler at my 1st 45 session way back when and have been sitting on it a long long while. Seems like a great time to drop it! From what i can find out these guys were a Philly band that evolved out of the group called "The Volcanos" - The Volcanos recorded several 45's for the Arctic label and later a 45 for the Harthon label. Sometime around 1968, Gene Jones left the group, re-christened himself Gene Faith and started recording for Philadelphia’s Virtue records. The rest of the group reformed as the Moods and recorded at least one 45 for Wand, ‘Rainmaker’ b/w ‘Lady Rain’. Then there is this 45 on Reddog ‘Hustlin’ b/w ‘King Hustler’

Ok here is where I need some help.

There seems to be some kind of a foul up on my copy of this 45 as i have heard the flip "Hustlin" on the web elsewhere and it is just the song King Hustler without the vocals. My Flip says Hustlin on the label but the song is singing about Holding An Aution On Love and has nothing to do with "Hustlin"... WTF? Can anyone confirm what this song is and is it even the same group?
