Do you know any more about this "old man Feezle"? I've managed to find the
live import spanish 7" of the session you're referring to, but it was in
terrible condition.. I've heard that Old man Feezle's son inherited his
records after he passed away, but he was forced to give them to "Joey Jo Jo
Junior Shabadu", a loan shark to whom his father owed money.. Shabadu owned
a record store in New York city, which was actually a front for drug
dealings and other shady business, and supposedly the records are somewhere
in the basement of the store, having never been touched. If anyone has any
information about how I can contact the Shabadu family, please let me know.
Thanks,
Adam
