Background: 

Al Hazan (Ali Hassan) was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. To history fans of American pop-rock music he is sometimes called the “Mystery Music Man of the 1960s” because of his tendency to use other names for his recording artist performances. For example, he performed as B. Bumble of B. Bumble and the Stingers, playing the lead piano on the classic recording of “Nut Rocker.”  He also performed as a singer and piano player on 18 recordings using other names such as Ali Hassan, Crazy Luke, the Galaxies, Dudley Duncan and Al Anthony. When he was sixteen, he had his first song arranged by Nelson Riddle and recorded on RCA Victor and, before he quit the music business in 1965, he had over 80 of his songs released and performed by hit artists such as Ritchie Valens, James Darren, Wanda Jackson, Terry Melcher, The Bell Sisters, Russell Arms and Johnny Crawford.

As a music producer, Hazan produced over 50 records, released on various labels including Capitol, United Artists, Rendezvouss, Philless, Ava, and Columbias. He worked with Fred Astaire, Sonny Bono, Herb Alpert, Jack Nitzche, Nick Venet, Terry Melcher, Lou Adler, and studio giants Hal Blaine, Carol Kaye, Glen Campbell, Leon Russell, Ray Pullman, Tommy Tedesco and the rest of the first call sessioneers in Los Angeles.

Condition:   EXCELLENT with 100% of original gloss.  Has been played a very small number of times, perhaps once or twice, and handled with care.  A slight scuff (not audible), nothing more.  Fidelity is superb.  You will be hard pressed to find a nicer copy of this rarity. 

Labels are clean except for notations on the plug side in red marker for radio station purposes.  The B-side label is clean.  

Includes the original vintage PHILLES RECORDS factory sleeve in nice condition.

Guaranteed to be original and authentic.  I do not sell bootlegs or modern reissues.
