JOHNNY "SCAT" BROWN - Mama Rock / Little Star
Original Australia 7" VINYL single 1958
Catalogue Number:
- Leedon LS 518
Description:
- Original 1958 Australian pressing 7" single in correct Leedon records company sleeve
- Notable among Leedon's early releases were a couple of wild rockabilly singles credited to the mysterious Johnny 'Scat' Brown - Indeed I Do (Leedon 514) and Mama Rock (Leedon 518).
- The flip sides of both records were performed by totally different artists, despite the fact the B-Side of Indeed I Do also listed Johnny 'Scat' Brown as the singer. The performer of Little Star, the flip of Mama Rock was shown as Moon Rockets, another mystery act.
- These singles were preceded by another Leedon single (#008) also billed to Johnny 'Scat' Brown which featured cover versions of current American chart hits, Sheb Wooley's The Purple People Eater and David Seville's Witch Doctor. However aural evidence suggests this first Johnny 'Scat' Brown single release is a completely different artist. Some of these singles were released locally in the face of 'embargo' restrictions placed on them by publishing companies such as Chappell Music. Indeed I Do and Mama Rock had been recorded in the USA, featuring vocals performed by an Elvis Presley-soundalike singer. The singer's identity was unknown to Leedon staff at the time, as the tapes had been sent to them from the USA by Lee Gordon without any recording details. As a result, company manager Alan Heffernan created the pseudonym Johnny 'Scat' Brown.
- According to former Leedon employee Max Moore, Heffernan's cousin discovered decades later (the 70s), that although there was a real Johnny "Scat" Brown performing in the USA, the person who had recorded Indeed I Do and Mama Rock was noted rockabilly artist Johnny Powers.
