You are bidding on WITNESS SO COME WITH ME / I’VE GOT TO GO.

 

 

Saskatoon's Witness Inc. is notable as the band that launched the musical career of future Streetheart vocalist Kenny Shields. The band had an exciting stage show that helped them build a large following and attract the interest of Apex Records. With the strength of their first single, "I'll Forget Her Tomorrow", the band steam rolled across the Western Provinces where they became very successful. However, the follow-up single, "Jezebel", failed to gain a foothold in Ontario. The Eastern seaboard would take three more singles to conquer. Walker and Stewart were added in 1969 while the band was touring Edmonton on the recommendation of legendary producer/musician Wes Dakus. The two new members hit it off well and the group spent two months working on new, original material at which time Craig Kaleal left the band due to intense pressure from his family. With little momentum forward over another two months, Walker quit in frustration and was replaced by Bob Ego's boyhood friend Bruce Degenhart. Stewart left briefly to be replaced by Steve Boddington but soon returned. Then Kenny Shields nearly died in a devastating car accident at the end of 1969 and needed extensive surgery/therapy

 

 

This is their rare final single on Apex 77093 Canadian pressing released in 1968.

 

Normally I don’t use mint description for 45 RPM because you can never be sure that it hasn’t been played at least once.

 

However this is a MINT  COPY  NEVER PLAYED  obtained from a record store unused stock that closed 40 years ago- collector piece

Buyer pays $4.00  to the US or $7.00  overseas by airmail .
