The Vigilantes, otherwise known as...

All of the following records are by the same band (with variations), whose members (including "Jimmy B" Brogan and Lloyd Hugo) came from Houghton, Hancock, L'Anse and Lake Linden; they were the house band at the Copper Drift Lounge in the Hotel Scott in Hancock.

The Vigilantes - RAMBLIN' ON b/w SOMEDAY (SOMEONE WILL COME TO ME) (Cuca 1042). Side A was later re-titled "Travelin' On."

The Vigilantes - HIGHLAND FLING b/w NO NEVER (Cuca 1064). This single may never have been released.

The Vigilantes - WARM WIND b/w CATERPILLAR CRAWL (Hermi 001).

The Playboys - HARLEM NOCTURNE b/w BLUE MOON (Heartbeat 60).

The Lovers - TEMPTATION b/w BLUE TANGO (Sunny 1).

The Pastels - KING OF FOOLS b/w MARY (Limelight 3007).

The Flagmen - DRAG STRIP USA b/w MARY (Limelight 3014).

These two singles apparently shared the same B-side.

The All Nighters - YOU TALK TOO MUCH b/w SUMMERTIME BLUES (GMA 1).

The All Nighters - HEY BABY b/w TALK TO ME (Erie 001).

The All Nighters - GIRL DON'T GO b/w HELLO (Erie 002)

This same band also played backup on these singles:

Jay Johnson - KAREN b/w MARRIED TO SHERRI (USA 749).

Richard Parker - MONKEY ALL OVER b/w WELCOME TO PARADISE (Philips 40133; c. 1965)
