Join me 2/12 at 3-5 PM PST for a special Over Under Sideways Down dedicated to the Hanna Barbera Records label ’65-’67 during LuxuriaMusic.com’s Sponsorship Drive. I will be giving away an original Five Americans “EVOL Not Love” 7″ record with picture sleeve during my show to a lucky sponsor! For two hours, tune in for a stack of fabulous Hanna Barbera 45s which I’ll be playing in chronological release order. Listen here or check the Over Under Sideways Down Podcast Page if you miss the live broadcast.
Hanna Barbera Records, a/k/a HBR was a short-lived division of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon studio active between 1964 and 1967. The label’s all-over-the-map roster included not only records based on their cartoon characters, but a healthy dose of garage rock, soul, psychedelia, country, folk, records licensed from England, the Pacific Northwest, Texas, and artists such as Les Baxter, Louis Prima and Scatman Courthers. Former Buena Vista Records (Disney) mailroom employee Danny Hutton was hired by suggestion of Kim Fowley to HBR’s head A&R person, Larry Goldberg to gauge what was hip with the kids and as a result, Hutton found himself with a career as a vocalist and eventually leader of Three Dog Night. Tom Ayers, who later convinced RCA to sign David Bowie also worked as an A&R person at HBR
Aside from a slew of cartoon oriented LPs and a small stack of LPs aimed at teens, Hanna Barbera Records released well over 70 45s by artists such as The Dimensions, Tidal Waves, The Guilloteens, Five Americans, Chocolate Watch Band (as The Hogs), The New Breed, The W. C. Fields Memorial Electric String Band, The 13th Floor Elevators, The Abbey Tavern Singers, Jean King, Simon Stokes, the afore mentioned Baxeter, Prima and Courthers, and many, many others.

11:00 pm: Howie Pyro
Liars, cheaters, thieves & exploiteers all saw the perfect wallet stuffer in the Fab Four. And early in the game before the names, faces & identities were cemented in stone, the people in hack studios pumping out 20 LPs a day to cash in on any quick fad of the moment for teens had the “three for a dollar” record racks of department stores packed with records by The Bootles, The Bottles, The Bratles, The Liverpools, The Four Fabs, etc etc. loads of 45s were also flying outta small labels by The American Beatles, & songs like The Beatle Bomb & Frankenstein Meets The Beatles were rampant. There were as many anti- Beatle records as faux four records. And there should have been! In the wild, wild, world of Intoxica Radio these records never stopped being released and are way bigger hits than any Beatle record could ever be. Wanna step off a cultural cliff & fall into the inside-out a go go dimension of Howie Pyro’s Intoxica Radio? Then tune in for the LAST hour of LuxuriaMusic’s Beatles Day.
On Oct 2, 3-5 PM Pacific, tune in Over Under Sideways Down on LuxuriaMusic.com for two hours of original Doo Wop 45s with your host Lee Joseph and guest Jay Marshak – on his second annual visit to the show!
