Here's the info from my promo copy of that 45 by THE SOUND JUDGMENT
(spelled this way on the 45):
KAPP K-914
HAPPY WITHOUT YOU (Laguna-Pinz) b/w
BABY IT'S YOU (David-Bacharach-Williams)

I can e-mail you a label shot if you'd like.

Great, Denny Reed... which brings to mind a weird story that involved a
Denny Reed concert. The date: 1960. The place: Long Beach, CA. The
situation: a broke teenager, namely me.
A promoter by the name of Bob Price found out about my situation and
offered me a gig. He had a room full of Denny Reed posters for a
concert - I forget where - and my job would be to drive up Central
Ave. into darkest L.A. and talk shopowners into putting these posters
into their windows...and my pay would be...I forget...but it must have
been very little.
But being broke, I still turned it down, too little $$ for too much
work. But the name Denny Reed always brings to mind that room full'a
posters. And I think that since then, Bob Price has become a big shot
music atty.
BTW, it wasn't a complete waste, as Price had a collection of 45s, and
he "loaned" me a rare Bo Diddley, I think it was "Before You Accuse
Me," and it still rests in my collection. Don't tell Bob.
But do say hi to Denny for me.
Steve
