NEAL SCOTT: GO BOHEMIAN / Oh Genie
Clown Records CL-3011 (USA, 1959/60)
Possibly a private/vanity pressing of Neal Bogatz's with the A-side credited to "Neal Scott & The Fortunes". Track details: A1. (2:29) - A. Bogatz / Neal Scott; B1. (2:30) - A. Bogatz / Neal Scott. Click on song titles for a 30 second MP3 sample of each song. Apart from the rarity factor for this single it is amusing, from the KISS perspective, that Neal Scott's first release was on "Clown" records...

Neal was born on Feb 3, 1941 in Kings, Brooklyn, the son of Al and Ruth Bogarz. Al had later involvement in Neil's Casablanca Records inspiring the writing of "Cindy" a "love story / concept and story for a musical by Donna Summer, Joyce Bogart (Neil's wife), and Susan Munao" in 1978...

NEIL SCOTT: NASHVILLE LADY / Funny Familiar Forgotten Feelings
Bold 442 (USA, 196?)
While the artist name is Neil Scott, this single was not recorded by the "Neil Scott" who would become Neil Bogart. It's included here because it's one of the few singles released by an artist sharing the late-Casablanca Records boss' name, and so that collectors don't confuse it with those singles really recorded by him...


MARK STEVENS & THE CHARMERS: COME BACK TO MY HEART / Magic Rose
Allison Records SAJ-921 (USA, 1962/3)
Allison Records SAJ-921 (USA, 2000 Yellow Vinyl Reissue)
Mark Stevens later became Mark Stein of Vanilla Fudge fame. This is Neil's first known production credit, attributed to "ALCOT," or Al Greiner & Neil Scott. This single was reissued as a yellow vinyl EP with "Come Back To My Heart" and "Magic Rose" on side one and "Danny Boy" and "Portrait Of Love" on the flip...


NEIL SCOTT: TOMBOY / Run To Me
Comet/Ember C-2151 (USA, 1962)
produced by J. Brandon and S. Wiener; Arranged and conducted by Clark McClellan. Neil Bogarz's followup to "Bobby" which failed to chart. Track details: A1. (1:50) - Brandon/Wiener; B1. (2:30) - Brandon/Lockyer /Gregory/Jordon; I have yet to see a regular release version of this single, though have seen a couple of label variations (shown above).

NEIL SCOTT/WAYNE ROBERTS: ONE PIECE BATHING SUIT / Little Girl
Herald H-581 (USA, 1963)
20th Century Fox 45-644 (USA, Unknown Year)

The full title of the A-side is "Chantilly, Silly Sort Of Daffy, As A Dilly, Little Fussy, Little Frilly, Little) One-Piece Bathing Suit" and is as bad as the song suggests. Track details: A1. (2:25) - Brandon/Wiener; B1. (2:34) - Brandon/Wiener. There are copies of this single in promotional format with "One-Piece Bathing Suit" on both sides as well as versions with both songs on either side. The single was released in late May 1963 and did chart in some regional markets (Toronto). This single was released twice, on two different labels, credited to Neil Scott and then Wayne Roberts...
