Tattoo

Tattoo was Wally Bryson, Jeff Hutton (Fayrewether), Dan Klawon, Dave Thomas, and Thom Mooney (previously of Nazz and Paris). They created in LA but had been all originally from Cleveland, OH. Bryson, a genuine person in the Raspberries, relocated 1st to L.A. in 1975 and created Flyer before phoning in Cleveland music artists for the Tattoo task. Motown’s Prodigal label, which required over from your defunct Rare Globe Records, authorized the music group in 1976. Prodigal went from 1974 to 1978 and experienced releases by spirit performers Ronnie McNeir, Shirley Alston, Fox Open fire, Eddie Parker, and boxer-turned-singer Joe Frazier, but shifted its curiosity to rock and roll/folk, i.e., Charlene, Rare Globe, Michael Quatro, Dunn & Rubini, and Delaney Bramlett. Prodigal selected maker Ray Ruffin (not really soul vocalist Jimmy Ruffin’s child), another Clevelander, to take care of the task. Ruffin’s state to popularity was his Period Traxx Creation on Frederick’s “Soft, Contacting Your Name,” a spirit ballad which strike on Akron, OH’s small Heat Records. Electric powered rock wasn’t actually his game however the entities do talk about a Cleveland connection. The causing record Tattoo was a tragedy; Bryson known as it “white sound.” Picture Magazine’s music critic Anastasia Pantsios composed a scathing denouncement peppered with descriptive phrases like “a vinyl fabric atrocity,” and most severe, Motown withdrew any programs for promotion following the review arrived. The tunes, compiled by specific group associates and released by Brentana Music, had been wasted by an awful combine. Prodigal didn’t also bother release a a single in the project. Amazingly, Prodigal provided Tattoo another record however the group dropped and the associates branched off to various other groups. Bryson acquired stints with Fotomaker, the trick, Peter Anxiety, Wally Bryson & the news headlines the Tips, and Sittin’ Ducks.
