Apparently that wasn't good enuff, but there is now a file in the article, File:Buggs album cover.jpg. It's been there since 2014 and has a fair-use rationale, so I guess its OK. Herostratus (talk) 04:42, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

Personal reminiscence

I'm moving the following post from the body of the article here to the talk page where it belongs: Herostratus (talk) 20:01, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

The information about the songs on the album is correct but the story about the band that recorded the album and where it was done, is not correct. Here is the real story - The band the Buggs never existed. The Album was actually recorded in New York City by a band called the Coachmen V hailing from Bergen County NJ. The producer was Goldie Goldman of NYC. Goldie hired a song writer to create the original tunes on the album. Some of the rehearsing of the band with the song writer took place in Scotty's bar in Nyack NY. I know all this because I was the bass player in the band. My name is Bill Osmolski, Gary Wright (of Dream Weaver fame) was on the organ and did vocals. Frank Zillitto was on guitar and Steve Bogue was on drums. We also had a singer and front man. We used two people at different times for this and it was either Eddie Brick or Jimmy Carrol, I can't remember which. Goldie also hired a studio musician for the recording of the album. He was a superb guitar player and I believe his name was Trade Martin (not sure about that name). All in the band were of course excited about the opportunity to do this recording. Afterwards we waited and waited for news about what was to come next. Gary Wright was the person who maintained contact with our agent in NY. He couldn't get any information or answers. Finally after months went by, Frank Zillitto's friend Pat tells us the album was released and we were like, what? That's when we learned that our recordings were released with a picture of some other people who had nothing to do with the record under the phony name of the Buggs! This led to new round of phone calls to determine what was going on. We never could find out anything. We never got paid a cent for anything nor could we ever learn how many records were sold. You can verify this by asking [redacted] who is easy to find as he is the owner of [redacted]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.118.181.24 (talk • contribs)

Three-legged stool

There are three refs for the Andy Anderson single. None of them are very good as none have independent fact-checking departments, but taken together as a trio it's a horse of a different color. When you have two or more refs, giving the same info, clearly not copying from each other, and apparently with the material in front of them, it is quite likely that the info is true -- likely enough for our purposes, I would say.

A doctrinaire and inflexible editor tied to the wording rather than the intention of the rule may disagree, and we can talk.

Here we have three sources. However, some of the material may be from only one of the sources. It's doubtful that all three have the source material in front of them, so... it could be argued that they're not good enough to be included in the three-legged stool.

We can say with confidence that the record did exist -- for one thing, we have a photo of the cover. I believe that we can say with confidence that Andy Anderson was behind it, all three sources say that. The record label and record number. What else, one would have to check the sources against each other I guess. (The article is marked to request better refs (although it is very unlikely that such refs will ever be found) so a "better ref" tag could be assumed to be attached.
