She's Loving Me

JM Records 217 W, 3rd St. Scottsdale, AZ, was owned by Jerry Malouf, who's family was in the construction/real estate business. Malouf, known for his wild parties where the "In Crowd" would meet, hired Ray Lindstrom (Zoom Records - Tucson) to produce the session at Audio Recorders in late 1966. Tim Ramsey was the engineer. Lindstrom does not remember Malouf even being at the session. Musician Ken Walker told a "local scribe" some years ago that the music was actually performed by The Shi-Reeves, that included himself and Bob Narloch, both of whom would morph into Kennelmus a few years later. Lindstrom could only remember that there was a band in the studio, not that it was The Shi-Reeves. Walker also stated at the time that The Possums were "...a four member vocal quartet...there's nine guys in the studio and only four of them are Possums." Lead singer Michael Hubbard also wrote both of the songs that Lindstrom's Burtray Music published. There are three complete takes of "She's Loving Me" and two of "King In His World" listed on the tape box that also spelled the name; "The Possoms" The record was pressed (500) at Wakefield Manufacturing in Phoenix, in February of 1967, House # sjw 9086.
