Description
David Clayton Thomas (of "Blood , Sweat and Tears " fame) released this rare Canadian 45 on Roman R-1105 in 1966. Songs are "Brain Washed" and arbie-Lee"
He formed The Bossmen in February of '66, where the band went through various incarnations while developing a new jazz-tinged pop sound and building up a loyal following, both in the NY village scene as well as back in Canada at Yorkville. The group included Tommy Collacott on piano, who played with Sarah Vaughan at Carnegie Hall at the age of 14. While the group honed their sound and built a respectable fan base, Thomas was also on the circuit during this period as a solo act. The Bossmen released the '45 "Brainwashed," twice that year, one backed with "Barbie Lee" on Roman Records, then the Tower Records version with "Born With The Blues" as the b-side a few months later. The track was a scathing criticism of American involvement in Vietnam, and climbed to #11 on Canada's RPM chart by that June. But after a disasterous tour of western Canada, Clayton-Thomas left the group. The Bossmen split up shortly after, where drummer Al Morrison and guitarist Bill Ross briefly spent time in The Myna Byrds with Rick James (b. Ricky James Matthews).

Grading is based on the following criteria
Mint = store stock new
Mint- = near new with only one or two small insignificant defects
VG++ = extremely nice. Would be Mint-, except for a couple of light scratches or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still sounds OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
