BUFF ALSO PLAYS THE ORGAN - 1961 - ROSIE AND RON - BRING ME HAPPINESS - PRODUCED AND RECORDED BY PAUL BUFF - PAUL BUFF WAS THE OWNER OF PAL STUDIOS IN CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA - FRANK WORKED THERE AS SOUND ENGINEER, PRODUCER, MUSICIAN, , UNTIL AFTER PURCHASING IT AND RENAMING IT STUDIO Z, DETECTIVE WILLIS AND THE LOCAL CUCAMONGA HEAT BUSTED FRANK FOR PRODUCING A PORNOGRAPHIC AUDIO TAPE - - BUT DON'T WORRY, YEZ DON'T HAVE TO STICK IN YOUR EAR PLUGS FOR FEAR OF ETERNAL DAMNATION IN THE LAKE OF FIRE AS PUNISHMENT FOR LISTENING TO THIS RECORD, AS THE SONG "QUEEN OF MY HEART" IS SOME REALLY GOOD DOO-WOP AND "BRING ME HAPPINESS" IS ABOUT A COUPLE WANTING HAPPINESS. OK, OK, WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT COUPLE WAS MARRIED OR WHAT KIND OF HAPPINESS THEY WANTED, AND AS WE ALL KNOW THERE'S SOME HAPPINESS THAT IS FROWNED UPON, BUT HEY, I'M REV.A.WEST AND I'LL PUT IN A GOOD WORD TO J.C. ABOUT YO' BEHIND. SO GO AHEAD AND BUY THIS SINGLE - EAST SIDE STORY LABEL - ESS 1001 A/B - CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS - OK LARRY? 

THE SONG "QUEEN OF MY HEART" WAS TAKEN FROM VOL. 9 OF "EAST SIDE STORY" AND "BRING ME HAPPINESS" WAS WAS FROM VOL. 7. EAST SIDE STORY HAD BEEN A SERIES OF REISSUE ALBUMS. THIS SINGLE WITH BOTH OF THE SONGS COINCIDENTALLY RELATING TO PAUL BUFF, PAL STUDIOS AND FRANK ZAPPA IS PRETTY RARE.

I DON'T NORMALLY QUOTE OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY REGARDING RECORDS OR ANYTHING ELSE. HOWEVER, HERE IS WHAT GREG RUSSO HAS TO SAY ABOUT THESE RECORDINGS. BESIDES, HE WON'T MIND SINCE I HELPED HIM OUT WITH HIS ZAPPA BOOK.

Rene & Ray were Pablo "Rene" Valenzuela (of The Velveteens) and Ray "Spider Ray" Quiñones.

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.5" liner notes by Greg Russo:
Paul Buff co-wrote Rene & Ray’s “Queen Of My Heart,” considered a vocal classic of the period (1962). Rene & Ray were Pablo "Rene" Valenzuela (of The Velveteens) and Ray "Spider Ray" Quiñones. Contrary to the Rosie And Ron billing, Rosie Hamlin and Ron Holden did not record the single “So Dearly.” Lucy Duran and Ray Quiñones respectively imitated Hamlin and Holden on this January 1961 recording with The Velveteens backing them. Both records were licensed to the Donna label, with “Queen Of My Heart” doing extremely well in California and selling moderately throughout the country."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.12" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Rosie And Ron's "Bring Me Happiness" featured The Velveteens as the uncredited backing band, and was the flipside of their single "So Dearly."

BOTH OF THE SIDES PLAY NICE. VISUALLY WHEN I MOVED BOTH SIDES AROUND UNDER A 100 WATT LIGHT BULB THERE'S A FEW SMALL SCUFFS TYPE OF MARKS ON THE QUEEN OF MY HEART SIDE, NOT MUCH EXCEPT MICROSCOPIC TYPE OF SCUFFS ON THE "BRING ME HAPPINESS" SIDE. SEE THE PHOTOS FOR LABEL CONDITIONS. THE RECORD COMES IN A HIGH QUALITY TYPE OF COLLECTOR'S SLEEVE. BUT WAIT...., THERE'S MORE., BECAUSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WEEZE TIGHT, I'M GONNA GIVE YEZ A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE ABSOLUTELY FREE.
