Lost Music of the Bronx

I know. There's no band listed on the label, but believe me, this is the actual 45 of The Stowaways' single Set for Life/Tonight's Ride (or vice versa). Either recorded or just pressed at Tower Sound Studio Inc. at 1697 Broadway, New York, NY (about which I can find no info on the internets) in 1966, the songs of The Stowaways (which you've probably never heard unless you ate a lot of pizza in Castle Hill in the mid-60s) owe much to a timely love of the British Invasion. Lead singer Carlo Beneducci (I'll need to verify the spelling -- buy the book "Once a Kid" after it's been proofread) who, by Ralph's account, could hardly speak a word of English, does a heck of a British accent.

Back to Ralph (remember Ralph? This is a blog about Ralph): He can clearly be heard in the background vocals, and on his Hofner bass, on this lost classic of very local, very Bronx rock n' roll... "Set for Life"!
