Derringer – I Luv Myself/ Detroit Boogie –Burr Records D 1-A (US 1973?)
Another mystery combo. The only provenance I can work out was that the band was probably from Lansford PA as the Burr label as an outlet for local pastor Raymond Burr who also released the Starfyres Captain Dueseldorph / No Room For Your Love single back in 1967. These are the only two releases on the Burr label as far as I can see, but I am not sure if there is any other link with the Starfyres. I Luv Myself is a pretty good hard rock number, solid but not overly wild in its delivery. I assume the date is around 72/74 judging from the Johnny Winter-like guitar effects with a bit of Alice Cooper thrown in. The B side is lazy insofar as they didn’t seem to have been bothered adding any lyrics and it goes on (and on) for 5:42…

Surely this would be Rick Derringer who was playing with the Johnny Winter Band at this time. He released his All American Boy album in '73, so you'd imagine this might pre-date his major label release.
No it's a small PA band...If it is I would eat my socks
If i can persuade Rick Derringer to go along with my cunning plan and lie to you that this is indeed his band, would you then be willing to eat those socks of yours onstage at one of his gigs? Schedules permitting of course.

Rick Derringer? The same guy who was in "The McCoys"? The same 'All American Boy' who put out "Rock And Roll Hoochie Koo"... 'that guy? It sounds plausible... BUT! Why isn't this on any of his albums? It was certainly good enough to put it on a 45. So why not one of his compilation albums? It's a killer song.

BTW, anyone who wants to sell their copy can call on me in Discogs under the name of "ferevervinyl". I'll pay good money for a good copy. Don't delay, sell it today.
