MISC NOTES:

Novelty song by THE GAS COMPANY

According to guitarist/vocalist Ned Nelter, Paul Bernsen, the owner of Moses Lake's Debutone record label - named for his daughter Debby -  wanted  a political  novelty song pertaining to the 1968 U.S. presidential election in which Hubert Humphrey (D) was running against Richard Nixon (R). As as result Neltner's group, The Gas Company,  came up with this  tune referring to Mr. Humphrey.

MISC NOTES: These discs were recorded and issued as an accompaniment to the hardbound book The North American Waterfowler by Paul S. Bernsen (owner of Debutone Records). At some point during 1972 the Debutone labeled discs accompanying the books were replaced by discs on the FIELD & STREAM BOOK CLUB label. These labels feature the wording "Mfg. In Canada." This does not mean Field & Stream was a Canadian label. During the early 1970s, because of the favorable monetary exchange rate, many Northwest  records were pressed by Imperial Record Corp. located in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. "Some First Edition books were printed with the fronts piece notation: Five - hundred copies of this limited edition have been printed,  of which this is number: 264." (Number rubber stamped). Other copies noted as "First Edition" printed without preceding numbering information. Although Debutone Records was based in Moses Lake, WA, the duck call labels featured Harry Dye's Seattle business address..
