The Stooges on Epic Records???
Larry Fine Fan:
Great video. I wonder why the drummer wore such a strange looking hat? He looks like he can't see what he's doing. ;D

I reported in Journal #93 that this was listed in Scrapbook as a Stooges record, but in fact was not. This rare version housed at the Stoogeum actually bills the artist as "3 Stooges", not "Three Stooges" as in Hammond's version. But if you look closely, someone at the radio station apparently crossed out "3 Stooges" and wrote "3 SCROOGES" in red below. The yellow-label version of this record which was released to the public also bills the artist as "Three Stooges".
Two other tidbits:
1.Scrapbook says the record was supposedly re-released on Sprint Records but I've never seen that version in 30 years of collecting.
2.Scrapbook erroneously lists the B-side title as "Sinking of the Robert E. Lee"

Hey Gary -- just out of curiosity, what is the actual B-side?
garystooge:
The actual title of the B-side is "Sinkin' the Robert E. Lee"

I know I am way late to the party, but I just found this record listed on eBay. I have messaged the seller about whether this is THE Three Stooges or not. He has not yet responded. The seller has it listed as a Popcorn/R&B record. I think my question about the record has been answered here and it is most certainly NOT THE Three Stooges.
How the artists and Epic Records got away with this in 1960 is strange. I guess in 1960, people were not as quick to sue someone else over such matters. I wonder also just who owned The Three Stooges name at that time. I don't think C3 Productions was even in business yet then. If I were to guess, I would say it was owned by Columbia/Screen Gems at that time and perhaps if they were even aware of this record at the time, may have figured it just wasn't worth suing over.
