The drummer of the band is my Biology teacher and he told us about his old band and I had to check it out! Pretty Awesome!

Hey, great article! Wayne Joplin is actually my grandpa. They were Blackburn College students (in Carlinville Il) not Illinois College!

Dick Leighninger,
Hello. Just wondering if the german copies had Shadok on the labels, as the copy I just found does not. Also the liner notes on the back cover were sideways not vertical and printed in blue. Label reads Director Records . Custom Label. THE MYSTERY MEAT & PROFILES. HIGH FIDELITY. Side 1 – Stereo. DR – 7303. W4RS – 3706. 33 1/3 LONG PLAY. Manufactured by RCA Victor Custom Record Department. Dead wax #W4RS – 3706 – 1, side 1. Dead wax #W4RS – 3707- 1. side 2.
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for letting us know, Dick. It’s important to know what you’re getting into with reissues as there are companies like Fallout out there blatantly stealing and selling others’ music. Great job on the vocals by the way, love the record!

Brended: I was the vocalist on “Profiles”, and can assure you that the repress and distribution through Shadok Records (Germany) was legit. We sold them the rights to preproduce the record and we were financially compensated.

I have not heard this album previously, nor had I even heard of Mystery Meat before reading this post. Great sounds on both these tracks. $6K per pop! Astounding. I just looked them up on the web, and I see the album was apparently pressed and distributed throughout Europe without Mystery Meat’s knowledge. Rally interesting post, Brendan.

Any truth in the suggestion that Wayne Joplin was related to Janis, d’you think ?
