Note:  The book listed Rags/Doctor Velvet on Apollo 466 asby the Romeos.

  • Many comps credit ‘Rags’ to the Romeos and ‘Doctor Velvet’ to the Nite Riders.
    • After listening to both songs and both groups, the determinations would be that both songs were done by the Nite Riders.  The Romeos and Nite Riders are distinct from each other.
