...and the A-side to their 1976 single -- and now the lead off-track of their 2017 compilation CD The Album We Never Made...
...the infectious pop Stones/Who confection "Call Me."
The entire album, which is if I do say so myself quite transplendent, can be purchased and streamed over at CD Baby HERE and Amazon. I am informed that it will also be available at iTunes, Spotify and YouTube shortly. I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, this has been several decades in the making, and it is immensely gratifying to have it finally available for public consumption.
Have a great weekend, everybody.

You posted “Even Though “! Another classic track from the album but not “Call Me”.

Fixed.
Were you dressed like these guys when you recorded this song?

Seems unlikely.
That shot was done ouside the Belleville rehearsal studio, a 1905 firehouse. But we did wear shirt and shoes and John Faison was not in a run away grocery cart.
This is wonderful! I still have my original copy of Call Me / On The Road, sleeve and all. I just bought my copy on Google Play. Going to crank this one up very soon! Thanks
Excellent! Did you record the songs recently (meaning the whole band is still together) or are the tracks from past sessions? Any chance of a gig? Jefferson Airplane meets Rolling Stones, meets Mothers of Invention (just kidding about the last!)
All the material dates from 1974-76, the vast majority of it done on 4-track. "Call Me" was done in four hours at Electric Lady; Ronnie Wood was in the studio next door working on what became his first solo record. I met him over the coffee machine, and he kindly gave me a pick that said "Woody's Pecker."
Genius is apparent at any age. This,however is not the case here.
BUT, a neat tune. Like the "Who-ish" bridge.
Funny,you don't look...

You say this often: "whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels".
Here's the thing: while I have a pretty good handle on how to pronounce "sleeve", I no more know how to pronounce "Nimels" than I do "Simels". So it's not really helping me to point out the rhyme. Perhaps a more common word could be employed? Phonetic spelling? I really would like to know.
