JAILHOUSE - Bad End



















JAILHOUSE - Ya Hoo Hoo / Bad End (Metronome 1972)

German issue of the Jailhouse's single "Ya Hoo Hoo".
As Hamlett's single "Where'd The day Go?", both single's traks were written by Cozzi, produced by Nat Kipner and released in 1972. Actually, the Hamlett and the Jailhouse may well be the same band playing with a different name. Who knows?
