The Rogues recorded two singles on Regan Records circa 1968-1969. They seem to be from Michigan, and the “Capital City Music” publishing on the one original song they recorded may refer to Lansing, but other than that I have no clue.
Their first 45 has good versions of Bob Seger’s “Heavy Music” b/w” a cover of “Born in Chicago”, released on Regan R-0021 with IRM #1039.
The second single has an original song, “Something Called Humanity”, written by Jantz (or Jants) and Gaik (or Galk) – I don’t have a copy so I can only guess at the names on a poor photo online. Publishing by Capital City Music BMI, released on Regan R-0022, with IRM-1067. This was the flip to a version of “Summertime”.
If anyone has a scan or sound clip of “Something Called Humanity” please contact me.
Steve Donahue produced both singles, the second has a credit to Don Kemp for engineering. I can’t find their names in connection to any other releases, nor can I find any other releases on this Regan Records label.
This copy of “Heavy Music” came from the collection of David Martin, with special thanks to his family.
