Sometime in the 1960s Hank Mullen’s friend and fellow Buffaloian Carl LaRue, an organ player, traveled with his group (Carl LaRue and His Crew) all the way to Phoenix, Arizona, where he’d secured a steady gig as the house band at the local Zanzibar club. Soon after starting the job, he would invite a young (16yr & 19yr old) vocal duo to perform some of their original songs in front of his band during shows. 

Ernest Johnson Jr. and Eddie (Edgar) William Campbell were eager to make it in music and for the next 10 odd years would attempt to do so.

They managed to record and release a handful of singles across varied imprints spread throughout the United States, from South Carolina to Chicago, from New York to Phoenix. One of their singles, “Time Waits for No One” hit #1 on New York’s WWRL, which subsequently landed on the bill at the Apollo, appearing alongside soul heavyweight’s Gene Chandler, Wilson Pickett, and the Temptations. Through ups and downs, none of their pair’s recordings ever served to catapult them to greater fame and sadly in the early 70’s, Eddie’s premature death would close the door on their partnership. 

One of the duo’s last recordings, “Bullets Don’t Have Eyes” was never released at the time of its creation in 1972. The 45 was eventually released on Daptone imprint Ever-Soul in 2009. 

There are two versions of the 45 available in the Super Soul Super Store. One with the b-side "In These Very Tender Moments" and another 45 which features a different b-side, "You Make My Life A Sunny Day," which is exclusively available in our shop.

This version is a 2010 update of a track made years ago in a session with local funk legend, DJ Benz, a pair of 1200's and his amazing 7" vinyl box. Many thanks to Helmut at Legere Recordings and Mr Confuse for putting this out on good ole wax and thanks to DJ Benz for an enjoyable evening of rifling through the vintage vinyl.

Here's what MUTO / Club Tikka / Legere Recordings said in their press release for the 7" vinyl...

"Here it is, Volume 5 in the Club Tikka 7inch series. Do you to popular demand we put Daytoner’s mighty glam funk workout of Mr. Confuse’s, "Hurricane Jane“ from his Légère Recordings download album - "Feel The Fire: The Remixes“ on the A-side of this very limited vinyl edition. Turn the single over and you will find Daytoner & DJ Benz’s much talked-about South-England lowrider bossa groove, better known as "Benz Bargain Bin Bossa“ in its full physical beauty"
