I hope you are still around, as your original post was over a year ago.

For long & complicated reasons I have been searching for the 'molassas' record for many years. Although I have never heard it, your post is the first evidence I have ever found of it.

I understand it might have been by "Yokahama Mama & The Six Saki Sippers". Can you shed any more light, or know any good direction I can go?

Any help much apreciated
