    from CAT45:
    Per Wikipedia: "In late 1968 with the original group on a recording and touring hiatus, the Kingsmen's management team, believing they owned the rights to the name, worked with the Kasenetz-Katz production organization and studio musicians to release a single on the Earth label ("Feed Me"/"Just A 'B' Side"). A separate group was formed with new members (including lead singer Yank Barry) to tour on the East Coast until disbanding after a cease and desist order was filed by the original group."

    The above text seems to indicate that this was done with the knowledge of the Kingsmen's management team and should be listed with their recordings as a result...
