From Kalamazoo, Michigan. Red Machine (see Ownership notes below) is a super two sider. 'I Wrote This Song For You' is gorgeous - a sweet, soft, and sensual psychedelic ballad with fine lightly amplified guitar. I think they feature female vocals, but who is Willie? Could be a male soul singer. Beautiful in any case. The flip side is completely different. Starting with ripping fuzz, the track never lets up. Great example of hard psych.
Just learned that Wayne Van Dam was in a band called The Scavengers that had one single on Fenton, that is highly sought after.

We added the following commentary in Discogs' Edit section: Wondering if the band isn't Red Machine? One side says Vocals Wayne Van Dam. The other side just says Willie and the Red Machine. There is nothing else on the label Red Machine, which also leads to it possibly being the band. Not going to change it yet, as not enough data to do so. 45Cat also lists it as a split release. They have a date of 1975, but not sure where they got that from.
