Doug Shorts [2022] - Ole School Love [Yawl's Music Productions] (Full EP)


It's been a long time coming for Fred Douglas Shorts who has 'flirted' with the music business since the 60s singing with The Visitors (originally The Mists from Kansas City), Shades Of Brown and then formed The Master Plan Inc. in the early 70s until they broke up in 1980.  They had a verbal contract with Brunswick around 1976 but at the time Brunswick was in a legal case over payola and none of their material was released.  Two singles were self-released on 'vanity' labels in 1980 and 1984. In 1986 he had a chance to audition with a band for Motown in LA but was let down by one of the members not turning up through fear of flying.  More recently his early material was discovered by Andrew Brearley and his wife Sheila Hernando who formed Cherries records and cut several new sides with him and an EP and a few 45s have been released on Daptone.  Jazzman has released an album of mainly previously unreleased material and a couple of other albums have been released on his own Yawls productions label.

An article and some material was posted on Doug Shorts in May 2020 after he released "Casual Encounter" EP on Daptone titled "The Return Od Doug Shorts on MasterPlan Inc.". Apart from a single, his first new material since then is "Ole School Love" released on 24 Oct 2022.
