Mosrite "Joe Maphis" 6-12 Double-Neck. While I'm not sure about exact year of manufacture, I'll guess, based on hardware (PUPS, 'guard, & controls layout & knob type) & markings (e.g., headstock decal style & positioning), it was made mid/late '60s, probably circa '67-8, i.e., during Mosrite's "peak production" era. All signs point to this being one of the last of the "Los Angeles Era" instruments. Bankrupted in 1968, (founder/owner) Semi (Mosely) moved operations (first) to Bakerfield, and soon after outta state to Oklahoma, and from OK, on to places even farther afield.
The migration from SoCal to Oklahoma is particularly ironic, given the Mosrite marquee's close association w/ several prominent SoCal exponents of the "Bakersfield Sound" (ie, SoCal "Country & Western"), not only Semi Mosely himself but such musicans as (most notably) Joe and Rose Lee Maphis, Jeannie Shepard, and Tommie Collins, all part of the Great Okie Migration from OK to SoCal during "The Dust Bowl / Great Depression" era(s) (cf The Grapes Of Wrath, etc.). So moving Mosrite from SoCal to OK was kind'a like The Dust Bowl~Great Depression era(s) migration in reverse. Neat, huh?
P.S. While oft-cited as "an Oakie", one of the most famed exponents of The Bakersfield Sound, i.e., Merle Haggard, was in fact born in California, the (first-generation) offspring of "Oakies", but not himself an "Oakie" proper.
Another much-vaunted exponent of The Bakersfield Sound, Mr Buck Owens, was born in Texas, and later arrived in Bakerfield (CA) with his family, who'd migrated to CA from Arizona during The Dust Bowl era.

I hate to post this here, since the music on the album itself is wonderful. I have no idea why they chose the cover photo they used:
As an aside, the title track contains one of the first known examples of 'phasing', the result of a mistake during the mastering process which was kept:

A literal mis-take mix? I did not know that, Serendipity!I hate to post this here, since the music on the album itself is wonderful. I have no idea why they chose the cover photo they used:

Forget where I read the story, but the producer thought something was missing from the song, so he had the engineer run the stereo and mono mixes together. As soon as the tape decks ran out-of-synch, the phasing/flanging effect resulted. Liking the effect, the producer had the engineer replicate the effect at various parts of the song, creating what WKBW deejay Dick Biondi referred to as "Toni Fisher's weird one."

I know the clown is holding a balloon, but at first glance it looks like he is offering a bottle of pills.
Wayne Cochran, he and his band were one high-energy unit! Probably better to see than to listen to...
