Beg Borrow and Steal - Original band members - Ohio Express Song

These are two of the original band who recorded Beg Borrow and Steal. It was released under names Rare Breed and Ohio Express. This is NOT a cover. People who recorded this record were: John Freno, Barry Stolnick, Alexander "Botts" Norbit, Joel Feigenbaum and Tony Cambria. The record did not sell when released under the "Attack" label, but sold about a half a million copies under "Cameo Parkway". We've also put the other song we recorded on YouTube, Lightning Doesn't Strike Twice. A picture of the original 5 who recorded these songs can be seen at http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bandorig1isel9.jpg

WOW!...You guys really got the middle fickle of fate from the record label and the producers, but....considering the label and the producers that were involved, it's really no surprise at all.- That label was notorious for screwing all of the artist who had records on that label...

But..All that aside, you guys STILL SOUND GREAT!.. Screw those Ohio Express phonies..You two guys ARE the real performers of "Beg Borrow And Steal".

Very good sound. Your vocals sound just like 45 years ago! Good job. I'm a boomer, love Nuggets, British Invasion, Garage Rock etc.

Got this 45 back at The House of Oldies in Greenwich Village when I was a teenager. Still sounds fresh as ever today! Thank you gentlemen - this is what makes rock n roll the greatest genre of music ever.

Hi guys, I just re-posted my 45 of this great song (Ohio Express pressing.) My old channel that I had it on was taken down by YouTube. I will post a video response.

I'm also annyoed that you recorded it just after I was born, and you still look younger than me ;-)

I love this song and it's great that you are finally getting credit for it. I don't suppose there are any clips of you guys and the original band? Shame if not!
