Doing a piece of memoir, I looked up a former acquaintance, the
composer Mike Settle, and found this:
"In 1971 Settle sang lead on a song which was distributed as a cardboard
cut-out record (version #2) attached to the back of hundreds of
thousands Post <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Cereals> Sugar Crisp
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Crisp> cereal boxes: "You Are The
One" by the Sugar Bears
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Bear#Musical_group>, a studio
project involving Settle, producer Jimmy Bowen
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Bowen>, Kim Carnes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Carnes>, Baker Knight
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Knight>, and others. An album,
/Presenting the Sugar Bears/, and three singles were released on Big
Tree Records <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tree_Records>, with "You
Are The One" eventually peaking at #51 on the Billboard
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_(magazine)> pop chart in April
1972.^[4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Settle#cite_note-4>
I'm wondering if any on ARSC collected such cardboard recordings?
