OK, who plays bass on this masterpiece?

[Jaycat]

 

[5StringBlues]

Fang?

 

[bass player 53]

You may be out of luck.
Here is the album, and here are the liner notes. The musicians are not listed, as far as I can discern. Joey Scott was the musical arranger.

 

[P. Aaron]

Phyllis Diller always makes one laugh.

 

[Fender_Bender]

If you know where it was recorded you can look at the local session aces or whoever the record label had a tendency to hire.

 

[Carl Hillman]

The same guy who played on this?

 

[Low Main]

Bummed that she never landed a key role with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

 

[96tbird]

My money is on Carol Kaye. Her numbers are on my side.

 

[Bob_Ross]

My money is on Carol Kaye. Her numbers are on my side.

Plus even if she didn't, she'll tell you she did! You can't lose!

 

[Pep]

Please, no more recordings. like

There are no formal recording credits on the album. It's possible that it was recorded in New York's Columbia facility. Ms. Kaye is pretty much exclusively West Coast.
Again, there doesn't seem to be any documentation, besides the producer and music arranger.

So Anyway, I lasted 38 seconds.

More important and pertinent is the producer, in this case, David Rubinson, who worked extensively for Columbia Records in that time period. As a rock producer, one of his main acts was the Chambers Brothers, who were based in Los Angeles, but he also did a fair amount of work in San Francisco, establishing the Automatt recording studio there.
Circumstantial evidence would lead me to believe that Phyllis, being a Hollywood actress, would record in L.A., and yes, the basswork sounds like Kaye to me.

Ok, so I looked into the history of the record, David Rubinson, Engineer Fred Catero, who is credited on the record, and Automatt. My research says that the album was released in October 1968, catalog #
CS 9523. David Rubinson moved to San Francisco in March 1969, and was still a staff producer for Columbia in NY during recording, production, and release of the record. The Automatt was established in 1976. When Rubinson moved to San Francisco, he brought Fred Catero, the engineer credited on the record. This was long after the record was released.
I contend this record had New York musicians, including the bass player.
