Who sings this song...Abusing & Assaulting?

Post by todd »

I need help finding out who sings a tune please. I have a 7 inch on Typhoon, dated 1972. Side A is called Abusing & Assaulting, but the artist is scratched out. Side B is called Food Control. The artist is scratched out on side B too, but the sleeve has Shorty the President written on it for side B. The matrix number is DSR-GGR-8308-A. The lyrics start off like this...

What a disaster
these leaders are after.
Abusing, assaulting
their one another.
What a disaster
these leaders are after.
They are leading the people
right down to destruction.
The rod of correction
is no rod at all.
They need a beating
and that they must get.
Now that we are suffering
can't stand it no longer.

It is a great song. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Shorty Perry according to RKR. So perhaps it is Shorty the President singing on the a-side and deejaying on the b-side.
