Rap on brother!

Maskman, aka Harmon Bethea, had a very long career starting in the late 40's with a group called the Progressive Four. Over the years he put out over 50 records under numerous names, the majority being issued as some variation of the Cap-Tans or Maskman & the Agents.

Here's a partial list of some of those names:

The Cap-Tans

L'Cap-Tans

L'Cap-Tans & the Go-Boys

Wailing Bethea & the Cap-Tans

Bethea & the Cap-Tans

Maskman & the Cap-Tans

The Maskman & the Agents

Bethea the Masked Man & the Agents

Bethea [the Masked Man & the Agents]

Harmon Bethea

Harmon Bethea [the Maskman]

The Maskman

Bethea the Maskman

The Maskman [H. Bethea Sr.] & the Agents

Harmon Bethea, the Maskman & the Agents

A good many Maskman records qualify as pure novelty, some are just plain weird...but there's some good stuff in there too.

Here's one of the good ones....
