BOGART Records - Mr. Imperative's Waste of Time at a Bogus Label


NORTH PHOENIX, AZ (IFS) -- It's a shame that such great artist like Prentiss Anderson, formerly of Leo and the Leopards, the Contours, the Originals, the Temptations, and a member of the original Motown Release Committee, knows the sounds of great records.  Why would Prentiss Anderson commit artist suicide by having Bogart Records release this -- thing called "Soap And Water".  

It should have been named "Soapy Water" by the producer Robert Bogart, president, and CEO of Bogart Records with four multi-labels and two music publishing arms.  Bogart's experience as a record producer and recording studio engineer here in Phoenix for over several decades, appears to have sabotaged the recording career of Anderson, without knowing it.

How could a label let such a terrible production get released?  Maybe it just too many "cold ones" in the hand and very little between the ears that dictate the style while drowning in the "Soapy Suds".

So why should this writer care about this little recording label that never gets the attention of Facebook, Reverbnation, and any of its platforms?

News has it, that famed Sony Music record producer and songwriter came down to Phoenix to visit and produce a couple of singles at Blue Exit Audio Recording Studios in Mesa, AZ.  It appeared that Bogart Records wanted to go into partnership with Hotrax Records on its new recording studio in Apache Junction, Arizona.  However, the call was purely professional and a quick meeting at a local restaurant. However, Mr. Bogart could never find one,   Not even a local Jack In The Box right around the corner from his house. 

The last communication from Mr. Bogart was June 25, 2021, asking RG if it was "Imperative that he met to club and party"?

The only response to Mr. Bogart as he was to pick a place and time in North Phoenix, that was requested around 10:30am that morning.  The meeting was about recording studio rental and local musicians.  However, Mr. Bogart failed to respond, even when he told Ingersoll that he would meet with him, and just pick a spot and time.

If this story was not so comedic, no one would believe it.  So if you are looking for a response of any sense from Bogart Records, "Forget about It".  It's a bogus operation, phantom label, and productions from a "want to be"  armchair, long ago, and a forgotten recording engineer that did not make out so well with his dreams.  

Mr. Bogart, please keep your hands on a cold one, because you will never get a shot at a smash hit record again.
