I have read on Motown Junkies website, that Ray Oddis' "Happy Ghoul Tide" was first released on Duchess Records in 1962. It seems that Duchess Records was distributed by Instant Records, of New Orleans, which, in turn, was distributed by The Atlantic/ATCO Group.
Does anyone here have it? The fact that Brice "Jack" Armstrong sang it, rather than radio announcer, Ray Oddis [[Otis), corroborates Bert Haney's story [[comments on Motown Junkies) on the Motown Mel-O-dy 107 and VIP 25012 novelty record entries. The Seg-way Music shared publishing with Instant Records' Tune-Kel Music, leads me to believe that he was located in New York, where Seg-way Recods was, and where Haney worked. Perhaps Success Records was a subsidiary of Seg-way?
Here is a label scan:
