= Paul Buff

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.1" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Paul Buff wanted to create a solo single for his Plaza label in 1961, so he took his middle name (Conrad) and became Paul Conrad. The A-side "Chocolate Milk" was a humorous song dealing with the popular drink. When this volume was initially assembled, this track was transferred from the only copy of the record (beaten up of course!) that is known to exist. It has since been cleaned up and will appear on a later volume of this series, but for now, you can hear some of the original with Paul Buff's 2007 version following it."

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.11" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Paul Buff would occasionally record something that was so out-of-whack that people didn't know what to make of it! Such is the case with "Funny," the story of a relationship that takes a surprising turn toward its end. The first version of "Darling It's True" is much more serious and conventional, but Paul's single as Paul Conrad ("Chocolate Milk"/ "One Night Alone") was clearly done to generate smiles and/or laughs! "Chocolate Milk" is the same recording as the one that sounded like a truck went over the record on Volume 1! However, this one is cleaned up quite a bit from the only existing copy of the disc (thanks to Dino Dupree!). The same is true for "One Night Alone." "

from the "Paul Buff presents the PAL and Original Sound studio archives, vol.14" liner notes by Greg Russo:
"Before Paul Buff (under his Paul Conrad guise) got "Chocolate Milk" together, he did a demo version. The longer version of that demo is present and accounted for! "
