  The song "Man From Utopia" was the flip side of Donald Woods & the Velaires notorious "Death Of An Angel." The key lyric of "Man From Utopia," "Mary Lou, big fool" was a variation of the Medallions "Mary Lou" - Woods & the Velaires had defected from Vernon Green, leaving him with essentially no Medallions in 1955.
  The title "Utopia" was taken from the well known Utopia Cleaners on 97th Street in Watts.
