I know that this is quite late, but things kept interrupting:
I only got a few replies to my request for information on appearances by
Johnny and Shuggie Otis. My thanks go to those who replied. Special thanks
go to "William D." (ihnp4!druxx!wed), who supplied considerable discographies
for both Otis'. Other information was gleaned from an impressive reference
book I found: NEW ROCK RECORD, compiled by Terry Hounsome (New York: Facts
on File, 1983). I'm going to post a review of this book soon.
Anyways, I said that I would post a summary (ie. discographies) to
net.music, so without further ado, here they are:

relationship exists among all of the "Johnny Otis Show"
albums (ie. If any of them are re-issues of any others).
