Founded by Mick Sinclair, Cool-Cat-Daddy-O was
initially a vehicle for the Funboy Five single ('Life After
Death'/'Compulsive Eater', Phun 1) but developed to include numerous
other projects such as cassette-only releases, a current affairs
fanzine, and several other ideas which never quite came to fruition.
Those that did included:
'Great Disasters That Shook the World
& Marion' a cassette-only release from Prince Kermit and
Gain-Master Mick. The 7-track collection found the duo re-creating
great disasters that did indeed shake the world.

And
'A Cassette by Milkshake Melon' – a continually evolving cassette-only
release from the alter-ego of Mick Sinclair that purchasers could
return for updates and additional tracks. Curiously, many who heard it,
including several music journalists who reviewed it, assumed it was an
entire band rather than one person and many overdubs. More recently,
some have mistakenly listed the title as 'Waiting For the E.', which is
actually a good title but comes from an misreading of 'Waiting For The
E.P.' which was typed onto the photocopied sleeve. We are, of
course, still waiting for the E.P..

In 2014, Cool-Cat-Daddy-O
re-announced itself
with a new Funboy Five vinyl single 'Save The World'/'What Did
You Do With The Body?' (Phun 2101), and followed this in 2015 with
digital-only Funboy Five
singles, 'Radio
Free Asia' (Phun 2102), 'Ramptonesque' (Phun 2103), 'Kermitose'
(Phun 2104), and 'Vipers Of The Commonwealth'
(Phun 2105) with more to come.
