Ok, here is something i definitely don't do enough of over here considering i have thousands of 50's rockin' 45's and this here is one of my faves.
This goes out to my man over at Blues For The Redboy and he knows why....
This is the 1st pressing on AMP before Mercury records scooped up the band and put the same cut out in 1958. I found this a while back out in PA for cheap cheap cheap, after owning the only the Mercury 45 for a while now.
Info was pretty scarce but i did dig up a discussion about the band on the One Hit Wonder message board. Looks like they were from Canarsie, NY.

Try and dig up a copy of "Come Back Little Girl", if you don't already have one. That one is a real winner too.
Thanks Todd, I need a copy of that no doubt.
I'm still trying to find a copy of the last drag picture sleeve!
"And then the light changed..."
Classic!!!

John
