Cool little record on a cool little label. Front side is a doo wopper and this being from 1964 they must have been hanging on to that sound for dear life, as that was the beggining of the end for that style w/ the British invasion and all. The back side is a soulful instrumental stroller. Nothing amazing but pretty neat.

Hey, It's Jon from California, just a note on hanging on to Doo Wop in 1964. I was a little kid but I remember there was quite a bit of teenage resistance to the British Invasion, at least in New Jersey. It was a bit of a Mods V. Rockers dust up with fans of classic doo wop along with the neo doo wop style of the Four Seasons pitted against fans of the British Invasion. The British Invasion fans were generally younger and possibly a bit more middle class than the old skoolers. I remember hearing about fist fights and even knife fights between the two factions.
Google did away with my old newsreader, so it's a little harder to follow my old favorite blogs, but I've been checking in from time to time. Thanks for your posts.
