The Equadors - Sputnick Dance EP




No foolin today just a great record:

I love this EP. 2 great rockers (Sputnik Dance & Stay A Little Longer) sandwhiched in between 2 classic Doo Waop ballads. I wasn't alive when this came out but this harkens back a little bit more of a simplier time, at least in my mind it does. But what do i know, things were probaly just as fucked up back then as they are now...

Alan Turner was the lead singer in The Equadors, a Philadelphia rhythm and blues band, composed the song “Sputnik Dance,” which the group recorded in early 1958. The Equadors later renamed the group The Modern Ink Spots, and sang for several years...

Hi there! Just to be sure... Not the same group that did the Chess single with Chuckster on board, right?

Man, I gotta tell you, this is indeed great, I love this kind of music, don't know really what it does since I wasn't born either in that time, but man it soothes the beast...
