Comments: Here is a copy of the original pressing of this 45 on the Argo label. About two months later it would be pressed with the Cadet label, still the same catalogue number 5519, as the Chess Brothers was legally forced to stop using the Argo name. 


Female duets for one reason or the other seems to be a lot rarer than male d:o. If going by the result achieved by this duo this is unfortunate. This is the first of their two 45’s, preceding their classic “In The Basement”. A-side is mid- to up-tempo, B-side a bit slower. This record made it into the lower echelons of the Top 100 towards the end of 1965.

 

?If you are unfamiliar with either side, you can find clips on YOU TUBE.?
