Description

This is a rare issue of the classic Frank Zappa / Ray Collins song. Also issued on Art Laboe's Original Sound label. Featuring the Five Discs on one side ("Never Let You Go") and The Penguins on the flip ("Memories of El Monte"). Song-writing credit goes incorrectly to Cleve Duncan (lead singer of The Penguins). Credit should be to Zappa/Collins, who wrote quite a few songs together before forming the Mothers of Invention.
This split 45 is one of many incarnations of the well-known Frank Zappa and Ray Collins song, an homage to doo-wop ballads like "Earth Angel" and "Night Owl" and "You Cheated" and many others. Along with the Original Sound issue, the song also appeared on the Gorda label, and was split with Sonny Knight instead of the Five Discs. Sonny Knight's song, "Confidential," was written by Dorinda Morgan, husband of Hite Morgan who produced the Beach Boys first single, "Surfin" b/w "Luau" (Candix 331). Dorinda Morgan wrote the song "What is a Young Girl Made Of?" which was recorded by Brian Wilson (as "Kenny and the Cadets") and issued on the Randy label (Randy 422), with "Barbie" as the A side. Interestingly, the Zappa-Beach Boys connection doesn't end here. Apparently, father Murry Wilson first approached Art Laboe with the early Beach Boys tapes before he eventually signed a deal with Hite Morgan. Laboe turned the boys down, thinking they were too young.
Label has no writing, stickers, or tears. Only light wear and a few scuffs on the vinyl, which has high gloss. The matrix numbers MS 852 A/B (?) are scratched out and replaced with CH-101-A/B.
