ARTIST: The Everly Brothers TITLE: Take A Message To Mary / Poor Jenny
LABEL: Capitol Custom 203

RECORD GRADING: G+
NOTES: Rare. Not sure if this is a test press or what. It's very rare and hard to find info on. 

This classic 1959 single from The Everly Brothers, released on Cadence Records, represents the pinnacle of 1950s Rock & Roll, Rockabilly, and Country-Pop crossover. Featuring the legendary vocal harmonies of Don and Phil Everly, "Take A Message To Mary" and "Poor Jenny" are essential tracks for collectors of First Generation Rock, Doo-Wop, and Nashville Sound productions. These recordings capture the transition from Traditional Country to the burgeoning Teen Idol and Early Pop era, characterized by their signature rhythmic acoustic guitars and clean, melodic arrangements.

As a staple of Mid-Century Americana and Vinyl Jukebox culture, this release appeals to fans of Sun Records style rockabilly as well as the polished Brill Building songwriting of the era. The songwriting of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant shines through here, offering a mix of Balladry and Up-tempo Rhythm & Blues influences. These tracks are foundational for anyone interested in Close Harmony singing, Vintage 45s, and the roots of the British Invasion, as the duo's sound heavily influenced the vocal structures of the 1960s.

This record is a must-have for enthusiasts of Oldies Radio hits, Southern Soul-inflected pop, and Acoustic Folk-Rock origins. The tracks sit perfectly alongside Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legends and Country Music Hall of Fame inductees. Whether looking for Atomic Age memorabilia or High-Fidelity mono recordings from the late fifties, these songs define the Golden Age of Pop and remain highly sought after by curators of Nostalgia, Traditional Pop, and Early Electric Guitar music.
