Description
The Bachelors with Thoko Tomo - sesik'inyembezi / I got troubles
I just unearthed this beautiful single with one side sung in the Doo Wop Jive style and a surprising b-side. The Bachelors and Thoko Tomo is a South African vocal group. The label mentions Jive and as far as I can find out this must be Zulu Jive while the b-side is sung in English.
‘I Got Troubles’ reminds me of Isicathamiya by the likes of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, even American Gospel. Such heavenly voices! This single was probably released in the early 1960’s following an earlier release as shellac 78 rpm. This was normal practice in the days when the 45 single format replaced the old breakable 78’s. The label New Sound is a subsidiary of Gallo Records, hence the image of the cock in the logo.
Generic sleeve and record are in EX+ condition.
