November Notables

I really like this record by Billy and the Kids. It was released in 1969. I posted the B side "Won't You Love Me Please" on the blog way back in 2011. Its great, the group was very talented. While organizing  my man cave recently I came across the 45 again and gave it a spin. I had forgotten how enjoyable  "Only You" on the A side was so I decide to post it on the blog as well.

The Cross Tie Walkers released this record in 1970. Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) was one of the most popular groups in the world at this time. As you can tell the Cross Tie Walkers "Days I Recollect" was heavy influenced by CCR. Strangely the flip side "Girl We Got A While Yet" has a pop sound, totally different.

The Liverpools (Wyncote)

In 1964 Cameo-Parkway started the Wyncote record label. Unfortunately the label did not have the same quality as that of Cameo-Parkway. Record jackets were inexpensively made and there was no inner paper sleeve for the albums. The albums were also pressed poorly. This resulted in the vinyl having pops and other background noise when played. A group called the Liverpools released two decent albums on Wyncote Records in 1964, “Beatlemania” and “The Hit Sounds From England”. Both albums featured mostly British invasion or Mersey sounding songs that was popular at the time. As far as I know the group never released a 45 single.
