Great two-sider by the El Venos on Groove
A rare record where I cannot really pick which side is my favorite! Both the uptempo side and the slower side are incredible. I love how both songs start out with only vocals and percussion, and then the rest of the orchestra comes in. The El Venos were from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and this record was originally released in 1957. This particular record was pressed in 1964 (the later Groove labels are the sign of the later pressing). I wish Groove had pressed more doo wop songs with this label. I like it better than their earlier style labels that are much more bland.
