LOST & FORGOTTEN

Volume #2

Phone Me#102
Barcode: None

Review first published: 21.10.2003


Here is another twenty-four tracks of rarely if ever played Vocal Group recordings.

As in volume #1, we have a good mixture of tempos and styles. Recordings from the 50’s into the later 60’s. A good mix of tunes that is sure to please all of you.

In this volume as in the first, there are a couple of tracks I could find no info on.

Hopefully, you my readers, will be able to furnish this missing information.


So on with the tracks!!


1. King Of Broken Hearts – Daytons ’58 Norgolde $500 (Slide Over Baby!! Let’s Snuggle!)

2. My Blue Heaven – Belgianettes ’63 Okeh (Very good uptempo of this Classic) play

3. The Train – flip side (Sounding like the Marvelettes on this one!)

4. Alone – Jerry Lambert & Arcs ’58 K&C (Good ballad)

5. Dream Girl – Darrel Lee & Monte Clairs (need info on this one) (Ballad! Not the Rob Roys tune)

6. We’re Not Old Enough – Florence Devore ’65 Phil-Dan (A definite ’65 Uptempo)
