Two amazing vocal group harmony sides back to back, with both featuring each respective troupe's deep bass vocalist taking lead over slow and slinky backings. Both sides smoke and simmer away gently to a swinging, minor-key accompaniment, making them perfect late night picks for your popcorn shakedown!
The Ravens 'My Baby's Gone' was originally cut back in 1950, making the original one of the earliest (and hence scarcest) 45rpm's in existence! It's also extraordinary to think that such music was being made all that time ago, long before even Rock & Roll swept the world, as this is a sound which barely seems dates at all...
Similarly, The Sparks Of Rhythm's 'Handy Man' is a really unique sounding record with a heady mixture of smooth seduction blended with a somewhat malevolent, sinister edge. If you like your popcorn mean and moody, these 2 sides fit the bill perfectly. |
