(C45s)A Bird In The Hand (Is Worth Two In The Bush) by The Velvelettes

Label: Motown Yesteryear 461 Year: 1965
Condition: M $8.00
No images available.Originally released on VIP 25021. Let's see... imagine you're a radio programmer back in 1965, and this new Velvelettes single crosses your desk. It's from the hottest black label in the business, but for some reason they're using this V.I.P. label.
What's V.I.P.? Maybe it's a label Gordy's reserving for his B-string artists? Let's take a quick listen. Oh... sort of Martha & Vandellas meets the Supremes, huh? Not bad, but we got lots of that already. Next!
How else to explain the fact that this potential monster didn't even graze the charts? Both sides of this great reissue are back-to-back Velvelettes singles that should never have been ignored back in 1965, but were. Discarded without much notice, those V.I.P. singles will cost you over $200 each today! Note that they both feature a rare collaboration between Norman Whitfield and one of the Holland brothers. Too bad there weren't more! Unfortunately, this Collectables reissue is also becoming scarce.
