My Melancholy Baby/ Really Need Your Love

Here's another Big Band-era classic that this doo-wop group records in its by-then inimitable "Mr. Bass Man" style. Both sides are terrific uptempo numbers. The A side starts out with an hysterical bit of jive between the guys: The Bass Man begins by reprising the intro to "Blue Moon," and another Marcel interrupts him, saying "Oh no, Man, not that one again..." Note: This single is from a large collection we've purchased whose records typically have mint or near-mint audio and near-mint vinyl. The labels are near mint as well, but the owner had a habit of writing a date in small print on the B side label.
