Lookin' For My Baby/ Cross My Heart

Here's a beautiful copy of the group's second Rome single, on the maroon Rome label with silver print. This was the group's followup to their first chart single, "Life Is But A Dream." The A side is a highly worthy uptempo Doo-Wop rocker... easy to recommend this one! The B side shows the group's distinctive ballad side... definitely worth a listen.

The Earls released many 45s over the years, and most are ones Doo Wop fans will want to acquire eventually. In early 1963, after a handful of other largely ignored 45s, the group finally received well deserved fame — and an indelible spot in the history of the "white" Doo Wop revival of the early 1960s — with their hit "Remember Then," which climbed into the 20s on both Bilozoard's Black/RnB and Hot 100 Singles charts.

Note: This single is from a large collection we purchased years ago, 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. In this case, the A label also has a couple of black marks on it (see scan), so we're grading the labels a strong EX. The vinyl is Near Mint, with only the faintest signs of prior use/storage. The audio itself is flawless and vivid, offering the best audio for this release you'll ever hear, IMHO.
