Topsy II/ Topsy I

Here's a beautiful copy of this Jazz crossover classic. Although the "B" side of this single became the bigger hit, don't dare think the A side is a track to ignore! I love both sides and would never want to be forced to choose a favorite! Just make sure you get a beautiful copy like this one for your collection at some point, whether you normally love Jazz or not! Cole is a truly demon drummer! The B side started getting airplay in August 1958 on Pop radio, where it eventually peaked at #3; still on Pop radio, the A side started getting played in September and eventually peaked at #27 after 13 weeks. On the Bilozoard RnB Singles chart, audiences began to take notice of Part II in October, and the track eventually went on to top that chart. Note: This copy has Near Mint labels and, despite some light scuffing on the vinyl, Near Mint audio. The Part II audio sounds almost Mint.
