I Hear Trumpets Blow / Love Really Hurts Without You

Originally released on B.T. Puppy 518. This great single is one of only two Top 40 hits that these guys scored after their chart-topping classic from 1961, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Nearly every Tokens single is worth seeking out if you're a fan of that 1960s pop form called "Sunshine Pop," which is characterized mainly by a vocal harmony sound deriving from early 1960s doo-wop, Beach Boys-style vocals, and folk-rock harmonies, on top of a Power Pop/Bubblegum Rock rhythm section. This is a new copy of the Ripete "Gold Nuggets" reissue.
