Geeselad Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Anyone have the above or heard of it, white group, dark red label. My brother had it in the 80's can't find a track of it on the net. I'm 100% on the title, 90% on the artist, possibly vondelles or similar, any help appreciated.

I have a couple 45s by The Vondors, who were from Columbus, Ohio, and recorded in Cleveland. I have their record, Holiday 125 "Look In The Mirror"(vocal)/"Foot Loose"(Instrumental)". I think I got it in 1966 or '67. My copy is a darker orange, but couldn't be thought of as being red. I think it sold decently in The Columbus area, because I've seen several copies. I've never seen any Vondors' record on a red label. I've never heard "Rich Girl". I'd love to hear that. "Look In The Mirror has a great "Chicago-like" late '60s sound, with a super sax break! Here it is: Edited June 2 by Robbk 1

I think the "A" side, Gene Chandler's "Miracle After Miracle" is 1000 times better. The Van Dykes were a "Four Seasons clone group", whose original label was New York's Co-Op Records, which released several of their 45s. After having a minor regional hit with "Miracle After Miracle", they had to change their group name to "The Van Dyke 5", because of The Van Dykes, who had been recording for King Records. Here is one of their charted cuts from their original Co-Op label: 1 1
