    The album version clocks in at 3:30 - should be the same longer version -

    Actually the Carbo brothers were Hayward "Chuck" Carbo and Leonard "Chick" Carbo , The rest of the Spiders were Joe Maxon, Matt West and Oliver Howard. When Maxon and West left they were replace by Bill Moore and Issacher Howard.

    Darrell's version for me although George and Stevie are close. Jeff Conaway (who was also in the movie "Grease") is said to be the lead singer of the 3 1/2.

    There's an instrumental version on the flip side of J.J. Barnes version of "Our Love Is In The Pocket" -

    Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the album. The title seemed very familiar ( mostly because of the iconic 60's ad) and I googled a title search and came up with the picture. Sorry ........

    The year posted on you tube for this release is wrong- it actually came out in early 1962. There's also a post suggesting the group is actually the Five Royales doing some moonlighting. If you listen to both sides- it could be .

    Here's another 45 from Richard Anthony- probably related to the Virtue artist instead of the European one -

    Thanks for the info- after some research I found out the Lou Courtney is probably a mid '65 release while Howard's version is from February/ March 1966. There's also some lyric changes in the 2nd version which is why the writer's credits are different.

    "I'm Gonna Miss You" topped the charts in Chicago and stayed there for 2 weeks-

    Don't thank me- the info about Reggie/ Tony came from ......... Keith Rylatt's "Groovesville USA ".

    The label's releases do get a bit crazy- besides the two 109's, there are two #111's, two #114's, three #115's, and 3 #116's.

    The song "Jimmy Mack" has nothing to do with the artist. H-D-H came up with the idea when they attended an Awards ceremony and the song "He's So Fine" won for song of the year. He had recently passed away and his mother accepted the award and said "Ronnie Mack when are you coming back" which gave H-D-H the idea for the song.
