DESCRIPTION:
The flip of The Electras’ “You Know” on the stellar Los Angles Cee-Jam imprint is from an artist so mysterious that even vocal groups expert Marv Goldberg is uncertain. Like The Electras, who sprouted directly out of the Valiants/Untouchables and the 1950s Los Angeles high school vocal group lineage, The Surgeons sound like a soul group that came out of doo wop. Manuel Chavez of The Jaguars gets the writing credit here and I think its probable that you hear him singing lead. Yet another unknown platter with powerful a huge voice leaping from its grooves.

You're listening to my daily addition to the New York Night Train Party Platter playlist. Each track here is recorded directly from my original 45s (no bootlegs, reproductions, etc) to give you an idea of what the real deal authentic vinyl sounds like. COME BACK EVERY DAY FOR A NEW FIX! Because the records pass so quickly at my danchttps://www.youtube.com/JonathanToubin

e parties, this channel is an attempt to stop and focus on one record at a time in hopes to personally learn more about each one and at the same time turn you on to the artists, tracks, labels, etc. I'm just hipping myself to a lot of these records for the first time as well - so you can view this as our journey to learning more about cool old records together! But mostly I hope this music moves you as much as it moves me.

Get your enjoys,
