This record reminds me of playing our 45rpm singles on the record player as a child at 78rpm!
I remember my parents had a ‘stereogram’ which was a big box designed to look like a piece of furniture which had the speakers to the left and right and a turntable in the centre, space to store singles and LP records, and a lid which closed hiding the working parts from view. I seem to recall this device was given to us by someone else who was getting a new ‘Fidelity’ record player and it moved into our house in the dining room in the early 1970s. I also remember that we were also given a few records as well with it one of which was this single.
As a child we had enormous fun playing the records that we had at basically double the normal speed which made normal records sound like ‘Pinky and Perky’ were singing and ‘Pinky and Perky’ records something else completelty!!!
As an adult I heard this song (played at the proper speed) and was not only reminded of this but what a great song this was as well. I remember the single was on CBS records and had a yellow sleeve!
Now listen to this classic….
