<B>Mickey and Sylvia "New Sounds" LP Vik 1102 (1957).</B></I> Rock 'n Roll albums were not terribly popular in the early days, and this jewel was largely overlooked. Their classic single "Love Is Strange", of course, was a big hit, and the talented duo followed that with seven more that cracked Billboard's Hot 100, but not the Top 40. Mickey Baker did have a long and distinguished career as a session guitarist, and Sylvia Vanderpool had a brief solo stretch in the early '70s that produced a #3 Pop hit, "Pillow Talk". But looking at this album cover (what a presence!) and listening to the record (what a sound!) suggests this duo should have been much, much bigger! Ballads, blues/rock, and instrumentals -- superb harmony vocals and amazing guitar solos -- the duo had it together, and so does this album. It's pretty rare, and this copy has no peer, unless there's a sealed copy out there somewhere! There's a price sticker ($1.69!) on the back cover. Condition: MT 9/ MT 9. <I>From the GRT Collection</B></I>
