Record labels and manufacturers often mark the product casing to indicate
an "overstock" item that is offered for sale at a price significantly lower
than the manufacturer's selling price.
At OLDIES.com all item numbers
beginning with the prefix "VCL" are special clearance items that contain
this small marking. Because of this small marking, we are able to sell
these items to you at significant discount. Many of the audio CDs that
we advertise for $5.98 and lower are still sold for $15 and higher
elsewhere.
Rest assured, the audio CD is in brand-new condition, as we
do not sell used or second-hand product.
Best known for their 1965 hit, "The Boy from New York City", the vocal group The Ad Libs are joined on this disc by other artists who recorded for the Red Bird and Blue Cat labels.
The Ad Libs & Friends feature recordings by the Ad Libs, who scored with "The Boy From New York City"; the Dixie Cups of "Iko Iko" and "Chapel of Love" fame; and three less successful Red Bird and World Artist recording groups: the Poets, the Butterflies, and the Charmettes. The Poets -- Don McPherson, Luther Simmons, and Tony Silvester -- who became the Insiders then Main Ingrediant represent with "Merry Christmas Baby"; the Butterflies do Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry's "Gee Baby Gee"; while the interesting Charmettes wail about their "Sugar Boy." These 18 sweet mid-'60s Brill Building sounds revisit a time when music was sugar, spice, and everything nice. ~ Andrew Hamilton
