A reissue of the danceable album released in 1967 with the addition of a rare single soundtrack!
Skate Now / Shing-A-Ling," produced between 1966 and 1967, is a gem of the danceable and vital early Courtney.
It is a masterpiece overflowing with the energy of the time, and is filled with songs that are based on the popular dance trends of the time, such as skate, shingaling, and boogaloo, and that you just have to dance to.
The CD also includes the bonus tracks "I Watched You Slowly Slip Away" and "Ill Cry If I Want To" from Phillips.
Also included on the CD are the frenzied dance tunes "Hey Joyce" and "Im Mad About You" from Orpheum Riverside's other label, "Popside" (sampled by DJ Shadow and others).
The powerful charm of young Lou Courtney is condensed here.
