girl groups - wednesday
THE ORCHIDS - LOVE HIT MEohmygodilovetheorchids! they are possibly my most favourite girl group. i don't understand why a record label doesn't release an orchids compilation, including rare and unreleased songs - other obscure 60's girl groups have had one, why not these?
Labels: 60s, the orchids

I was really hoping for The Orchids to show up this week... "Gonna Make Him Mine" was one of my first blowupdoll discoveries and still one of my very favorites of everything you've posted. I'm waiting for that compilation too--until then thank you for posting this!

Favourite eh?
Have you heard The Vernon Girls?
Try ANY! But especially the 'You Know What I Mean' 7"
" Boys are natural twisters... oooh, WHACK!"
All done with a strong Liverpudlian accent. Apparently the first group in sing with a noticeably regional accent. They are perhaps more well known for 'We Love The Beatles'.
"Ay... John's the gear!"

Hmm... haven't heard that, but wouldn't surprise me. They started out as a huge group singing for Vernon's Football Pools... hence the name. But you've probably investigated that already. There is a now-deleted CD of their 'gear' and a couple of their 7"s are not too hard to find, particularly "You Know What I Mean", which is really the best anyway!
