best group ever
it has to be said, the orchids are the best girl group ever.
i have 3 of their 7" singles but never managed to find oo-chang-a-lang (alhtough it's available on cd) and i know there's a few other songs they recorded that so far have not seen the light of day. surely some record company needs to remaster and reissue all of them?

little star
sad to hear that twinkle died this week. mostly remembered for her death song 'terry' but if you listen to her golden lights album you'll know there was much more to her. - a english version of france galls 'poupee de cire, poupee de son', a few good covers and more of her own compositions. personally i think 'golden lights' is a doll classic. thanks for the music twinkle x

mysterious doll #3
and another unknown. i found this on the excellent dream babes:folk, rock and faithfull album which, in my opinion, is the best doll compilation of uk 60s girl singers - i wish they'd do a volume 2

mysterious doll #1
such a cute song, despite the dodgy lyrics "i'm such a young girl, so don't make me." although it's known that babbitys real name was barbara chalk there doesn't seem to a picture of her.

hold me dancin'
if you are not already following margo on facebook - you need to. she is great - posting wonderful photos (like the one above), sharing stories and talking to her fans. and what song to post? too many great ones to choose from, so i'll go with this fave of mine. i don't think she's ever put a foot wrong - all her songs are marvy- you don't have them all? - well, there's only 2 albums for you to buy-
so put it on your wish list and ask santa this year!

boxing marianne 1
these wonderful pictures of marianne from salut les copains were scanned by (diet) coke and sympathy - an excellent blog dedicated to 60s doll royalty marianne and anita pallenberg.

they tried to make 17 year old carol the new twinkle but without much success despite
this great song and her wonderful voice (especially the spoken parts).

who you calling nancy?
nancy blends the classic 'boots' sound with a classic 'bond' style to come up with this 007 pastiche for the film of the same name- great fun too!

fat bitch
one of her few recordings from the 60s; a small but amazing output.
