These two West Coast singles bring back the sound of the teenage fifties. Both were written by Richard “Dimples” Fields, a young independent Oakland producer, and have gimmicky titles and unique subject matter. Throughout the sixties they have popped up on various small labels and in 1970 have finally emerged due to their pubescent appeal and overwhelming dramatic intensity.
