A REALLY EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT COPY OF THIS INTERESTING 78 FROM JACKIE RIGGS

A GREAT DOUBLE SIDER FEATURING

THE GREAT PRETENDER  b/w HIS GOLD WILL MELT

NICE RENDITION OF THIS DOO-WOP FAVOURITE WHICH BECAME A BIG CHART HIT FOR THE PLATTERS

The B side "His Gold will Melt" is the moral tale of what will ensue after a rich bloke pinches a poor blokes woman.

His gold will melt, till he’s got no more,

Then love will fly right out the door.

And he’ll be left alone to cry,

cause love is something that you just cant buy.

This is a much collected "Popcorn" track also associated with Northern Soul connosieurs. It was also done by the Mariners.

THIS RECORD DOESN'T APPEAR IN THE UK GUINESS HIT SINGLE CHART BOOK, BUT IT WAS LISTED AS REACHING NUMBER 15 IN THE MELODY MAKER CHARTS ON 14 APRIL 1956

THIS IS A HARDER 78 TO FIND
