wasn’t released until March of 1966 As With most of Reach Records
Thanks for your comment about the Len-Dells dating on ‘Reach.’ The book dated the recordings as 1964. There are various Ly-Dells discographies by other sources on the net with the 1964 date for the Len-Dells release on ‘Reach.’
With that said, discographies are generally a collection of material. Dating volleys between recorded date, released dated, reviews and charting, without an accepted consensus for all material. The ‘Reach’ releases are doowop songs and likely recorded before 1966.
If you have the ‘Reach Records’ discography, I can change the posts to include the two dates, one (Recorded 1964) and ’66 as the label release. Can you send this in a reply to this comment?
