Description

RARE ORIGINAL 1965 FRENCH EP WITH A TOTALLY UNIQUE SLEEVE.

In 1964 Roy Head and the Traits signed with Scepter, who had developed a nationwide independent network of distributors while working with The Shirelles, but then moved on in 1965 to sign with Huey Meaux of Back Beat Records, Houston, TX. "Treat Her Right" reached #2 on both the US Pop and R&Bcharts in 1965, behind the Beatles' "Yesterday." "Treat Her Right", with its blazing horns and punchy rhythm, credited to Roy Head and bass man Gene Kurtz, established Roy Head as a prime exponent of "blue-eyed soul." By 1995 "Treat Her Right" had been covered by as many as 20 nationally known recording artists including Bruce Springsteen, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bon Jovi and Bob Dylan. "Just A Little Bit" and the rockabilly styled "Apple Of My Eye" also cracked the Top 40 in 1965. In that same year TNT released the group's first album consisting of their music recorded for TNT and Renner Records, TLP #101 entitled "Roy Head and the Traits," which was also distributed by the New York based Scepter Records. Goldmine Album Price Guide offers a counterfeit caution when buying this album. The original from TNT and the legitimate Scepter 2nd pressings do NOT include the song "Treat Her Right." The counterfeit album is also attributed to TNT, but with blue lettering on the label rather than the TNT red. A CD offering 30 tracks today and containing the original red, black and yellow graphics on its cover is considered an off-shoot of the counterfeit vinyl version of the album. "Treat Her Right" ultimately sold 4 million copies and was the featured song in the movie The Commitments
