From a Cozy label discography:
There was also a rare incursion into Doo-Wop territory, courtesy of The Royaltones Dance Band. 'He Really Loves You' (#527/528), which Brian Taylor describes as 'a crazily rare oddity, with great retro doo-wop type vocal & bluesy guitar backing', is indeed much sought after by vocal group collectors who have generally never heard it as West Virginia doo-wop is something of a rarity in itself ! The delicate saxophone intro and the shady organ fills add up to an irresistible feel. But flip the record over and you're now treated to a fantastic 'Northern Soul' number,'Got To Go My Way', with strong vocals and a stunning lead guitar break. It has become one of the most desirable outings on the label and quite deservedly so.
EXTREMELY RARE !
