TOP COPY!

Always been rare...Original 1969 first pressing by an obscure girl group trio...an album that has always been intriguing.

Recorded in 1968-69, stylistically its about four to six years behind popular tastes (think Shangri-Las). Throw in the fact this girl group trio came from Memphis and you have a true musical oddity in your hands.

Kay Evans, Sandra Jackson and Judy Williams became friends while attending Memphis' Messick High School. Interested in music, they started singing at school assemblies and local events. Their big break came in 1967 when they entered a local talent contest and won. The winning prize included an audition with Stax Records.

Impressed by the trio, Stax signed them to it's newly formed HIP subsidiary; in the process making them the first female group signed by the Stax organization (and one of the few white acts on the company's recording roster).

Hip Records released as a single, "Condition Red" b/w "Didn't Know Love was So Good" (Hip catalog number 8005) provided the group with an unexpected hit. A classic slice of teen death drama the song's DOA message and sound effects that are simply hysterical. With the single peaking at # 46 on the national charts, Hip wasted no time jumping at the resulting marketing opportunity. Rushed into the studio to record a supporting album 1969's "Sugar Coated Goodees" offered up an odd mix of pop moves, pseudo-soul ("Girl Crazy") and girl group classics ("My Boyfriend's Back" and "He's a Rebel"). None of the three girls were particularly strong singers, all 11 tracks were sung in group unison. Some of the tracks are weaker than others, but there are quite a few winners. "A Little Bit of You" is a great slice of catchy poprock; they turn in one surprisingly raunchy take on "Double Shot Of My Baby's Love" and "Jilted" is noteworthy for its risqué he-left-me-pregnant lyric), pther tracks offer up nice infectious pop grooves. Overall strange, but well worth having in one's collection.
