Description
This is a lovely condition EP from Twinkle. The main song is her cover version of "Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son", now entitled "A Lonely Singing Doll".
The record is near spotless. The cover is excellent, with the only obvious issue being the owners name written on the rear, but this is small and neat.
Please check out my photos of the actual item.
"Lynn Annette Ripley (15 July 1948 – 21 May 2015), better known by the stage name Twinkle, was an English singer-songwriter. She had chart success in the 1960s with her songs "Terry" and "Golden Lights"."
"Her song "Terry" was a teenage tragedy song about the death of a boyfriend in a motorcycle crash. The theme was of a common type for the era, it bore some similarities to the Shangri-Las' slightly earlier "Leader of the Pack" (1964), but the record caused a furore, accusations of bad taste leading to a ban from the BBC. The follow-up, "Golden Lights", was also written by Twinkle, with a B-side again by producer Tommy Scott. By then Cluskey was her ex-boyfriend: Twinkle dated Peter Noone in 1965. The lyrics express disillusionment with the pop business: her EP track "A Lonely Singing Doll", the English-language version of France Gall's 1965 winning Eurovision Song Contest song for Luxembourg, "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", originally written by Serge Gainsbourg, returned to a theme similar to "Golden Lights".
