Item description from seller

Not a book but a 12-inch, 33 rpm vinyl record album, Epic LN 24310, near-mint vinyl in a very-good-plus jacket which has been opened but still wears its original shrink-wrap -- though it does show a "cut-out" hole punched to top left. On New Year's Day, 1962, at their studios in West Hempstead in the north of London, Decca record engineers and executives auditioned two promising young rock bands: Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, and a second combo from further north on the west coast of England. Although it was normal to record just four or five songs, the group from up north stayed into the afternoon and recorded one take each -- no overdubs -- of a whopping 15 numbers (enough to fill an album) including Meredith Wilson's "Till There Was You," Phil Spector's "To Know Her Is to Love Her," King & Goffin's "Take Good Care of My Baby," and three originals including "Hey Little Girl" "Love of the Loved," and "Like Dreamers Do." (Though admittedly the Scousers were still saddled with less-than-impressive drummer Pete Best.) Of the two, Decca executive Dick Rowe chose to sign Londoners Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, explaining to manager Brian Epstein that Decca had rejected his boys from up north because "Guitar groups are on the way out" and "The Beatles have no future in show business." Brian Poole soon split from the Tremeloes to try a solo career, which crashed and burned. Finding little success at Decca, The Tremeloes replaced Poole with bass player Len "Chip" Hawkes and quickly moved on to Epic -- a CBS affiliate -- scoring a hit (here) with Cat Stevens' "Here Comes My Baby," covering "Good Day, Sunshine" by Lennon & McCartney (whoever they were), and pretty much winding up their run in the top 20 with their cover of The Four Seasons' B-side "Silence Is Golden" in 1967. This LP also features the Tremeloes' cover of "Loving You (Is Sweeter Than Ever"), by Ivy Joe Hunter and Little Stevie Wonder. Assuming those aren't wigs, where'd you get the idea for the cool haircuts, guys? And what ever happened to those guitar players from Liverpool? The ones who "had no future in show business"?
