Thanks for this. Found a mention of this record when I was scouring Billboard books that's what led me here. No idea that Johnny Rivers was involved in anything like this. Sounds like it was recorded at the same sessions that Spector produced his historic Christmas album. How was this group different to The 81 group?
@rlhemming This one shot single consisted of an ensemble of L.A. session singers. The following year, a different New York based group was formed and issued their hit, 'The 81' on Cameo Records. 'Let The Good Time Roll' was recorded at Hollywood's Gold Star Studio which is where Spectors big hits from 1962-1966 were also recorded.
I confess, I was hoping that the New York sweeties were tackling this song; I like their stuff....
