I love this album. Probably my most favorite album of all time.

[barrypar]

this is too much. I had no idea that these guys did anything other than the Snoopy Songs, first one Dec 1966 and then another one a month or so later. I prefer Gene Pitney version but this is kind of cool

[TheFredKnox]

The most unappreciated group. They are a lot better than just "Snoopy and the Red Baron

[Basie369]

@TheFredKnox did you hear they last song Snoopy vs Osama?

[TheFredKnox]

@Basie369 No.  Where can I find it?

[Basie369]

@TheFredKnox Here on youtube is one video

[sexiesadey]

[sexiesadey]

@TheFredKnox Yep!!!!!

I like this version the best.

[toidhh22]

Great version of a very cool song. The singer's voice is perfect for this song. Very close to Gene Pitney -- one of the all time best singers of 60s pop. The Royal Guardsmen were very talented but underappreciated! (And yes, the photo is the Left Banke.)

[Basie369]

Left Banke?

[toidhh22]

Yes, Left Banke were best known for the original version of "Walk Away Renee" and had a few other hits as well. Some members eventually became part of Stories who had a hit with "Brother Louie."

@toidhh22 You could nearly get away with saying it was Gene Pitney. It is very good.

Great version, almost as good as Gene Pitney. Nice to hear a serious sone from the Royal Guardsmen

[IDLERACER]

I hate to be a bit of a wet blanket, but that is not a picture of the Royal Guardsmen, that's the Left Banke. And "Valance" is spelled wrong.

[eraserhead855]

Their version is best.

[dragonflygal109]

My brother has this song, and we will listen to it over and over! It's great!

[MaTTxCool]

Great song!
