@PJDooWop One correction PJ Sir if you don't mind.

WIRL is an acronym for West Indies Records Limited which was started and owned by Edward Seaga (later PM of Jamaica).

WIRL was the alternative to the Khouri's Federal pressing facilities on the island during the 1960's.

Byron Lee bought the plant and studio in 1968 and renamed it Dynamic hence the matrix prefixs changed from WIRL.... to Dyna....which by the way is another aid to dating tunes especially blanks.

Respectfully Deck.

[PJDooWop]

Thank you for the correction. The funny thing is I knew that. I must have been distracted at the time I wrote that.

Good Shite!!

Perhaps someone will read our postings PJ and clarify it. Although 47 years is getting to be a while ago. :) Dave

[TheTidalwaves]

thanks PJ. Info on the web can be misleading. Not having a copy of this great record, I couldn't tell for sure what song was on the flip side. I think the Whirl pressing came after the Randy release, but I couldn't pin that down either.

Released in 1964 on Randy. b/w: - "Since You Leave Me"

(also listed as "Please Don't Leave Me").

aka Toots and The Maytels

aka The Maytels with the Skatalites

[PJDooWop]

Since You Leave Me is by Roy and Paulette.. It's listed the same way on the WIRL pressing

[ketefollen1984]

I never heard this. Voice of Hibbert sounds young. Great up friend!!!

[PJDooWop]

The Maytals have a lot of early recordings.. They did at least ten records on labels such as Coxsone and Worldisc before this even came out. Most of their early stuff that I've heard is rocksteady, although they do have another doo wop called "Daddy"

I love this one very much. thanks for uploading and sharing.
