Wisdoms - Lost In Dreams - Mega Rare Minneapolis Doo Wop Rocker On Gaity

[138samp]

Thanks for uploading! I have this on the Gaity comp lp but its good to see it up on here. One of my faves!

[efmurphy3]

I found this record referenced on a For Sale list from George's Song Shop ($800 VG+) so after a search I wound up here to give a listen. Glad I did. GREAT tune! Thanks for the post, PJ. Go to minniepaulmusic (sorry, YouTube doesn't allow external links here) for an in-depth piece on the Gaity label and the person who made it happen, David Hersk.

[PJDooWop]

@efmurphy3 - I'll check it out, thanks. I heard from Dave a few years ago. I'll have to see if I can find his info.

I wasn't old enough to pee if I was born at all when this music was in vouge but I love it so much. The songs were so simple yet said sooo much and spoke to your heart in an innocent way. I wish it would come back.

[rockitradio]

......it's still a great tune.

[doowopvelez]

Amazing arrangement, great vocals and instruments.

[PJDooWop]

It's a little raw, but I agree that it's a great record

[garybrown57]

[BobbyDelRiv]

The ohohohoh ohohohoh part reminds of Frankie Lymon.

[murasakiryu]

Awesome! Signed too! Superb!

[13loomisst]

Yeah, it is somewhat discombobulated, but it's got that sound. Thanks very much.

[RockinEd]

It's a rockabilly band backing them up--Norton Records put out a 2 cd comp of the label's output--thetre are alternate takes of both sides

[PJDooWop]

I've heard an alternate take for Two Hearts Make One Love. Didn't realize they had an established band behind them. I wasn't sure if it was a combo that was put together for the record or not.

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

@PJDooWop PJ do you have the alt take of "2 hearts", if so could you post it?

[unitels2]

everybody always rememeber**all these doo wopers never went to school to sing & harmonize**they were self taught with much confidenece & creation****long live the sound doo wop***coined by gus gossert

[PJDooWop]

This is so true. Many, if not most of these groups were comprised of kids that sang on corners

[unitels2]

amazing a mid western doo wop****they really have that street corner sound**solid

[patrickb5197]

PJ, yeah 1965 or so, a dynamite record. A Gus Gossert tune I heard on his show in 1970, thanks man

[patrickb5197]

No PJ, by the Channels, after E. L. left the group, it's on Groove record label. Tuff side.

[PJDooWop]

I heard about a Channels record on Groove but never knew the title. This was done in the mid 60s, right? I'll keep on the lookout for it.

[patrickb5197]

Great side PJ, do u have Old Chinatown to post ? RSVP

[PJDooWop]

That one I'm not familiar with.. Is it by The Wisdoms?

[doowopkid]

One could almost visualize the group & band in the studio during the recording sessions. Wonderful ... thanks!

[PJDooWop]

It is a very atmospheric record

[angelofbebop]

GREAT song PJ! Great find! Thanks for posting!

[PJDooWop]

I agree with that. The autographs lead me to wonder who owned this 45.. Was it a member of the group or a friend? Maybe someone bought this from them at a show and they signed it? I'm thinking a group member owned it. If you look closely there's a signature with a line struck through it, almost as if that person was kicked out of The Wisdoms, lol.
