I purchased this record in the "bargain bin" at a Woolworth's Store without ever hearing the song before. I bought the record because Phil Spector produced the song and I like the music Spector was producing at the time. I wasn't wrong this is still a great record one of the songs of my youth and I enjoyed listening to it.
Thanks and a tip of the hat for putting up this alternate version. I remember hearing the hit version when I was like 13, just starting to go crazy over girls. I remember thinking how cool it would be to have a girlfriend so faithful that she would wait for you to come home, spurning some other guy's advances, even when she "hasn't got a thing to do" and she's "so lonely and blue".
What a woman and what a singer Darlene Love was/is!
Stefmagura....you are NOT weird at all. I think a LOT of the Girl groups back then (both Black & White) were inspired by by the Andrews Sisters, & other similar sounding Female groups from the 1940's & 1950's. I'm an old guy, so I can pretty much vouch for this theory!

it was on a bootleg cd set of phil's out takes, i do believe the cd did get a more commerical release in the states a year ago, if its the same as mine chances are the recordings will be cleaner , something which i can do now myself when time permits
Not bad stereo, but too muddy! Besides, where's the countdown and unedited ending?!

Yeah, but of course I didn't appreciate it when it happened & we broke up later. Oh, the ones that got away!

Am I weird for saying that this reminds me of the Andrews Sisters? I know the vocals don't sound the same but still...
