Faces are blurred because this was converted to video sometime in the 80's most likely and there was a time stamp at the top of the screen, the time stamp itself has been blurred out.
1: This is a low quality VHS dub of a (most likely) timecoded copy of the original 2" quad master tapes.
2: The original person who would of let this video leak on the internet would of either put the blurred lines on it as it's rare, or it could just be a piss poor job and trying to remove time codes, but it should only have 1 time code.
3: Betty is singing. Mary is lip syncing.
Now shut up and stop complaining people and enjoy the video.
Thanks for that. I assumed from the higher quality version floating around that the only extant copy was a kinescope (though that too is a video dub). Would that be correct?
@dazzababes the other version floating around (to the right, uploaded by "SixtiesPopGold") is also a dub of the original master tape(or a copy of the master with a time code), but his copy seems to be slightly better, although it still has the blurred lines, as does all of his other lloyd thaxton show videos.
This is the recorded version. It was on the b-side of their first album on which all tracks were made to sound like they were recorded at a live show.
@chnaUe Oh come on... the song was a standard by that time. Almost everyone was doing it. I'm fed up of all this "they stole it" crap when almost every band at that time was covering someone else's stuff.
@pamelexy : I'm not a racist either, but these little white chicks have all the "power" & "style" they need ! There isn't anything that , say.....The Shirelles could sing, that The Shangri-Las couldn't sing just as well, if not better.
@FILMLYFE: Look , I'm a vocalist and a musician, not a comedian. I know talent when I hear it. What you may think is worth a dime, I might say " lmao you are joking right ?" . Since I'm not sure what you are doubting, listen to the Shangri-Las sing "REMEMBER, WALKING IN THE SAND" or "LEADER OF THE PACK" . I cant think of anything that The Shirelles recorded , The Dixie Cups recorded, etc. etc. that sounded as strong or confident in comparison.
Well I got to meet Mary Weiss in her dressing room back stage at one of Murray the K's Holiday shows at the Brooklyn Fox Theater. She was having her hair ironed straight with an iron on an ironing board lol I swear!
@dazzababes ....love the details dazza....I never heard about Betty until your post...and have always thought that Betty was (by far) the best looking Shang. It turns out that brother George Weiss helped raise Betty's daughter so Betty could appear post-delivery. And he was highly involved on an ongoing basis raising her daughter as Betty began a personal career away from music (in cosmetics). George died in 1998. Not good. The Ganser twins both died early too...
@bailinnumberguy Betty Weiss was/is Mary's older sister. She apparently didn't like touring and live appearances, so she is absent from many of the videos, but she recorded with them. Some say this song (Shout) was recorded by Betty and Mary is lip synching. If you keep looking at the Shangri Las' You Tube videos, there are some where they are a 4-some with Betty. Both Mary and Betty are still living. The twins who were the other half of the SLs are both deceased. Hope that helps.
I've explained Betty's absence many times, and if you had read the video description above you would perhaps understand. However, I will explain it again...
When they started recording their first album in 1964, Betty was the lead singer. However, when she became pregnant with her daughter during the recording, Mary was promoted to lead.
Betty's occasional absence from tours and TV spots is due to her prioritising the upbringing of her child.
