This quite comprehensive RPM collection compiles everything you need to hear from eerily innocent vocal duo The Caravelles (who clearly took a page from their pre-teen predecessors Patience and Prudence), with the added bonus of their (slightly) more folk-rockin' late-'60s material.

"Lois Wilkinson (later professionally known as Lois Lane) and Andrea Simpson got together to record a few demos in 1963. A re-cut of 'You Don't Have To Be Baby To Cry' made by Ritz Productions impresario Bunny Lewis was leased to Deccaa No. 6 UK & No. 3 US smash hit resulted, and a pop career was born. Included here are their one LP, also released in 1963, plus their subsequent eight singles and one EP leased to different labels up to 1968, all properly reissued for the first time." - Cherry Red
