Please: Does anyone know anything about this Arlen release? Side One ‘Hey Girl... Side Two ‘Silly Little Girl’.

(N.B. I’m not looking for a review of the songs or the other label release like Sounds South, ABC-Paramount, etc, which i have)

Is it Hooky?

Definitely bogus- Arlen went bust in 1964 so there's no way there would have been a stereo release on this  single.

Also, seems strange they took 2 separate ABC releases (#10573 and #10601) and had them on 1 45 on Arlen.

The title and group type face  also look more modern than what's used on other Arlen 45's.

Plain and simple bootleg I'd say... But it's in STEREO !!!

Guess it was made for the US beach music crowd.

Probably.  But, I bet they got a fair amount of Belgian, French and German sales, as well.  Maybe a couple UK NS. too.

Why should they have had any sales in Germany? Probe/ABC issued it over here in 71 to tie in with the UK reissue. And it didn't sell well. Obviously, because it's a boring record.
