Written-By – Bob & Earl
Bob Relf – lead and harmony vocals
Earl Nelson – lead and harmony vocals

Bob Relf had replaced the original Bob of the duo,
Bobby Day, in the early 1960s. Relf was also known
as Bobby Garrett and Bobby Valentino,
while Earl Nelson later recorded as Jackie Lee.

The available discographical sources do not provide
a complete track-by-track instrumental personnel
list for CRS 3055. The album draws from recordings made at
different stages, so it should not be treated as
a single-session recording with one fixed backing band.

Recording dates

The Crestview LP itself was issued in 1969, but the recordings
are not all newly recorded in 1969. The album is essentially
a compilation/repackaging of Bob & Earl material from earlier years.
The Crestview discography identifies CRS 3055 as a 1969 release.

For “Harlem Shuffle,” the recording belongs to the duo's 1963
Los Angeles recording period, with Gene Page responsible
for the arrangement and Fred Smith producing
