MY BOYFRIEND’S BACK
My Boyfriend’s Back is the second studio album released by the American pop girl group The Angels. It was issued on the Smash Records label in September 1963. The album was produced by Robert Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer. It features the Angels’ biggest hit, “My Boyfriend’s Back”, which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Composed by the team of Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer, “My Boyfriend’s Back” sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. (More from Wikipedia)
Collectors’ record stores are the term I use to refer to stores that I try to avoid. I remember not long after I moved to the Coast locating a record store in New Orleans while on a short visit there, only to find that they really had nothing there which I wanted to buy. The album that I remember best was by the Angels that was named after their hit song, My Boyfriend’s Back. It is an attractive early 1960’s album that is not at all difficult to find; my catalogue shows a value of $30 to $40 (for albums in close to mint condition), but I have seen the album at $10 or less over the years. Well, this store had one copy in average condition that was priced at $35 and another that was pretty scuffed up which was marked at $20.
