Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm vinyl disc, Lost Nite Records LPs 123, near-mint vinyl in a near-mint cardboard jacket. WMCA New York "Number One night-time disc jockey" Gary Stevens is credited with assembling these 22 cuts, and it is indeed a better than u…sual assemblage, including The Knickerbockers' "Lies," Del Shannon's "Runaway," The Shirelles' "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," Bobby Lewis with "Tossin' & Turnin'," The Chiffons' "Sweet Talkin' Guy," Syndicate of Sound with "Little Girl," of course Rick Derringer and The McCoys' "Hang On Sloopy," and "Sally Go Round the Roses," credited to the Jaynettes, though Nick Tosches in his book "Save the Last Dance for Satan" does an archaeological job on the song, highlighting Hy Weiss, owner of Old Town Records, and Zell Sanders, co-writer and producer, as key players. Sanders, along with Lona Stevens (wife of producer Abner Spector), crafted the song's enigmatic lyrics, inspired by children's rhymes but imbued with dark, ambiguous themes while Spector recorded up to 20 individual vocalists, layering them to create the song's haunting, echo-rich sound.
