The V.I.P.`s

"Don`t Keep Shouting At Me"

b/w

"She`s So Good"

45 rpm Vinyl

RCA Records (RCA 1427)

Released in 1964, this is an original UK 1st pressing.

Two exciting, adrenaline charged sides of UK R&B from this great band who included members of Spooky Tooth and later Keith Emerson of The Nice and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Here is some info from a Spooky Tooth website.

The story begins in summer 1963, in Carlisle, Cumbria, in the far North-West of England. Jimmy Henshaw (guitar, keyboards), Walter Johnstone (drums), Frank Kenyan (guitar) and former export clerk Mike Harrison (vocals) formed a beat combo, and dubbed themselves The VIPs. Johnston and Kenyan had previously been in The Teenagers; not long after forming the band, The VIPs added Greg Ridley on bass, who had previously lined up with Dino & The Danubes, and The Dakotas and The Ramrods, together with Harrison. They scored a record deal with RCA, who put out their debut single, "She's So Good" / "Don't Keep Shouting At Me" in 1964, both sides being penned by Henshaw. The single is a great slice of sneery Brit R&B, and is now an ultra-rare collector's favourite. From 1965 to 1966 the band were a top club attraction in London, and gigged regularly at the Star Club in Hamburg, garnering a sizeable cult following,

The original VIP's line-up recorded three more singles ("Wintertime" as The Vipps for CBS, plus "I Wanna Be Free" / "Don't Let It Go" and "Straight Down To The Bottom" / "In A Dream" for Island, produced by Island stalwart Guy Stevens) before disbanding. Henshaw, Johnstone and Kenyan were replaced by Luther Grosvenor (guitar), Mike Kellie (drums), and Keith Emerson (keyboards). Emerson had previously been a member of Gary Farr & The T-Bones; this variant of The VIPs gigged for only three months, before Emerson upped and formed The Nice, with Brian "Blinky" Davidson, Lee Jackson and Davy O'List.

Very difficult to find, get it while you can!!

Minor surface marks visible, especially under harsh electric light. The record sounds great and has no loud clicks, jumps, sticks or any other serious problems. A nice example of an impossibly rare and fantasticoriginal UK 60`s R&B 45.
