Description

Viscounts - Who Put the Bomp
Pye NEP-5002 Sweden 1961
Sleeve : Very Good+
Vinyl : Very Good+

The Viscounts were one of those odd pop/rock & roll hybrid groups that were common to both America and England at the end of the 1950s and the start of the '60s, but which always seemed to do better in England. Manchester-born Don Paul, who had won a few important talent competitions, including Opportunity Knocks on British television, joined the octet in 1956, and he soon met another newcomer, Ronnie Wells, winner of a recent harmonica competition, from Farnborough, Hampshire. And in 1958, Indian-born Gordon Mills, son of a Welsh army non-com, and another champion harmonica virtuoso, came aboard in 1958.

The Viscounts did tour with the likes of Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran, and covered "Who Put the Bomp (In the Bomp Bomp Bomp)," but there were changes going on in the music around them with which they could not keep up -- groups that were self-contained instrumentally, and even a few that wrote their own songs, were coming up around them, generating a much more powerful sound. They got to see the best of them, the Beatles, up close, when they were booked on a tour in early 1963 in support of Chris Montez that included the Liverpool quartet, just as "Please Please Me" had broken.

Original Swedish EP, containing Who Put the Bomp / What am I saying / Joe Sweeney / Honey come on Dance with Me. The sleeve has got a creasing in the lower right corner; the vinyl is graded Very Good+.
