THE PEACHES - BABY THINK IT OVER

This is one of the final 45's from Chicago's excellent Constellation label, which sadly went bankrupt in '66. It's no surprise that this record had no chart action, as the label simply was not able to promote it or the other '66 releases.

Centered around the incredibly sweet vocals of The Peaches, this track is saved from tooth decay by the insistent and powerful snare drum that powers the track along. A typical Chicago trick of matching the beat with the sweets!

This is one of the more sparse productions from either Carl Davis or Gene Chandler (who are joined together behind the board here), but it's very effective on this track; I especially dig how the vibraphone echoes the tone of the girls' voices here, and is just as whimsical.
from 1966...
