NS552 The Construction [1967] - Hey Little Way Out Girl [Synch 6 S-924]

b/w: My Heart Would Sing (official A side)
Format: 45
Label: SYNC6 / Grapevine
Cat No: S-924-B / GRP 112
Year: 1967 / 1979
Value: £770

Confused? Let me explain. Released in the UK in 1979 on Grapevine as Del Capris owing to huge demand.  This was in fact a Richard Searling (Wigan Casino) cover up of The Construction (a white band) on the tiny New York label Sync6.  The original on Syncg 6 is extremely rare.  I have only found 6 sales listed on Popsike in the last 15 years.  The Del Capris had already had a Northern ’hit’ with ‘Hey Little Girl” on Ronjerdon and then Kama Sutra, hence the cover up name was born.

There's a great article on Grapevine done by Pete Smith (Planet Records)
