Description
Only releasing a few singles in their short-lived career, this double LP compiles the Clinger Sisters’ singles and previously unreleased material – from early doo-wop to rock ‘n’ roll!
In the mid ‘60s, rock ‘n’ roll was almost exclusively a man’s world. The Clingers, four Mormon sisters, dared to challenge the pre-conceived notion that rock music was a dark and dangerous place that had little space for women. The Clingers' angelic beauty, shining harmonies, uncompromising virtue and ferocious ambition were a light in the often-tumultuous Los Angeles music industry. They attracted top music producers excited about the possibility of something new and unheard. It also attracted those who sought to exploit their talent and take advantage of their naivete.
By 1966, the Clingers, as they were now billed, had ironed their hair and dawned mod outfits looking every bit of an all-girl band. They were introduced to Curt Boettcher, who cared nothing for their family values and highly guarded virtue. He was simply interested in the Clingers’ talent and musical drive. Through Boettcher, they were introduced to the Ballroom, Jim Bell of The Millennium and Sandy Salisbury. Beyond the musical connection, the Clingers hung out at Boettcher’s party house and had their first real eyeful of a rock ’n’ roll counterculture lifestyle. Their eyes were opened to a whole different world of hippies, freaks, creatives and druggies.
