Various - Good Girls Gone Bad Various

Sparkle Moore cut just five sides for Fraternity, and this compilation brings them all together in one place for the first time, albeit with a couple of wilder alternate takes, plus some outtakes from that crazy photo shoot. Once she is asked to 'scream' all the way through Killer, she throws herself into the task with abandon, and leaves us begging the question of why a 'tamer' take was used for the single. Jackie Shannon was another Fraternity gal, who went through various incarnations before she became singer-songwriter, Jackie de Shannon. She cut Just Another Lie at King Records Studio in 1959, using Rusty York's band. The vaults of Fraternity Records also reveal Bonnie Lou, who in 1958, at the comparatively ripe old age of 34, attempted an image make-over with Friction Heat, sounding a little sugary-sweet and tame, but scoring full marks for trying.
