All of Sam the Sham & the Pharoahs Top 40 singles were previously issued in mono on the Rhino Pharaohization - The Best Of CD, but that disc is now out-of-print (and unfortunately I never picked up a copy).
Any word on a release date for the Sundazed compilation, Brian? |

| It just says "soon" on their Facebook posting. But I think this is a complete A and B sides singles collection, which it doesn't sound like "Pharaohization" was. |

I have a promo single of a similarly-titled song that fits the chronology here...it's a girl-group called the Sham-ettes. Were they (as the name implies) STS's backup singers, or is this an actual STS song?
One of my favorite novelty songs of all time. Was this ever available on anything but a 45? |
