At Your Command




















"Maybe, if I kissed your lips, I´ll be at your command..." In the indispensable collection The Heart Of Rock And Soul, which chronicles his 1001 greatest singles ever made, rock scribe Dave Marsh needs only one line to sum up this lovely girl group smash from 1958. It´s spot on of course: ´Virginity personified as an unwelcome condition´.

Love that track

Yes!! Loved UK-lovers' covers of this by Jill Reed (on a Stiff Records comp) and Dave Edmunds. Great to hear the original, and you're so right about the Marsh book. Never shoulda loaned that out...
