Does anyone have any information about the group in this photo? If so, please send an e-mail to me.

Listen to this side and the flip, "Baby Sittin'"... is that instrument in the background an organ? Is the group on this record the same as shown in the photo at the top of this page?

Does anyone have any information about the group on this record? If so, please send an e-mail to me.
