Souvenir Of Their Visit To
America
(Vee-Jay VJEP 1-903 MONO)
Released 23rd March 1964
Side A: Misery / A Taste Of Honey
Side B: Ask Me Why / Anna (Go To Him)
A confusing EP! Because Vee-Jay only had sixteen songs to play with,
they set about re-releasing them in as many different formats as
possible. This one came out on the same day as the 'Do You Want To Know
A Secret' single, and even had the same picture on the front. After a
few months it became clear that EP sales were never going to reach the
giddy heights of their singles, so they decided to re-market it as a 45
(even though it still had four songs on it). They introduced a new cover
with 'Ask Me Why' in bold print, and dropped the price by a third.
Highest chart position: Billboard) didn't enter; Cashbox)
didn't enter; Record World) didn't enter
US sales figures: 78,800
