Previous week position in parenthesis.
Those Vibrations are back, #26.
Recording as the Marathons for Arvee Records in California,
sounding like the
Olympics, who recorded for that label (shades of "Hully
Gully"!). A lawsuit came about when their label in Chicago,
Chess/Checker Records found out about this
"moonlighting". Chess won.
